6 Current AEW Superstars who have been linked to WWE

#1 Kenny Omega once received an approach from WWE

Kenny Omega fielded an offer from WWE before ultimately deciding to sign with AEW. When his NJPW contract expired in January 2019, he instantly became the hottest free agent in professional wrestling and there was plenty of speculation about his next destination.

During an interview on Wrestling Observer Radio, Omega said he chose to move to All Elite Wrestling to continue working with his friends and retain a measure of creative control.

However, Omega was nothing but complimentary of WWE and their professionalism during negotiations.

"WWE's offer was of course, fantastic. They went about it in a very professional and courteous way and those guys are nothing but professionals in the way they dealt with me," said Omega.

"They are nothing but consummate professionals in the way they dealt with me.....Every offer, there was no clear cut winner because there is always positives and negatives to every scenario. The most surprising thing to me was how cool it was to discuss my future with WWE. I was like, 'Yeah, I'll hear you guys out' but I didn't think it would be good because everyone was telling me what to expect. I have nothing but great things to say about them," he added.
