Talent within AEW frustrated with their role with the promotion are looking at WWE as a viable option given the success of several All Elite alum.
Lucha Libre Online is reporting that several AEW talents have expressed frustration with their current roles in Tony Khan’s promotion and are ready for a change.
While they didn’t initially believe WWE was a viable option due to concerns about getting lost in the shuffle, their perspective has shifted in recent months.
This attitude has changed following the successful debut of Penta during this week’s episode of RAW, where he defeated Chad Gable.
