Sonny Kiss Exits AEW
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has been making waves in the professional wrestling world with its dynamic roster and compelling storylines. However, like any other promotion, AEW also sees its share of roster changes, and Sonny Kiss is the latest name to join this list.
Sonny Kiss, a unique talent with a distinct in-ring style, had been missing from AEW television for some time. This absence led to speculations and rumors among fans and insiders alike. The recent revelation confirms that Sonny Kiss is no longer associated with AEW. Notably, this is a gradual release. Instead, Sonny’s contract with AEW expired and wasn’t renewed.
Sean Sapp, a reputable name in wrestling journalism, confirmed behind Fightful’s paywall that as of September 1st, Sonny Kiss had officially parted ways with AEW. This information came to light after AEW removed Sonny Kiss from their official roster page at the end of August. Subsequent inquiries revealed that Sonny’s deal had indeed come to an end.
Sonny Kiss has previously voiced concerns about the challenges of being trans in the wrestling industry. They felt that their identity might have limited the ways AEW could portray them on television. While it’s disheartening to think that such factors could influence a talent’s trajectory, it’s essential to note that the wrestling world is evolving, albeit slowly.
As AEW gears up for its “All Out” event, Sonny Kiss won’t be part of the action. However, the departure from AEW doesn’t mark the end of the road for Sonny. The wrestling world is vast, with numerous promotions and opportunities. Fans of Sonny Kiss can remain optimistic about seeing them shine in another setting soon.
The wrestling industry is in constant flux, with talents moving between promotions, seeking opportunities that align with their career goals and personal values. Sonny Kiss’s departure from AEW is a reminder of this ever-changing landscape. As fans, all we can do is support our favorite wrestlers, irrespective of the brand they represent, and hope for a more inclusive and understanding industry.
