WWE Source Disputes AEW Talent Being Told To Hold Off On Leaving Until 2024
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that AEW talent was told to hold off until 2024 before making the jump to WWE as the company would have a bigger budget at that time due to a new TV deal.
Meltzer wrote: “Previously, there were talents that were interested in coming from AEW to WWE that were making main roster salaries that were told by friends in AEW to stay put until 2024 when the company would be able to budget far more for talent. Even if AEW gets $90 million per year, it should be very profitable going forward and able to bid for a lot of talent whose deals are up and as important, retain its own top talent because WWE would bid for some of them.”
WrestleVotes noted that one source in WWE disputed that is not the case as WWE will do business as usual and sign talent that is available.
“Asked a source about report circulating regarding AEW stars being advised to wait for 2024 if they are thinking of making the jump to WWE…Source said that’s ‘absurd’ & ‘if WWE is interested in a talent that is available, regardless of promotion, WWE will do business as usual”
