Tony Schiavone says it's an exciting time in AEW.
Over the past several months, AEW has continued to add stars to its roster. Will Ospreay joined the company in March, as did Mercedes Mone and Kazuchika Okada. Meanwhile, Swerve Strickland has reached new heights, as he won the AEW World Championship at AEW Dynasty, and MJF made his return at AEW Double or Nothing.
Speaking on What Happened When, Tony Schiavone highlighted the importance of a company building its own stars and stated that he thought AEW was doing that.
“It’s important for a promotion to make its own stars, and I think AEW is. With MJF, like him or not, with the Young Bucks, with Hangman Adam Page, who to me is going to be a great freaking heel, holy shit, and with Will Ospreay, who obviously became a star with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, but I think it’s an exciting time because we’ve got stars. Swerve Strickland is another one. We’ve got stars that we have made in AEW, and I think that is the key to any good company. Sure, Bryan Danielson gets the big pops, and I get that, and deservedly so. Claudio [Castagnoli], Jon Moxley, those are guys who were established stars and made stars by WWE. But here they are in AEW, and I think it’s a great combination," Schiavone said.
