5 Ways Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley's absence can affect AEW

#2 AEW will have the opportunity to make new stars

While Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega's absence is heartbreaking for many fans, it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the rising stars in AEW. The company could push anyone from its top four pillars into the main event scene.

It will open the door for stars to step up and showcase their talent. MJF may finally get a shot at the AEW World Championship. Many underutilized wrestlers like Brian Cage might get the much-needed spotlight on weekly programming.

Tony Khan might have a keen interest in signing ex-WWE talents, but deep down, he knows the homegrown talents will carry his company in the future. It would be in his best interest to start giving guys like Sammy Guevara, Dante Martin, and Darby Allin more opportunities on TV.

#1 Tony Khan is creating a good reputation by giving time-offs to AEW stars

There's no doubt that AEW holds a friendly working environment, but its reputation of treating its employees has made them different from other wrestling companies like WWE.

Whether it's the late Brodie Lee's health condition from last year or Jon Moxley's alcohol issues, Tony Khan has done a fabulous job in handling the critical situation of these stars.

It is one of the reasons why even semi-retired wrestlers like CM Punk decided to return to this business. AEW has created a certain standard that intrigues everyone, even those from WWE, to jump over to the newer promotion.

The stars don't have hectic schedules or pressure as compared to other promotions. It adds a positive trait about working under the AEW umbrella.
