WWE veteran Maven wants to work with AEW

Maven paid a visit to AEW a few months ago and had some good things to say about the promotion. He also had a brief conversation with Tony Khan. He shared that the Jacksonville-based promotion is extremely positive behind the scenes.

While speaking with Aerial Helwani, the ex-WWE star revealed that he is open to working for the Tony Khan-led promotion if they reach out to him.

“Uh, working for them full-time—doing stuff like TV or commentary? None that went anywhere. This conversation was a one-off, just covering for them. Would I entertain it? Yes, absolutely. I’d definitely entertain any offer. Nobody. I don’t know why they haven’t reached out. But I would explore any options that came my way. I will always be an ambassador for the business," he said.

It will be interesting to see who else Tony Khan will sign this year.
