WWE/AEW

Two former WWE stars have reportedly had talks with AEW after it they were recently present backstage at a show.

Former WWE stars Mace and Mansoor of the Maximum Male Models have been having a successful career on the independent scene after being released from WWE last year.

The pair, now known as MxM, were reportedly backstage at a recent AEW Collision show, with Mansoor also being present backstage at the Los Angeles taping of AEW Dynamite, though neither of them made an on-screen appearance during their visit.

However, in an update from Fightful Select (subscription required), the duo of Mansoor and Mason Madden (Mace) have been speaking with AEW/ROH in recent weeks.

While nothing is definite as of yet, there have been discussions for the pair to make appearances for the Ring of Honor brand.

Fightful was not told if a deal has been reached as of yet, but there were some materials prepared in the event that they do end up working in ROH.

MxM recently made an appearance in Uganda for the popular Soft Ground Wrestling promotion, which you can see here.
