Over the past couple of months, AEW has made the decision to release Miro, Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Rey Fenix.
All four men had been off television for varying lengths of time, but had time left on their respective contracts.
Speaking on the AEW Revolution media call, Tony was asked if his philosophy had changed regarding release requests.
"I do think it's a case-by-case basis. I think everything is a case-by-case basis, and so much of life is a case-by-case basis. Philosophically, there is a change in what I've been doing. It felt like the right thing for the company and everyone involved at this point. That's the thinking behind that. It's on a case by case basis and they are all different situations. In this case, they did have similar outcomes. It's fair to ask why now and why I wouldn't have done that before. I just decided that's what I thought was the right thing to do at this point," said Khan.
Starks has already signed with WWE while the other three are currently free agents.
