Former And Current WWE Names Backstage At This Week's AEW Dynamite

I know you! WWE and AEW are the two most popular and successful wrestling promotions in the United States and nothing else is really in the same ballpark at the moment. The company features some of the biggest names in wrestling, but there are several who are not working for either company right now. Some of those names were backstage at AEW this week, along with a current WWE star.

According to Fightful Select, several former WWE names, plus a current WWE star, were backstage at this week’s AEW Dynamite. Dolph Ziggler was backstage visiting friends, as well as his brother Ryan Nemeth. In addition, CJ Perry (formerly known as Lana) was backstage with her husband Miro, along with Renee Paquette (formerly known as Renee Young), with her husband Jon Moxley. None of the names were mentioned on the broadcast and there is nothing to suggest that any are coming to AEW.

Opinion: This isn’t much of a surprise as all three of the names have family working for AEW. It is nice to see some of these names around for the show, though I would be a bit surprised if one of them didn’t sign with the company at some point. Miro has mentioned his wife multiple times and there has to be some kind of a place for Paquette. Ziggler might be a bit more of a stretch, but I wouldn’t say he is out of the question entirely.

Will any of these names head to AEW? Which would have the best prospects there? Let us know in the comments below.
