Three former WWE talents were seen backstage during the latest taping of AEW Dynamite, sparking buzz about potential signings within the company. In May 2025, NXT wrestlers Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang from the Gallus faction were released by WWE after spending seven years with the NXT UK and NXT brands. Mark Coffey and Wolfgang are notable former champions in both NXT Tag Team and NXT UK Tag Team divisions, while all three played a role in training The Rock ahead of his WrestleMania 40 comeback.
The AEW Dynamite event took place in Orlando, Florida, a city closely tied to NXT due to many wrestlers residing there. Reports from Fightful Select and WrestleVotes Radio confirmed that all three Gallus members were backstage at the AEW taping, with multiple figures within AEW showing interest in bringing them onto the roster. Additionally, former WWE star Baron Corbin (now known as Bishop Dyer) made his AEW debut in a dark match preceding the show.
Fan Take: This development is significant for AEW fans as it demonstrates AEW’s continued commitment to acquiring top-tier talent from WWE, potentially shifting the competitive landscape. Introducing experienced performers like Gallus and Baron Corbin could boost AEW’s roster depth and elevate the quality of in-ring action, benefiting the sport overall.
