Released WWE stars give a huge update on possibly joining AEW

A former WWE and AEW tag team duo recently appeared on Fightful with Sean Ross Sapp and gave an update that may intrigue wrestling fans.

Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson, collectively known as the Good Brothers, addressed their future during the interview, stating that they see a return to the Jacksonville-based promotion or TNA as a real possibility and confirmed that conversations are ongoing. The Good Brothers, who were released by WWE in February, are currently scheduled for a tag match with two of AEW's Executive Vice Presidents, further showcasing their current connection to the Tony Khan-led promotion.

The duo also stressed that their priority was to return to New Japan Pro Wrestling first, and now that they’ve done that, they said “the book is open” for what comes next.

"I mean we're an open book and we have good relationships in both places but we wanted to be in New Japan first we wanted to come here we wanted to do that and then uh you know the book is open and uh you know like like we've told you many times over many years there's a lot of conversations going on behind closed doors so we'll see where it goes", said Gallows [ 21:05 - 21:28 ]

The Good brothers have held tag titles across multiple major promotions, but never in Tony Khan's promotion. A return could set the stage for a strong run with the titles.
