1) WWE Stars Interested In AEW
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, “virtually everyone” on WWE’s roster has contacted AEW about possibly working for the promotion.
A name that hasn’t made any contact with AEW and isn’t going anywhere is Roman Reigns. Here is what Meltzer said:
“Roman Reigns is not going to AEW, not happening. Virtually everyone in WWE, including guys who have claimed different, at one point or another have called up people in AEW trying to see what they can get, or have had interest. But Roman Reigns, and there’s a couple of others, but Roman Reigns was basically, of the top guys, he was the only one who never even enquired. So he ain’t going anywhere.”
We can also add Braun Strowman to the list of guys who didn’t contact AEW. He came right out and denied ever contacting the promotion. Here is his conversation with Heel By Nature:
My Take:
- I feel like it would be a smart negotiation tactic for WWE stars to contact AEW. Even if they don’t want to join the promotion, they could use both companies to leverage a higher contract for themselves with WWE. Either way though, this shows that Roman and Braun are two of WWE’s most loyal guys.
