I cross-referenced WWE and AEW’s official website roster pages, then matched (via a convoluted automated string-matching process) each wrestler to their Cagematch.net profile, then ran a check on the last time that wrestler had a match for their given promotion. This is the result.
Obviously there are a variety of reasons why a wrestler may be inactive — including but not limited to injuries or just being a “healthy scratch — which I didn’t try to parse here.
There are many cases where a wrestler has been active outside of their given company. The count of matches found in the Cagematch.net database for promotions other than WWE or AEW/ROH is shown in parentheses.
