[Francis White]

I glad you posted this list because in my thread I got accused of making up the list of people who could potentially leave.

 

[Reality Check]

Mauro Ranallo would be a good pickup for AEW.

Interesting that Marty Scurill wasn't listed given his contract is up at the end of 2019.

at Steph being on there. Like she would be going anywhere. Paige more than likely isn't going anywhere due to that movie coming out soon.

at Impact and MLW contracts being listed. They aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

at Chase Owens being up there like he's a marquee name

 

[MenacingMonk]

Lawler is signed til 2021?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

The question is will WWE re-up AJ, Usos, Nak and Ambrose? They already said they ain't upping Dean but that doesn't mean they won't try to get back to him.

I think WWE will lock all of them up long term. Nak is the one I could see becoming available.

How so? They're not exclusive but they have clauses that prevent the person from appearing on WWE.
