Former AEW stars might be on their way to WWE four months after their release. The Righteous debuted in All Elite Wrestling in 2023. While they made a notable impact on ROH and the Jacksonville-based promotion's tag team division, they never received a major spotlight. They were released from the company following their request in May 2025.

After Vincent and Dutch left, fans thought the two might team up with Karrion Kross in the sports entertainment juggernaut. Before their release, they hinted at aligning with Elias, but that also didn't materialize. A few months after their release, a major update was provided on the duo.

According to Fightful, Dutch and Vincent might be finishing their bookings on the independent circuit amid interest from the Stamford-based promotion.

WWE President Nick Khan predicted AEW stars coming to their territory

Over the past couple of years, the sports entertainment juggernaut has signed several former AEW stars. Mariah May, the Lucha Bros, Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, and Rusev are some of the names that switched companies.

While speaking on the Bill Simmons Podcast, Nick Khan said that many stars will sign with WWE once they are free from the Tony Khan-led promotion.

“In terms of the other wrestling promotional company, they have a lot of talented wrestlers. We’re happy about that. When contractually they are available to be talked to and have conversations with, assume a number of them will come over. And nothing but respect for the father who finances it and owns the Jaguars and all those other things," he said.

It will be interesting to see when the two stars will debut in WWE now that their signing is almost confirmed.
