Speaking of names and thinking about it, i wonder how much of an impact old wrestlers names would have on revenue. Like using Ricochet for example. Don't know if WWE pulled all his merch when he left or not, likely they did, but overtime I'm sure that fans aren't buying it. Like is there a big revenue stream of merch sales from former wwe talent that are currently in aew? I doubt that. I say let her keep the name if she leaves cuz not like a bunch of fans are gonna be buying bailey shirts months or years after she leaves. I'm sure there isn't a lot of sasha banks shirts being sold.
Hell I bought the damn R Truth in Judgement Day shirt during mania weekend and they kicked him out the group a few days later so not like fans gonna wanna buy a shirt that's a few years old anyways.
