Unfortunate update on absent AEW stars - Reports

A few AEW stars have been absent for quite some time. New details have come to light regarding their future.

The Butcher, Blade, and The Bunny formed a formidable trio during the early years of AEW. They were one of the top heel factions in the company and were involved in many key storylines on a regular basis. However, as the Jacksonville-based promotion added more factions and teams to the roster, these three became less relevant. While The Butcher competed on an episode of Collision in February this year, Blade and The Bunny haven't set foot inside an AEW ring in over a year.

During a recent edition of Fightful Select's Weekly Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp was asked to provide an update on The Butcher, Blade, and The Bunny. Sapp responded that he hasn't heard anything about The Butcher since his loss to Gabe Kidd on Collision earlier this year. He also noted that Blade has been out of action for over a year due to a back fusion surgery. As for The Bunny, she is no longer with Tony Khan's company and recently even appeared in TNA.

Disappointing update regarding future AEW PPVs

AEW has made a lot of changes to its pay-per-views and shows over the years. They have changed the production quality and have hosted shows outside the US and Canada, such as London, Australia, and Mexico. The Jacksonville-based promotion made another big change when it announced that All In: Texas would start at 3 pm EST, which is much earlier than the usual PPV start time of 8 pm EST.

During another edition of Fightful Select's Weekly Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp was asked if Tony Khan will continue this 3 pm EST start for future PPVs if All In does well. Sapp replied that that may not be the case since later start times help PPV buys.

He gave the example of UFC, which tried to change to an earlier start time before reverting to its previous start time.

It will be interesting to see when The Butcher will make his next All Elite Wrestling appearance.
