Tony Khan on why he didn't renew Sonny Kiss's AEW contract
At the 2023 All Out Media Scrum, Tony Khan announced the release of Sonny Kiss. The former star made her debut in the promotion in 2019's Double or Nothing.
When questioned regarding the release of Sonny Kiss during the All Out media scrum, Khan said that it's hard to have a big rosters with limited TV spots, and therefore he could not renew every single contract.
"I think I’ve done a lot to really keep the locker room stable, and I have a lot of people that I not only keep under contract, but also I’ve done well to not do major mass layoffs, and let 20-30 people go at a time. But I do think I can’t renew every single contract in AEW, it would be impossible, and with such a big roster and a limited amount of TV spots, I think Sonny Kiss is a great wrestler, and had a lot of potential from the very beginning of AEW," said Tony Khan.
Khan also spoke about the possibly of Sonny Kiss returning to the company in the future.
I think Sonny Kiss could certainly be back potentially too. We’ve seen wrestlers go on and do some exciting stuff, and come back, like Stu Grayson for example. So you never know what the future holds for Sonny Kiss or AEW." [H/T WrestleTalk]
It will be interesting to see how things work for 29-year-old star in IMPACT Wrestling in the future.
