The war between WWE and All Elite Wrestling is heating up and Dave Meltzer has now shed some light on how Superstars in Vince McMahon's company feel about their futures. Apparently, he talked to a number of wrestlers last Monday when
RAW was in his hometown of San Jose and many of them can't wait to leave WWE.
"They were just in town and everybody wants out," he claims.
"I won’t say everybody because that’s not fair. Roman Reigns doesn’t want out. But the amount of people who have contacted AEW would blow your mind. There are people that are counting down the days."
Ticket sales for
All Out completely exceeded expectations and WWE's Superstars can clearly see that the grass might be greener on the other side and that they can a) make money elsewhere and b) still become household names. While WWE is offering big money contracts, some wrestlers are more interested in having better creative and matches, hence why they want to leave.
"There are guys who have told me, including guys in AEW now, that they cannot believe that they turned the offer down [from WWE] but they did," Meltzer concludes. "I know people in WWE right now who are not interested in signing again and they can’t believe they are turning down the money."
