Since the emergence of All Elite Wrestling in 2019, many talents have jumped from WWE to AEW and a few have left AEW for WWE.
WWE has signed two big names from AEW so far, which include Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill. Brian Pillman Jr., who was also with AEW for a couple of years, will arrive in NXT soon.
According to the Wrestling Observer, the belief in WWE is that more younger AEW stars will sign with WWE in the future, while veterans in WWE will leave the company for AEW.
A source in WWE noted that the war between WWE and AEW will turn into something like the competition between WWE and WCW or TNA. The claim is that a pipeline has developed and some of the younger AEW stars are already talking about leaving when their deals are up.
Even in AEW there are people saying the same thing, that it’s known that people are looking to leave and the hope is that the number is few, otherwise it will hurt the reputation of Tony Khan’s promotion.
There will likely be movement in both directions as there has been, but WWE is interested in the key younger talent.
AEW recently signed “Edge” Adam Copeland, whose WWE contract expired on September 21st. Over the years, the company has also signed veterans like Christian Cage, The Hardy Boyz, Billy Gunn, Chris Jericho, Sting and many others.
