More on Awesome Kong & Shanna not having AEW deals renewed
Added 2021-06-01 18:00:03 +0000 UTCDave Meltzer reported today that both Awesome Kong and Shanna had not had their AEW deals renewed. Fightful had heard as far back as April to not expect Shanna back in the company, and there were some issues with her and some of the other wrestlers, namely extras and how they felt treated by her. Fightful has reached out to Shanna about the rumor, which we heard from talent, not AEW officially.
Awesome Kong hasn't been around much, if at all in the last 16 months. When Kong was no longer cleared to wrestle, AEW pushed along the split of the Nightmare Collective. This move was expected as she hasn't been in a coach role that was originally discussed for her as well.

There's a couple of questions that i'm interested in asking SRS/Fightful the match between Shanna/Leyla was that slap early in the match a working slap or legit shoot slap? I personally believe it turned into a shoot when Leyla confronted Shanna after the match to never slap her

2021-06-01 22:12:08 +0000 UTCEh, for me Shanna was one of the people holding back the pre-pandemic women’s division. She never seemed to really connect with the crowd despite the opportunities.

2021-06-01 20:19:30 +0000 UTCI wonder if the shanna stuff had anything to do with the weird racist Instagram posts I recall her making

2021-06-01 19:32:55 +0000 UTCHello everyone, I just have a question. Wasn't there a story that came out about two months ago about someone in AEW not being the nicest to extras? I might have misremebered but I just wanted to ask. Thank you

2021-06-01 18:32:42 +0000 UTCAye man. Gotta treat people right and not treat the extras like shit. Political controversies aside, no reason to renew if she's got that bad of an attitude.
