Jeff Jarrett praised Tony Khan’s decision to maintain a larger-than-usual AEW roster, calling the booking philosophy “brilliant.” Jarrett argued that deeper rosters offer creative flexibility, protect top stars, and create more opportunities to build new talent and long-term storylines.

According to Jarrett, Khan’s approach can keep weekly programming fresh and sustainable by providing varied matchups and contingency for injuries, ultimately benefiting both performers and fans. The endorsement adds weight to ongoing conversations about AEW’s roster construction and its potential to shape modern wrestling booking trends.

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Paul Wight has reportedly re-signed a new contract with AEW, according to Fightful Select. The 54-year-old, who joined All Elite Wrestling in 2021 and has been a prominent backstage presence, was believed to have had a contract set to expire earlier this year but is now said to be firmly under a new deal, though the length of the contract has not been disclosed.

Wight has not wrestled since 2024 as he undergoes a noted weight-loss transformation, but he has talked publicly about a potential in-ring return and dream opponents in AEW, naming Kenny Omega and expressing interest in a heel run involving Darby Allin. His renewed commitment signals he will remain part of the promotion’s plans moving forward.
