Marko Stunt’s AEW Contract Not Being Renewed; Budget Cuts And Roster Size Cited As Reasons
After reporting recently that Marko Stunt’s AEW is set to expire in May, Fightful Select can confirm that he will be leaving the company.
We’re told that last week, Marko Stunt got the call from AEW talent relations in the form of Christopher Daniels and was informed that the company would not be renewing his contract. It was claimed that Daniels’ cited budget cuts and a large roster as the reason that the deal was not renewed.
Stunt hasn’t appeared on AEW programming in six months, and Daniels also was said to have mentioned that plans had changed for Jurassic Express. Stunt sustained a concussion in October, and was not booked or given a reason why, but did make an effort to reach out to the company to get booked to prove himself for a contract renewal.
We’re told that the split was amicable, and the conversation went well.
