Quoted By:
WWE releases around 10% of its superstars every quarter (for the last 2 years)
AEW signs 15% of its roster size in wrestlers every quarter (trend of the last year) +/- 5%
by this we can calculate:
2022:
>aew: 177
>wwe: 98
2023:
>aew: 216
>wwe: 78
2024:
>aew: 247
>wwe:61
2025:
>aew: 278
>wwe: 48
2026:
>aew: 332
>wwe: 32
2027 (5 years from now)
>aew: 402
>wwe: 21
how is that sustainable on either end? neither trend seems to be breaking as wwe did another quarterly release not too long ago and aew continues to hotshot debut random indie shitters every week
