Former WWE Champions To Sign With AEW

All Elite Wrestling has kicked off 2026 on an exciting note by signing several different stars from around the wrestling world.

Whether it be TNA talent like The Rascalz and Jake Doyle or the likes of Persphone, Mascara Dorada, Alec Price and Jordan Oliver, these names have added a lot of attention to the company as they bolster their roster in the new year.

Looking at the current free agents, there are several former WWE champions who could be brought in to play a role in the promotion throughout the coming months.

Here are seven former WWE champions to potentially sign with AEW.

7. Bishop Dyer (Baron Corbin)

Ahead of the January 21 edition of AEW Dynamite from Orlando, Florida, Bishop Dyer made a surprise appearance and competed in a dark match.

This follows over a year of speculation that the former Baron Corbin could potentially make his way to All Elite Wrestling.

The former WWE United States Champion hit the ground running on the indies and reinvented himself becoming Bishop Dyer in several different promotions, such as Major League Wrestling and Maple Leaf Pro.

Dyer signing with AEW could open the door for him to work with some top stars like his real life friend MJF in a prominent role in the company moving forward.
