Top free agent, 3-time Intercontinental Champion — 6 Stars Triple H could lure away from AEW to WWE this year

Triple H's reign as head of WWE creative has brought new life to the promotion. He has brought back some of the best qualities that the company had been praised for in the past. Wrestlers have taken note of this, and WWE now looks like the place to be for stars to live out their dreams.On the other side of the coin is Tony Khan's AEW. The young promotion attracted talent by placing itself as the alternative to Vince McMahon's stunted creativity. But with Paul Levesque now at the helm, more stars could follow Cody Rhodes' move to the world's largest promotion.Here are six stars Triple H could lure away from AEW this year.#6.

Taking The Elite out of All Elite WrestlingWrestlePurists@WrestlePurists“I think at this point anything new appeals to me. And challenges also always, always appealed to me”- Kenny Omega when asked if WWE appeals to him(via CBC)2540173“I think at this point anything new appeals to me. And challenges also always, always appealed to me”- Kenny Omega when asked if WWE appeals to him(via CBC) https://t.co/ezAyS0NbCUKenny Omega and The Young Bucks are some of AEW's biggest stars and founding fathers. The trio has made it to the top of the wrestling business and did not need WWE to get there. But with Cody Rhodes jumping ship, perhaps The American Nightmare showed The Elite that it is not all doom and gloom on the other side.After the Brawl Out fiasco last year, The Elite's status in AEW has been speculated on by fans and wrestling personalities. To add fuel to the fire, their contracts are set to expire this year. Omega and the Jacksons will no doubt be positioned as major stars should they decide to join Triple H's WWE. Only time will tell how this one will play out.
