Many AEW wrestlers have a history of transitioning to WWE, and recently WWE has been mentioning AEW talent more often. Several former AEW champions, both newcomers and popular past titleholders, might potentially join WWE in the future.
Here are nine former AEW champions who could possibly sign with WWE down the line.
9. Britt Baker
After dealing with health problems that sidelined her for much of 2023 and early 2024, former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker made a notable return to AEW last summer. She soon entered into a rivalry with TBS Champion Mercedes Mohn, which culminated in a match in London, although it did not live up to fan expectations. Following two more matches, Baker’s last WWE appearance was in November 2024, after which she vanished from the AEW scene. Given that she has been absent from AEW programming for more than seven months, there is growing speculation about a potential move elsewhere. Although she reportedly has time left on her contract, her long break means a WWE switch cannot be ruled out.
Fan Take: This possible shift from AEW to WWE is significant for fans as it highlights the ongoing competition between the two major wrestling promotions. If top AEW stars like Britt Baker make the jump, it could shake up storylines and bring fresh excitement to the wrestling world.
