A new report has provided the latest update on The Elite’s AEW contract negotiations.
Recent reports have revealed that The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page are all negotiating new deals with All Elite Wrestling this year.
Fightful Select (subscription required) provided an update, noting that the new deals with The Elite have not been reached as of yet.
However, the report indicates that both sides have felt like several deals had been close, with one side believing that could have been said for several months, and not a lot has changed on that front.
Those within AEW were confident that the company could retain Omega, Page and The Young Bucks, despite CM Punk returning to the company.
Punk is set to make his return to All Elite Wrestling on the debut episode of AEW Collision for the first time since the aftermath of All Out 2022, where he got into a backstage physical altercation with The Elite’s Matt and Nick Jackson and Kenny Omega.
The report also notes that WWE sources have indicated that the company would have interest in all four members of The Elite if they became available.
However, WWE doesn’t actually expect Omega, Page and the Bucks to become free agents, and the company are “nowhere near being legally allowed to talk to any of them.”
Last year, there were rumors that The Young Bucks had reached out to WWE, but sources close to them have denied this.
Most people within AEW expect The Elite will remain with the promotion on significant money increases once a deal has been reached.
WrestleTalk will provide their readers with the latest update regarding The Elite’s AEW contract status when they become available.
