5 children of WWE Superstars who could sign with AEW

AEW has become the new home for many of the most talented individuals in the wrestling industry. Several WWE Superstars have joined the promotion to do something different.

In recent months, fans have seen some children of WWE legends join the new promotion. Brock Anderson, Powerhouse Hobbs, Austin, and Colten Gunn are some of the wrestlers who have joined AEW instead of WWE.

Similarly, a few budding or top wrestlers could end up joining AEW in the hopes of bigger opportunities. While WWE is the dream destination for many, Tony Khan has given wrestlers an alternative to look forward to.

With that being said, take a look at the five children of WWE superstars who could sign with AEW soon.

#5. AEW could sign WWE legend Chris Benoit’s son David

Chris Benoit was known as one of the best wrestlers during his time in WWE. However, the company has distanced itself from the late superstar due to his involvement in a double-murder and suicide.

Chris’ son David Benoit recently entered the industry to follow in his father's footsteps. However, WWE will probably keep away from David due to the actions of his father.

AEW, on the other hand, could sign the newcomer without punishing him for the sins of his father. David is close to former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho and has also been backstage for several of the promotion's shows.

Speaking on the Pro and Bro Wrestling podcast, David said he shared the ring with a couple of guys from AEW:

"I'm just messing around in the ring right now with a couple of guys from AEW. There's some good talent there. [I'm close with] Chris Jericho," Benoit said.

He admitted that he is a fan of AEW, and went on to say that he would love to wrestle for the company in the future.

“I love AEW. That’s a good time, good, quality product, some good wrestling. I went to their first show, ‘Double or Nothing...’ I want to go to AEW one-hundred percent. I love AEW, I love what they do for the boys, take care of them,” Benoit said.

David Benoit has a mountain to climb in the wrestling industry. He could end up polishing his skills with legends like Chris Jericho before being handed a contract by Tony Khan.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley’s sons Terrence and Terrell could join AEW

AEW has relied on several wrestlers to work some matches without signing long-term contracts. WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley’s twin sons decided to have a go in AEW not too long ago.

Terrell Hughes and Terrence Hughes (collectively known as TNT) are trying to replicate their father’s success as a tag team. The two men have worked on different promotions and are patiently awaiting their big break.

The brothers have appeared in AEW for a match and spoke about their experience in an interview with Sunset Flip radio. Terrell and Terrence compared their time in AEW and WWE:

"Over the coronavirus, it gave a lot of people opportunities. Dark is something that happened as the virus happened and they had to locate in Jacksonville, so some good came of that. We were doing extra work with WWE and AEW at that time. We were doing RETRIBUTION stuff and (Raw) Underground stuff. We had a tryout with WWE and then went over to AEW. We were just trying to get opportunities anywhere we could. Our experience at AEW was really cool because WWE extra work, you're able to do stuff, but it's limited and you don't always get matches. Sometimes you're in the background or you do security. With AEW, you're a little more involved because you get to do matches and wrestle their top talent. That was cool. We got to wrestle pretty much all the top tag team except Private Party. We go with (AEW) as each week goes. As of right now, we are not contracted to them fully, but we're still doing extra work and coming back in August," said T.

AEW seems to be a better fit for TNT as they feel more comfortable working for the promotion. The two men could soon end up impressing Tony Khan enough to bag an AEW contract. D-Von Dudley’s name and influence will likely make the twin brothers a big draw in the years to come.

#3. WWE Superstar Santino Marella’s daughter Bianca Carelli is open to joining AEW

Many children of former WWE Superstars have taken an interest in AEW. Bianca Carrelli is one wrestler who is looking forward to an opportunity from Tony Khan.

Carelli is the daughter of former WWE Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella. Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling, Bianca said she wanted to work with WWE at some point in her career. However, she said she would love to work with AEW and IMPACT Wrestling.

"There is no opportunity in this business that I would turn down. Because that would be silly (Laughs). That would be silly to turn anything down you know... If wrestling is what I want to do and it is, any opportunity I have I am thankful for, I am grateful for and I am going to take it because I want to learn, because I want to grow and I want to improve. And I want to see how far I can take this. And hopefully, to the top," Carelli said.

AEW could provide Bianca with a platform to take her wrestling career to the next level. She could work on her skills and join the promotion to make it big in the industry one day.

#2. WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper’s daughter Teal Piper has already appeared in AEW

AEW is slowly building its women's division. The company could look to make it even stronger by signing a few new faces to the company.

WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper’s daughter Teal Piper made her wrestling debut in August 2019 at All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) All Out event. She competed in the Casino Battle Royale match.

Teal is now working with Women of Wrestling. She has spoken about how she jumped at the opportunity to appear on AEW:

"Well, it just happened. I was looking at what opportunities were out there and what would work best for my life and my family and who would take me (laughs) and I had been talking with them. I've always been a fan of the Rhodes family and I think Cody is a brilliant guy and it's a very exciting time for wrestling. There are just so many good alternatives to watch to WWE as well as their company. It's just a very exciting time. When I spoke with them and they were interested in working with me, the way I was raised is, you don't turn down opportunities like that, you just don't do it. You go, 'Yes.' I was like, 'Absolutely, I'll do it,'" Piper said

If the right opportunity comes along, Teal Piper could end up signing with AEW along with her partner Deimos (Michael Anderson).

#1. Former WWE Superstar Mike Rotunda’s son Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt could join AEW

AEW has kept a close eye on some of the biggest names in WWE. Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt has one of the most creative minds in the ring. However, WWE made a shocking decision to release him in July 2021.

He’s the son of former WWE Tag Team Champion Mike Rotunda. Wyatt will be free to sign with another promotion as soon as his non-compete clause comes to an end.

In an appearance on WFAN's Moose & Maggie Show, Tony Khan was asked about Bray Wyatt potentially joining his company. Khan stated that he hasn’t spoken to the former WWE Champion but was not ruling anything out:

"He’s a great wrestler, and I have to be honest, we haven’t talked at all. I’ve known him in personal life, but in reality, we haven’t talked. But you never know," said Tony Khan.

Cody Rhodes has also spoken about how Wyatt could fit into AEW more easily if he wanted to join the company.

"The Rotunda family and the Rhodes family certainly go way back. I can't comment on if I see a spot for him. But I can tell you [he's] an incredibly creative individual and an incredibly creative man. ...I can't comment on if he fits in with us, but I can say if he has an ounce of passion for this, that guy can fit in anywhere because he's a very special, special talent," Cody said.

AEW could be playing it cool to keep the big signing under wraps. Bringing Bray Wyatt to AEW could prove to be a great business decision for Khan and Co.
