#1 Hope is true: A number of WWE Superstars want to jump ship to AEW

Quite a few WWE Superstars could be eyeing a move to AEW

All Elite Wrestling Dynamite has gotten off to a fantastic start on TNT, bringing in strong ratings and beating NXT every week. At the same time, WWE seem to be having trouble creatively and a number of wrestlers backstage seem disgruntled.

An unnamed WWE Superstar spoke to WrestlingNewsCo earlier this week and said that a number of Superstars were willing to jump ship to All Elite Wrestling when their contracts end while others will leverage it for better contracts:

“Let’s just state the obvious. Vince is still in charge and nothing will change until he steps down and that might not happen for another 10 years or more. A lot of guys realize this and some will take the money but some guys have a lot of money saved up and that AEW schedule looks really good.”

“I don’t know how many of us watch AEW but I know a few guys and girls here that watch the show every week. You can’t deny that their shows are great. My friends there say there’s no bull**** politics there and no walking on eggshells like WWE’s backstage. Jericho going there made it okay to say ‘yea, WWE is not the end all be all and I’ll be fine if I decide to leave.’ It doesn’t hurt that [AEW’s] schedule is much easier on the body.”

We hope this rumour is true so that the Superstars who end up leaving fulfil their potential while also helping WWE realize their current issues.
