Report: Some AEW Stars ‘More Willing’ To Consider Joining WWE WWE/AEW

An interesting update has emerged on AEW stars potentially joining WWE following Penta’s recent Raw on Netflix debut.

While a number of former AEW names have re-established themselves on WWE TV, Penta’s debut on the January 13 Raw episode has got the wrestling world wondering who could be next to make the jump.

Per Lucha Libre Online, AEW talents unhappy with their current role are now ‘more willing’ to consider WWE as an alternative, with two talents telling Lucha Libre Online that they would explore free agency – and potential WWE interest – in 2025.

Exclusive: Our sources confirm to us that there are several AEW talents who do not feel comfortable with their role in the company. These talents did not dare to explore WWE as a real alternative due to the feeling of uncertainty of getting lost in the “monster system that is WWE.”

Others because they had not previously had the television time and prominence that they would have wanted in their past stay in WWE. However, that feeling of uncertainty was eradicated, because upon seeing Penta’s debut in WWE, those talents who want to leave AEW due to their current role in the company, understood that having the AEW brand on their resume becomes a strength and bargaining chip that they can use to their advantage.

Because of this, said talents who are not happy with their current status in AEW are more willing to study WWE as an alternative, with two of said talents confirming that they would explore free agency in 2025, specifically WWE.

Talents feel more secure and confident of achieving success in companies like WWE due to the administrative change, change in culture and the range of opportunities presented to talent who left AEW as was also the case with Ethan Page and Lexis King.
