The news that All Elite Wrestling has now been trademarked is receiving a lot of attention and now Dave Meltzer has revealed that there are those within WWE who are keeping a close eye on things.
"Everyone in the business today, it was something that people were talking about. I can tell you that in WWE, I know of people that are very very interested in this. I know of several names." That shouldn't come as a surprise, especially when the likes of Cody Rhodes and Chris Jericho have shown how much money can be made on the Indy scene these days in acclaimed matches.
"There’s a lot of guys in WWE that are scared to leave. If somebody’s got a WCW-like thing out there, there’s a lot of guys there that would leave, probably." As you may be able to tell, a sudden jumping of ship for these WWE Superstars would be dependent on this promotion landing a TV deal, something IMPACT Wrestling (formerly WWE's biggest rival) is trying to secure.
We're a long way off anything happening at this stage but it's definitely going to be interesting seeing how things develop. What do you guys think? As always, share your thoughts down below.
