Who was on the AEW roster in 2019? This page tracks every wrestler who was employed by All Elite Wrestling during the company's inaugural year, along with regularly used outside talent, managers, valets and authority figures.
Because AEW did not publicly disclose every contract type, wrestlers who appeared regularly without a confirmed AEW contract are listed separately and identified by their primary promotion or affiliation.
LEGEND:
★ indicates a brand-new AEW signing, developmental prospect or first-time official/on-screen AEW roster member during that year.
🪃 indicates a returning AEW wrestler or personality who came back to the company during the year.
👔 indicates a notable role change, such as moving from wrestler to manager, authority figure or another on-screen role.
⏳ indicates an AEW signing who had not yet debuted on AEW programming after joining the company as of the end of that year.
🏷️ indicates a wrestler or on-screen personality who changed their AEW ring name, gimmick name or on-screen name during that year.
🤝 indicates a wrestler or personality who appeared regularly for AEW during the year but was primarily signed to or affiliated with another promotion. Their primary promotion or affiliation is identified in parentheses beside their name.
Because 2019 was AEW's inaugural year, every official roster member was new to the company. The ★ symbol is therefore omitted from the individual listings on this page.
This roster archive reflects signings, departures, name changes and other roster developments that occurred during 2019.
