AEW Reportedly More "Way More Picky" About Signing Former WWE Stars After Past Issues

AEW is reportedly being much more selective when it comes to signing ex-WWE talent, following multiple situations where former WWE wrestlers signed with AEW—only to be unhappy and eventually return to WWE.

According to Fightful Select, sources say the company has become “way more picky” with who they bring in from WWE, after some talents weren’t satisfied with their roles in AEW or how things played out behind the scenes.

While names weren’t mentioned, several high-profile returns to WWE in recent years seem to reflect the shift in attitude. AEW is now more cautious in order to avoid similar scenarios moving forward.
