8 AEW Stars To Debut At WWE Battleground 2025

8 AEW Stars To Debut At WWE Battleground 2025 WWE/AEW

While 2025 has seen several AEW stars jump ship for WWE already, there is potentially others that could pop-up at WWE NXT’s next premium live event – Battleground on Sunday, May 25.

While some have been benched for some time – others have already departed the company and are contractually free to show up in WWE imminently.

Here are eight AEW stars who could debut at WWE Battleground.

8. Wardlow

Similarly to current NXT star Ricky Saints, a curious disappearance in AEW throughout 2024 and now 2025 has been that of Wardlow.

Last seen back at AEW Big Business in March 2024, Wardlow lost a match to Samoa Joe via referee’s decision and was never seen again in competition.

Fellow AEW star Matt Taven previously said that Wardlow was rehabbing a knee injury, but more details were never confirmed by AEW or Wardlow himself.

While his contract status with AEW remains unclear, in theory at least – Wardlow could pop up at WWE Battleground should he exit Tony Khan’s company between now and May 25.
