#2. Former WWE star open to working with AEW and is waiting for Cody Rhodes' phone call

Sin Cara, aka Cinta De Oro, sat down for an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, and the former WWE Superstar opened up on the idea of joining AEW.

The former NXT Tag Team Champion is entirely up for the challenge. Sin Cara added that he is open for business and that AEW EVP Cody Rhodes has his phone number.

Sin Cara loved what AEW was doing and explained that having competition in the pro wrestling scene made everyone perform at a higher level.

"We haven't had any contact with AEW. I think they're doing amazing things. They are doing the things that a lot of guys who never had the opportunity to do in other companies. Now they're building their brand, and it's awesome. Competition's always good for everybody."

Sin Cara revealed that while he hasn't spoken to any AEW officials yet, he doesn't rule out the possibility of joining other Hispanic talents in All Elite Wrestling somewhere down the line.

What a treat it was to speak to @CintaDeOro for 30 minutes for @SKWrestling_. He showed me his ENORMOUS collection of Lucha masks during the interview. Special thanks as always to @lawyeredbymike and @luchalibreonlin. pic.twitter.com/bAOEq6rCR8

"In my case, I haven't had the opportunity to talk to AEW, but I know there are a lot of Latinos over there, and I'm excited about that. Maybe in the near future, you never know what the future holds. The only thing I can do is continue the pursuit of my career and being happy, and things will fall into place. And I'm excited about the future, and if they ever contact me, I'm here. He knows my number; Cody knows my number. Lot of the boys there know my number." h/t Abhilash Mendhe of Sportskeeda Wrestling

The 43-year-old ex-WWE star is ready for AEW, but will Cody Rhodes make the all-important phone call? Only time will tell.
