6 Current AEW Superstars who have been linked to WWE

#4 and #3 WWE gave The Young Bucks a big offer

In 2018, when The Young Bucks finished their commitments to NJPW and the other companies they were working for, they were offered a significant sum of money to join WWE. They even had a conversation with Triple H a few months before the birth of AEW.

During an episode of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson's Talk N'Shop podcast, Matt Jackson said that they were on holiday in Hawaii when Triple H called and offered them $500,000 each.

"I knew [Good Brothers] money. Everyone else was getting [$150,000] to start. He's already offering us $500,000 each guaranteed. I'm going, 'what!' Right then, we knew our street value. That was the first offer. Basically, he said, 'by the end of your trip, I would love an answer.' The whole trip, I'm [stressed]. I kept dragging it out," said Matt Jackson. (H/T Fightful)

The Jacksons praised WWE's professional handling of the situation, but they eventually decided to sign for AEW. In addition to being EVPs, The Young Bucks have already put on a number of incredible matches during their stint with AEW and are two of the most valuable members of the roster.
