AEW has yet to officially announce the signings.

Bear Country debuted for AEW in December and have become regulars on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation. They also appeared in the Casino Tag Team Royale at AEW Revolution.

Mark Sterling has played a lawyer on AEW television, first appearing alongside MJF during his feud with Jon Moxley. Most recently, Sterling became the manager of Jade Cargill on a match-by-match basis.

Details regarding the deals were not given. AEW has talent signed to a tier 0 contract ("agreed to appear") and will move them up to a tier 1 contract (base contract agreement), which is often indicated by the "All Elite" graphic on social media.
