There's been a lot of free agent movement over the past few years and I feel like it'll be easier to have one thread instead of a bunch of little ones.

This includes anything regarding available free agents, upcoming AEW contracts that are ending and recent AEW acquisitions.

Fightful keeps a updated list of free agents. Here it is for reference. Pro Wrestling Free Agents | Fightful News

I mean, I like Alexander as much as the next guy but there are tiers when it comes to positioning in wrestling. Guys like Swerve & Hangman are tier 1. For a WWE example, same with Cody & Roman.

Alexander doesn't really have the personality that someone like Swerve has or even the presence that someone like Lashley has. He's a really good wrestler, occasionally great, but I can't say position him at the top. I think honestly he'd best utilized in the tag division with the right partner. Otherwise I just see him as "guy who has good match on Collision", #247.

On her 10th anniversary show, joshi wrestler Maya Yukihi teamed with Kota Ibushi against Hikaru Shida and Michael Nakazawa and Kota Ibushi invited her to AEW. Kenny Omega also congratulated her on her anniversary. If Maya were to come to AEW, I assume it would be to match her up with Mercedes Mone.

Maya is very pretty

Josh is fine, a good hand. He's not a dynamic promo or anything, but he's serviceable. I didn't really care for him as a top guy in TNA, but he could be a big fish in a small pond there. He does the modern wrestling style as good as everyone else does it, if that's what you're into. Not sure where he fits anywhere else in any company.

Also, I've never liked his look personally.

He's another person that would have been a good signing for AEW back in 2019-2020. Now? I don't see the point. They have plenty of faceless wrestlers slotted into factions, which is probably where he'll end up.
