I’m not releasing the name, stop asking. Once the offer is accepted or declined, I’m sure your savior Meltz will have the details you all crave. https://t.co/970K1y4JoN

Once AEW was officially formed, many speculated that a good number of WWE talent would be willing to jump ship in order to gain better exposure on a newer brand. WWE was even doubling contract offers in order to keep members of their roster from feeling unhappy or unused.
Lot of names have been thrown around as to who the star is, but as of this writing, nothing is confirmed.
Stay tuned.
