The New Four Pillars of AEW?

In a recent interview, Tony Khan was asked to name the current four pillars of AEW, selecting Kevin Knight, Kyle Fletcher, Mercedes Mone and Thekla.

When AEW launched, the original four pillars were MJF, Jack Perry, Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara, all of whom have found success in the promotion, albeit to varying degrees.

With MJF having re‑signed with the company in 2024, Perry’s departure would mark the first of those original pillars to leave AEW, a development that would be notable for fans.
