The competition between WWE and All Elite Wrestling continues to heat up.
WWE is still in the early stages of a new era; Vince McMahon retired on July 22, and Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan were subsequently named as the new co-CEOs. Triple H took over as the head of creative on July 25. Since then, many fans have buzzed about the new regime and the changes to the WWE product, including the re-debuts of stars that were released during McMahon’s tenure, including Karrion Kross, Dakota Kai, and Dexter Lumis. Triple H is reportedly expected to keep taking big swings, and a new report suggests that the new WWE regime set its sights on an AEW wrestler.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful , a source stated that a “notable AEW talent” told company management that WWE reached out to them about potentially bringing them in. This talent, who is known to be under contract with AEW, emphasized that they are happy with AEW and wanted management to know about the situation. This performer also made it clear that they don’t want to leave AEW.
Sapp reports that the claim was specifically that a member of WWE’s talent relationships department reached out to the individual in question. Sapp wrote that his source directed the call to their representative, rather than speaking with WWE directly. Per Sapp, he confirmed the claim with the performer, who wished to remain anonymous as of this writing. He also stated that while the claim ahs been verified, no additional information about the alleged contact at this time.
Additionally, Sapp cited sources who noted that there was “no mistake” regarding the performer’s full-time contract with AEW.
