Judging by the times we are in today, the fans are divided on their wrestling and entertainment opinions, with WWE's current state being a regular debate on social media.
While the main roster has constantly presented stale finishes, NXT has been a platform where the performers and the product really gets the respect it deserves.
Since WWE has always ruled the territory of professional wrestling, the inception of All Elite Wrestling could coerce them to have a good introspection at the way they are dealing with sports entertainment.
With fans monitoring Kenny Omega's situation, there's a genuine possibility that marquee signings like the Cleaner could make things more troublesome for WWE.
Despite the fact that Vince McMahon is the man who rules the business, his ideas have really not connected with the audience, and WWE could be in for a crisis situation.
Many talents on the main roster do feel dejected about the situation, and might make a sensational transition to Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks' AEW, which is all about changing the wrestling world.
Considering Chris Jericho shocked the world and signed a contract with AEW, who could be next in line to make such a sensational move? Lets find out.
Here are the 5 biggest marquee signings WWE would hope AEW doesn't make.
#1 CM Punk
If you look at a superstar who has had his share of problems with WWE in the past and still continues to stay away from the business, you remember CM Punk.
The Cult of Personality is widely respected as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of this generation, if not the greatest, who not only played a pivotal role in changing the complexion of the business, but also became the catalyst of that change.
Punk made a solid transition when he announced that he would join UFC after he left WWE on very unfortunate terms. However, the former WWE Champion didn't really make the most of his opportunities, and holds a 2-0 loss record in UFC.
While many fans have openly stated their disbelief in Punk coming back to wrestle for AEW, the Best in the World has never denied the fact that he won't be interested in coming back.
In a popular interview with Ariel Helwani, Punk humbly replied that he never received any professional offer to compete at All In from Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.
Considering that the Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes have been very familiar with Punk, this could be an ultimate opportunity for the Second City Saint to return and change the game.
Since Punk always held the belief of changing things for the better, professional wrestling could really propel to unimaginable heights if he signs for AEW.
#2 Pentagon Jr.
Another superstar who is very high on AEW's wish-list is Pentagon Jr. The Mexican possesses all the credentials to be recognised as a top star in the world of professional wrestling.
With rumours of the Lucha Bros moving away from Impact Wrestling, Pentagon Jr. and Fenix's inclusion to the mix could provide a massive boost to All Elite Wrestling.
While the fans have remained mum about the situation, there's a genuine possibility that the Mexican's signing would eventually hurt the WWE.
Considering that they were rumored to bring the Dark Dragon to WWE, his involvement at All In was a startling sign that he would join forces with the Elite.
There's no denying that WWE is in a difficult spot, considering how terrible their booking has become, but their negligence could cost them big, as many top stars could be leaving the company very soon.
With so many big names working under one roof where storytelling and a genuine blend of wrestling and entertainment is guaranteed, Penta's signing could prove to be catastrophic for the WWE.
#3 Kenny Omega
Widely hailed as one of the biggest things in professional wrestling today, Kenny Omega's decision to join hands with All Elite Wrestling could make things really difficult for the WWE.
There's a genuine regard the fans have for whatever Vince McMahon has done to shake the very core of this business, but the chairman hasn't really managed to make wrestling relevant on Raw and SmackDown Live.
With the Cleaner becoming the talk of the town now, there are rumours that the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion might be joining forces with his best buddies in All Elite Wrestling.
Since Triple H and Vinnie Mac are a fan of what Omega brings to the table, his inclusion in AEW could really start a war between these two promotions.
While the fans are openly criticising the idea of Vince going to war against AEW, Omega's arrival to the mix could bring more attention and viewership to Elite Wrestling.
Dave Meltzer has stated that the company is doing whatever they can to coerce Kenny to make the transition to WWE, but if he doesn't, this could be the move that makes AEW stronger.
#4 Goldberg
Another superstar who has been in the news quite lately is none other than Goldberg. The Icon is now rumored to be in talks with All Elite Wrestling.
Moreover, the former Universal Champion made things more interesting when he followed the promotion's official page on Twitter; leading the fans to go berserk.
Considering that there could be interest that enlightens the Icon to return to the squared circle, a signing of this magnitude could prove harmful to Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.
With Goldberg embarrassing one of Vince's most trusted superstars in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, he still garners a lot of fan following all over the wrestling world.
While I genuinely believe that Goldberg should stay healthy and retired, associating himself in any form with All Elite Wrestling would only make things more difficult for WWE.
Since Chris Jericho and Billy Gunn have already made their directions clear, all eyes will be on Goldberg to check whether AEW really has what it takes to compete with Vince McMahon.
#5 Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
While a lot of fans would consider this move to be very unlikely, there's a genuine chance that the creative team of WWE coerces Owens and Zayn to think otherwise.
In a recent podcast with Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn discussed his mental state, and beautifully described his life outside of professional wrestling, which he apparently doesn't really miss.
Despite the fact that the company teased their in-ring returns, not giving them the push they deserve would eventually make them feel dejected about the situation, considering how talented they are.
While Kevin Owens has always been a red hot star in the WWE, 2018 was practically one of the worst years of his entire wrestling year, with the Prizefighter literally made to look like a joke by Braun Strowman.
Moreover, Strowman's dominance of Owens didn't really go anywhere, and didn't make the former Universal Champion look like a threat on Monday Night Raw.
Since Vince McMahon hasn't ever appreciated the idea of moving Sami Zayn into a headlining act, there's room for the former NXT Champion to look for life outside of WWE.
Considering the Young Bucks are really good friends with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, they could really ignite their love for wrestling again, and coerce them to join the other side of the tracks.
Despite the fact that the move looks unlikely at the moment, if WWE fails to push them with what they deserve, they might eventually look to join forces with All Elite Wrestling.
