Several former AEW champions who have held prestigious titles over recent years are making their way to WWE. Notable names like former TNT Champion Cody Rhodes, former TBS Champion Jade Cargill, and ex-AEW World Champion CM Punk have all joined WWE in significant roles. Over the last year, WWE has also welcomed talents like Ricky Starks, Penta El Zero M, and Rey Fenix after their long tenures in AEW. Currently, there are seven notable former AEW titleholders who are potential WWE signees.
Among these is Saraya, formerly known as Paige, who left AEW in March. Many fans speculated that she might return to WWE, and she appears open to making a comeback. During her three years in AEW, she mentored younger stars within the promotion, and now, back in her Paige persona, she has plenty to contribute. If WWE allows her to compete again, she could significantly elevate the women’s division with her star power.
Fan Take: This trend of former AEW champions moving to WWE could shake up the wrestling landscape, challenging AEW to continually innovate and develop new stars. For fans, it highlights the evolving rivalry between the promotions and keeps the sport dynamic and unpredictable.
