AEW President and Head of Creative Tony Khan has signed another wrestler to add to his enormous roster. The newest signee is Ring of Honor wrestler Willow Nightingale.
Tony Khan has given wrestlers the freedom to compete on his promotion as a free agent. Several talents have been featured on television as part of a one-time or a limited-time deal. Talents such as Erick Redbeard had made deals for one-time appearances.
The AEW President has a track record of letting talent perform on his show, and based on their performances, he offers them a contract. Fuego Del Sol and Rush are examples of becoming All Elite in that fashion.
