Former WWE Star Was ‘Incredibly Close’ To Signing With AEW

WWE/AEW

A former WWE star who has made numerous appearances for AEW has revealed that they were ‘incredibly close’ to signing with the company.

When the WWE NXT UK brand was announced as coming to an end in August 2022, many of the stars on the brand were let go from the company.

One of those names was Trent Seven, who had become a staple of the brand over the years.

Seven has wrestled for numerous promotions in the United Kingdom following his release, and he recently signed a contract with TNA Wrestling ahead of their upcoming relaunch.

However, speaking to Cultaholic, Seven wrestled two matches for AEW last year, and he has now revealed that he was ‘incredibly close’ to signing with AEW.

He said:

“There was one point where it was incredibly close to inking something, but sometimes things just don’t work out do they? Sometimes people are doing whatever they’re doing backstage. You know, you’re trying to plan a show [and] selling out Wembley. Sometimes some peoples’ names fall to the bottom of the thinking pile. But so be it, man.

“I couldn’t look back on the last 15 months and be prouder, I think. The way it’s worked out, the peaks and the troughs, the ups and the downs, the constant testing, the amount of people I’ve seen, the amount of countries I’ve been to. But now it feels like I’ve found a home.”
