#2. AEW signs three wrestlers to full-time deals

AEW is slowly and steadily building a deep and robust roster with a healthy mix of veterans and rising talent from the independent wrestling circuit.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that AEW has signed Bear Country and Mark Sterling to full-time deals.

Bear Bronson and Bear Boulder first appeared on AEW Dark back in December 2020 in a match against The Dark Order. Bear Country has made several appearances since their impressive debut, and both Bronson and Boulder have been booked relatively well during their time in the company.

Bear Boulder is currently away from in-ring action due to an injury. Meanwhile, Bear Bronson has branched out as a singles competitor, and he's done quite well for himself in recent weeks.

Mark Sterling is a well-known name in wrestling circles as the 41-year-old veteran has wrestled for several promotions during his active in-ring career. Sterling began his AEW run by playing the role of MJF's lawyer during the Jon Moxley storyline.

Sterling has retained his lawyer persona and has taken up the job of being Jade Cargill's on-screen manager.

It should be noted that there are presently no further details of AEW making any additional signings.
