AEW has been quite fun at their attempts to promote the show at other events. The New Jersey Devils allowed AEW talent to appear at a game and promote an event taking place in the area. Tony Khan picked Jade Cargill, Ricky Starks and Orange Cassidy for that spot.

Cassidy’s humorous persona always makes him an easy person to spotlight in promotional work. However, Cargill’s skill set is more tailored towards attracting non-wrestling fans to the product, as she takes pride in. Starks joined them as AEW started to wisely show him off more as one of the faces of the company.
