AEW is expected to strengthen its roster in the coming months, with a new report pointing to incoming additions during the summer.

According to Fightful Select, the company is preparing to bring in “nationally televised talent,” though no specific names were confirmed. The report did not expand further on who could be joining or when deals may be finalized.

This update comes at a key time in the wrestling calendar. Several WWE talents released following WrestleMania 42 are still within their 90-day non-compete clauses. Once those restrictions expire later this summer, a number of recognizable names will officially become free agents, opening the door for potential moves to AEW.

Among the names that have already sparked speculation are Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. The duo, known for their long run as part of The New Day, would bring established star power and tag team experience if they were to make the jump.

Tag team wrestling could also get a boost with the possible availability of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, collectively known as the Motor City Machine Guns. Their experience across multiple promotions and reputation for high-level in-ring work has made them a frequent topic in roster speculation.

Adding fuel to the rumors, The Young Bucks made a subtle reference to Kingston and Woods during a recent episode of Being The Elite. While speaking about the idea of fresh starts, the segment included a clear nod to The New Day’s signature phrase.

“Every day is a new day. That’s a great point. Everytime you wake up, and the next day is a new day. I’m never afraid about the new day. When a new day is coming, I’m excited,” said Matt Jackson.

The reference quickly caught attention among fans, especially given the timing with upcoming free agency decisions. While it stops short of confirming anything, it adds another layer to the ongoing speculation.

For now, AEW’s reported plans remain broad, with no official announcements made. However, the combination of expiring contracts and public teases suggests that the company could be preparing for notable roster additions in the near future.
