7 AEW stars Triple H wanted to bring to WWE

#3 & #2. AEW stars FTR

FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) were also on Triple H's wishlist before joining AEW.

Wheeler and Harwood spent several years in WWE before the company released them in April 2020. During their time in Vince McMahon's company, the two wrestlers held the tag team titles of RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.

After deciding to leave WWE, Wheeler and Harwood received an offer from Triple H himself. The Game asked them to return and rejoin NXT.

"We talked to Hunter at length, there were offers on the table that were very tempting because we loved NXT and we loved our time there, but at the end of the day, we knew that our time there was done. We didn’t want to go back to the past – we’d done that. We wanted to come here [AEW]," Wheeler said.(H/T TalkSport).

FTR joined AEW just a month after leaving WWE. They debuted on the June 10, 2020, episode of Dynamite, defeating The Butcher and The Blade. After defeating Kenny Omega and Adam Page, they captured the AEW Tag Team Titles at All Out 2020.

Two months later, the team lost their titles to The Young Bucks at Full Gear. FTR are currently members of The Pinnacle on AEW.
