AEW President Tony Khan recently took part in a media scrum to promote the upcoming AEW Full Gear PPV, and was asked about the possibility of Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) joining the company now his non-compete with WWE is over. Khan has previously praised the former WWE Champion, but there doesn't appear to have been any movement on getting him to AEW yet.
"I like Windham a lot. We’ll see what happens, you know, I haven’t talked to him about it ever, about him coming to AEW," Khan confirmed. "The last time I saw Windham was at Chris Jericho’s birthday party and it was a pretty late night, and it was last year. So, it’s a very different world. I only briefly saw him in passing - I was heading out while he was heading in. It was a pretty late night, but I think he’s a wonderful person and a really great talent."
While we expected Rotunda to immediately return to pro wrestling, it was recently confirmed that he'll be shooting a horror movie in Tennessee this November. With that in mind, it could be that he's in no rush to sign up with another company - even AEW - because he's still weighing up his post-WWE options.
Recently, Ring of Honor released its entire roster ahead of a planned comeback next April. The company is clearly struggling, and it sounds like Khan is open to signing some of their most talented stars.
"We’ll see what happens on the business side, and as far as the talent goes, I’d say stay tuned to AEW. There’s Dynamite every Wednesday, there’s Rampage [each Friday], and we’re on pay-per-view Saturday, so, you never know who’s going to show up in AEW."
It sounds like we should keep our eyes peeled during AEW Full Gear on Saturday, eh?
