As the new year kicks off, there’s a strong possibility we’ll witness another crossover debut between WWE and AEW. While many free agents might join AEW soon, current WWE wrestlers switching over could make a significant impact.
Here are five WWE talents who could potentially sign with AEW:
5. Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura’s future in WWE appears somewhat uncertain. Although he likely isn’t looking to retire anytime soon, the right circumstances might lead him to join AEW. By signing with AEW, Nakamura could lead a farewell tour, allowing him to face a broad array of global talent—something that WWE cannot offer. Considering his connections with current AEW stars, former WWE adversaries now in AEW, and New Japan Pro Wrestling legends, a short stint in AEW before retirement would be a logical and fitting move.
Fan Take: This rumor excites AEW fans since a star like Nakamura brings international prestige and fresh storytelling opportunities. His potential move could redefine cross-promotional dynamics and elevate the wrestling landscape for all fans.
