3 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon will regret losing to AEW and 2 he doesn't care about

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks announced the inception of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in early 2019 and since then, the wrestling community has developed enormous expectations for this new promotion. AEW has already signed multiple wrestlers that once worked for WWE by presenting great deals to them.

In 3 weeks, AEW will host their first show Double or Nothing, and the match card is already stacked with great match-ups. Even though AEW isn’t the first wrestling promotion that has threatened WWE, it surely gives us a hope of something new. So far things have only looked good for AEW, but the real test will start when they get a television deal.

Chris Jericho has already revealed that AEW wants to take some wrestlers from WWE that are talented enough of getting a contract from them. They have already signed the likes of Chris Jericho and Pac, but which WWE Superstar will end up signing with AEW next? In this article, we will look at 3 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon can’t afford losing to AEW and two he may not worry about a lot.

#5 Regret losing to AEW: Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks is upset at WWE

When Sasha Banks and Bayley won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, things looked great for the duo until they lost their titles to The IIconics at WrestleMania. Since losing the championship belt, Sasha hasn’t appeared on WWE television, and according to rumors, she is upset at the creative team.

The Boss wanted to do much more with the Tag Team Titles, but WWE ruined their plans by handing the championships to Billy Kay and Peyton Royce. It’s been a month since Sasha’s loss at WrestleMania, and it seems like she has decided not to return to WWE again.

WWE is also trying their best to convince Sasha Banks to return to television soon, but The Boss hasn’t taken any action yet. One thing Vince McMahon could be worrying is that Sasha doesn’t leave his company for AEW, which has indirectly promised to take WWE out of business.

Now only time will tell if WWE and Banks are going to patch up or is she going to stick to her decision and leave the company at the end.

#4 Won't regret: The Revival

The Revival with Vince McMahon

The Revival asked for their WWE release in February, but reportedly, their request got rejected, and the company asked them to give three more months to make things work. Sometime later, The Revival became Raw Tag Team Champions, and it seemed like the WWE cares about them. However, their recent actions on Raw aren’t saying the same.

Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder have now become funny characters in WWE, and it seems like they won’t receive a proper treatment anytime soon. Their recent segments only strengthen my point, and if things are going to remain the same, then The Revival will most likely end up leaving WWE and return to the indies (or join AEW).

However, it doesn’t seem like Vince actually cares a lot about them because if he did then, The Revival would have been dominating the tag team division, but that isn’t the case.

#3 Regret losing to AEW: Brock Lesnar

There's no way Vince will let Lesnar leave

Brock Lesnar has retired from UFC since Dana White didn’t pay the money Lesnar asked him for. It’s been reported that he has also talked to Vince McMahon about his retirement at WrestleMania 36. The grand pay-per-view is a year away which means that Lesnar will likely continue taking bookings as much as he can.

Some reports also suggested that AEW is also trying to get Lesnar’s signature on their contract. It’s no doubt that Lesnar is WWE’s cornerstone, but it’s also true that The Beast only works for money. If AEW provides him with a better deal than Vince, then Lesnar will end up signing with them. However, what’s the possibility of this happening? While we don’t have any figures but observing the past, it’s closer to zero.

Vince has already invested millions of dollars in Lesnar, and he will never let him leave for any other wrestling promotion.

#2 Won't regret: Luke Harper

Luke Harper will work for WWE until next year

Luke Harper has probably made a huge mistake by asking for his release from WWE publicly. Harper lost his momentum since his former tag team partner Eric Rowan got injured. Both had a great reign with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, but an injury changed everything.

WWE didn’t have any plans to Harper, and it’s why they kept him off from television even after he recovered from a wrist injury. The former Intercontinental Champion then thought of leaving WWE and asked for his release publicly. The chairman of the board probably didn’t like this gesture, and it increased the length of Harper’s contract as it was frozen due to his injury.

As per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has no plans to use Harper on future events which indicate that Vince is punishing Harper for his actions by not using him actively. Most probably he won’t offer a new contract to Harper once his contract expires next year.

#1 Regret losing to AEW: Goldberg

Goldberg will return soon in WWE

Goldberg may not be an active WWE Superstar, but he is still a popular figure among wrestling fans. The former Universal Champion returned to in-ring action in 2016 where he got a squash victory against Lesnar. Soon he became Universal Champion but later dropped it to The Beast at WrestleMania 33.

Since then Goldberg hasn’t fought a single match, but now, WWE has officially announced his return at their next Saudi Arabia event. As of now, WWE hasn’t confirmed who will face Goldberg, but since many legends are returning, he has no shortage of opponents.

The former champion is also heavily rumoured to join the AEW roster soon, as he has only signed a one-off deal with WWE. However, we should not forget that Vince has already signed multiple Superstars under a legends contract without actually using them.

Since Goldberg is still a famous Superstar and can also wrestle, it wouldn’t be easy for AEW to sign him. Vince could offer a better deal to Goldberg so that he could not join AEW but only time will tell what will happen.
