All Elite Wrestling currently has a lot of wrestlers on their roster, in fact, we wrote about their bloated roster<\/a> months ago and in that time it’s managed to become even more loaded.\u00a0 This is a good problem to have for Tony Khan and co. as there is more than enough talent to fill their current programming with good matches.\u00a0 With AEW Rampage on the way though, we think it may benefit them to try and replicate the brand split.\u00a0 Why do we want an AEW brand split?\u00a0 Well, let’s explain.<\/p>\n

Why We Want an AEW Brand Split<\/h2>\n

More Talent Get Opportunities<\/h3>\n

The key reason to split the roster between Dynamite and Rampage is that you can give opportunities to more talents.\u00a0 As of now, it is difficult to get talents like Hikaru Shida<\/strong>,\u00a0Riho<\/strong>, Sonny Kiss, The Acclaimed<\/strong>, and others on the main TV show.\u00a0 The women’s division as a whole is fighting to get more than one storyline on Dynamite.\u00a0 With two separate rosters, talent like those named above would be more likely to be put in big storylines, get major matches, and be given the chance to showcase their potential.\u00a0 We’ve seen it before in WWE, splitting brands has forced talent to step up and allowed them to create more stars than they did when their focus was on one singular roster.<\/p>\n
