6 Current AEW Superstars who have been linked to WWE

#5 Hangman Page grew up dreaming of wrestling for WWE

Hangman Page is another current AEW star who's been linked with a WWE move. Ever since he returned to action on Dynamite's Second Anniversary Show and won the Casino Ladder match, Page feels like one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling. The audience is eager to see the culmination of his long-term storyline with Kenny Omega.

But before signing with AEW, Page considered joining WWE. During an interview with Brian Campbell on the State of Combat (h/t Wrestling Inc), he said that he dreamt of wrestling for WWE as a child. But the idea of contributing to the growth of a new company felt more fulfilling.

"I guess when I was a kid that was [what] you wanted to do—you wanted to grow up and be in the WWE because it's the biggest thing ever—but it just didn't feel right and didn't become a goal for me anymore.

"Knowing that I can be fulfilled creatively and can have a big place at the table and knowing that I can contribute to bettering wrestling, furthering wrestling and creating another option with all the friends I met along the way in wrestling, that was ultimately the biggest thing I can get out of all of this," said Page.
