WWE has the most talented and crowded roster in the world of pro wrestling. Regardless of how much exposure independent promotions are getting, there is no promotion even close to WWE in terms of financial might, worldwide exposure, and overall stability.

With so many new TV deals and the WWE Network thriving like never before, the company is in a stronger position than it ever has been. A strong presence in reality programming on the E network also gets the company tons of revenue. This is why the end game for a lot of pro wrestlers is landing a contract with WWE.

AEW has been getting a lot of attraction over the last couple of months, and it looks as though the company has the potential to challenge Vince's company. They have already signed former WWE stars in the form Chris Jericho as well as Neville.

With Dean Ambrose having already announced his exit from the company and AJ Styles' contract status with the company also up in the air, this is an uncertain time for Vince's company.

Here are 3 WWE wrestlers who may sign a contract with AEW.


#3 Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose will be leaving WWE after WrestleMania 35. His feud with EC3 will probably be his last with a loss at Mania. It's pretty much guaranteed that after leaving WWE, Ambrose will wrestle for AEW.

It just remains to be seen when he signs with AEW, but WWE could try to stop Ambrose from leaving the company by promising him a strong run as a heel, allowing him to play the character he sees fit, or just simply give him a push.

Ambrose has been loyal to WWE for years, and even though he had a run at the top, he has so much more to offer WWE, and letting him go so he can eventually join a rival promotion would be an extreme loss for WWE.

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor is the first ever Universal Champion but had to relinquish his title the next day due to injury. WWE seems to have lost their faith in the Demon King after his return from injury. Balor is one of the biggest victims of being stuck in the mid-card.

Last year Finn Balor was involved in a triple threat match for the IC title, but he failed to win. His match against Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble will mark the closest Balor will come to winning the Universal Title for a long time. The company stripped away everything that makes Finn Balor special, turning him into a generic babyface.

AEW could build their entire product around him. If Finn Balor signs a contract with AEW, he could be the face of the company and be the biggest star of All Elite Wrestling. If Vince can see it, then he should catapult Balor up the card to the main events.

#1 AJ Styles

AJ Styles' WWE contract is about to run out. This has been making news for weeks now. According to the man himself, he is yet to sign a new deal with the company, which means he could become a free agent in a few months, with nothing stopping him from joining AEW.

AJ Styles is the face of SmackDown and if WWE wants AJ in the company then they should promise Styles another historic run with the WWE title, perhaps starting at Elimination Chamber. The other thing Vince McMahon can do to keep AJ in the company is to move him to Raw so he can contend for the Universal title and become the face of Monday Night Raw.

AJ Styles is a big superstar, and Vince simply can't let him go to a rival promotion, as letting AJ go would be a huge loss for WWE.
