AEW is showcasing its talent for crafting engaging retirement storylines, attracting attention to a possible signing of a WWE legend. While AEW already features many well-known former WWE stars, bringing in legendary figures could provide invaluable experience to this relatively young promotion.
Here are six WWE legends who could potentially join AEW.
6. Beth Phoenix
WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix surprised fans by announcing her WWE contract expired in the summer of 2024. As a free agent, many supporters are hopeful she might team up with her husband, Adam Copeland (also known as Edge), in AEW. After an attack by FTR during AEW’s Dynasty event in April, there’s speculation she could make a return on AEW television alongside the “Rated R Superstar.” With FTR possibly aligned with Stokely Hathaway, the arrival of “The Glamazon” could provide an exciting counter to potential interference within the company.
Fan Take: Beth Phoenix joining AEW would be a huge boost to the promotion, blending star power with wrestling legacy. For AEW fans, her presence could spark fresh storylines and elevate the sport by showcasing a mix of seasoned veterans and rising talent.
