#4 Matt Hardy heading to AEW?

As reported by The Observer, there is a high chance that former ECW Champion Matt Hardy heads to AEW once his WWE contract expires this year. Hardy has been vocal about his displeasure in the manner in which WWE has been using him and with his contract coming up soon, the veteran will look to regain his momentum once again.

The report also stated that Luke Harper and The Revival are also AEW bound.

#3 Io Shirai to be called up to the main roster

Dave Meltzer of The Observer has revealed that Japanese promotion Bushiroad is very keen on signing Kairi Sane and Io Shirai, and are willing to give them hefty contracts.

However, WWE are likely to up their offers to the two women and may even call-up Io Shirai to the main roster.

“Io may be moved to the main roster real quick to keep that from happening because then her pay goes way up because her pay in NXT is nothing special. I heard she was making more money [with STARDOM]." (h/t: WrestlingNewsCo.)
