Former WWE stars were reportedly backstage during the one-year anniversary of AEW Collision

According to a new report, two ex-WWE stars were present on a recent edition of AEW Collision. The talents in question are Mansoor and Madden (fka Mace). This past Saturday Collision celebrated its first anniversary. The show emanated from the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio.

Last week FightFul Select reported that Mansoor and Madden were booked to appear on that week's edition of Collision. This week the exclusive pro wrestling media outlet disclosed that they were backstage on the show.

However, it is not clear what the purpose of their visit was.

WWE released the Maximum Male Model members last year in September. The duo now fights in independent circuits under the ring name MxM. Furthermore, Mansoor was spotted in an edition of AEW Dynamite a few weeks ago.

Another former WWE star was backstage in AEW recently

Around two weeks ago, another former member of the WWE roster was seen backstage in the Jacksonville-based promotion's show. The star would be Marina Shafir.

According to a report from FightFul Select, she was spotted backstage at recent AEW shows. It was also reported that she is back in Ring of Honor.

The last time Marina Shafir wrestled in Tony Khan's company was on December 27 taping of Rampage. She went head to head with Ruby Soho in a single match which she lost.

Before becoming All Elite in December 2021, Marina was wrestled under the WWE banner. She joined the global juggernaut in 2018. She was released from her contract in June 2021. Her last match in WWE was the WWE NXT Women's Title #1 Contendership Battle Royal on July 23.

Aside from being a pro wrestler, she is also a mixed martial arts star. Her MMA career began in 2012 at an amateur level. She is currently the DEFY Women's Champion.
