Fightful Select reports that All Elite Wrestling has renewed several deals for AEW referees that were previously on one-year contracts. Some of the deals were renewed far enough back that they may be halfway into those contracts. While it’s unknown which referees were kept, it was said to be “at least a couple.” Several of the referees had their contracts end before they got renewed. They will likely be signed to more long-term deals in the future.
Some spots have been criticized as of late, including referees pushing shoulders up or pushing them down to the mat. It’s unknown why this was done but isn’t expected to continue.
