5 wrestling legends who have appeared in both WWE and AEW

#4 WWE Hall of Famer Greg 'The Hammer Valentine

The son of famed wrestler Johnny Valentine, the one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, successfully escaped his father's enormous shadow. The Hammer went on to win championships everywhere in the US and become an undoubted legend in the business.

Valentine's AEW appearance came under poetic circumstances. Mr. Brodie Lee and Cody Rhodes wrestled in a dog collar match for the TNT Championship, and Valentine, a competitor in the most well-known dog collar match in history, was invited to attend. The Hammer's presence increased the prestige of the match.

#3 WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff

Eric Bischoff's debut appearance on WWE Raw was outright startling. No one thought that the WCW kingpin would shake hands with his greatest enemy. Bischoff remained in WWE for quite some time and has appeared sporadically in recent years.

AEW announced Bischoff's appearance as part of his long-awaited return to TNT, where WCW once aired. In an amusing segment with Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy, Bischoff's presence intensified the atmosphere.

Bischoff later stated that Jericho, Tony Khan, and Cody Rhodes had reached out to him. Since then, He has appeared on AEW Dynamite on multiple occasions.
