It was first reported by @Wrestlevotes that AEW made an “outstanding” offer to a current, big time WWE superstar. There was no name mentioned but fans began to speculate about who it could be.
We have an update for you on these rumors.
This update comes via Sean Ross Sapp of
Sapp says that he was told Randy Orton has been openly discussing his willingness to speak with AEW. It should be noted that Sapp is NOT reporting that Orton was offered a contract by AEW. He is saying that Orton has been openly discussing his willingness to talk with the new promotion.
Sapp reached out to AEW, who clearly stated that they are not tampering with contracts. They also said to Sapp that this likely could be a case of an agent trying to get more money out of WWE by planting something like that.
My Take: Would be a smart negotiation tactic if you are Randy Orton. Why not try to get the most money that you can from WWE. I would be pretty shocked to see Randy actually make the jump though.
