#4 Hopefully not true: Johnny Gargano leaving WWE NXT to join AEW soon?

Will Johnny Gargano become AEW's next biggest signee?

His contract status has become a widely discussed topic these days, especially after reports indicated that his deal would expire on December 3rd this year. Updated reports have stated that Gargano has now signed a one-week extension with the company to compete in the upcoming NXT WarGames event on December 5th.

Dave Meltzer noted that WWE offered a multi-year deal to Gargano, but the latter ended up signing an extension, which most likely means he's exploring options. Though the situation isn't as open and shut as it was for Adam Cole a few months ago, Gargano is yet to reach an agreement.

Gargano may not have agreed to a long-term deal with WWE yet, but we hope he stays with NXT. It is no secret now that AEW holds the most stacked roster in pro wrestling today, even surpassing WWE.

As talented as Gargano is, he will quickly get lost in the shuffle if he ends up joining Tony Khan's promotion in the near future.

Moreover, Gargano has been booked incredibly based on his potential, given that he quickly became one of the most popular commodities of the NXT 2.0. The company may even decide to move him to the main roster if he stays with them.


#3 Hopefully true: AEW planning to book Dr. Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa for Revolution 2022

It looks like AEW is planning to revisit one of the most gruesome rivalries between the two top-tier women next year.

During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that the company could book a rematch between Dr. Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa, possibly for the women's title. While nothing is set in stone yet, reports suggest that the bout could go down at next year's Revolution pay-per-view.

We hope this rumor turns out to be true, knowing that chapter I between Baker and Rosa was so captivating that it revolutionized the women's division. Both women previously fought in an unsanctioned Lights Out match that saw barbarity at its best.

It's worth recalling that Rosa won that match. However, Baker reached the top of the women's division, and the Mexican star is still looking to get her hands on the coveted prize. The company can now book Thunder Rosa as a legitimate challenger to dethrone Dr. Britt Baker at Revolution next year.
