AEW Held Discussions With Former WWE Champion

They were talking. WWE has long since been the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and that is not likely to change anytime soon. However, for the first time in decades, a well funded promotion has risen up to be the second biggest company and shares some of that big stage. AEW has taken the secondary spot along with some former WWE stars. It seems that they had even tried to pick up another.

According to Fightful Select, AEW and former WWE star Paige had some conversations about potentially working together in some capacity. There is nothing to suggest that they reached an agreement, though it is possible that something could change in the future. Paige has retired from the ring due to a series of neck injuries, though she has said that she could wrestle again in a special moment.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that gets a few eyebrows going up but I would be surprised to see Paige getting back in the ring. Paige is a very talented star and was a big bridge between the old era of women’s wrestling and the Women’s Revolution, but that kind of a neck injury is not something to mess with at all. I’d like to believe she won’t do it, though there is always a chance.
