All 6 former WWE Superstars who have signed with AEW (so far)

#5 Tye Dillinger (Shawn Spears)

Tye Dillinger (or now known as Shawn Spear) had such a great run on WWE's NXT that it almost guaranteed him to turn into a big Superstar someday in WWE.

However, following his call-up on the main roster, Dillinger spent most of the time sitting on the sidelines due to a lack of plans for him.

Realizing WWE wasn't using him to his full potential, earlier this year, Dillinger decided to ask for his release from WWE, which the company granted.

A few months after his departure from WWE, Tye Dillinger made a surprising appearance at AEW's Double or Nothing PPV, where he participated in its Casino Battle Royal but unfortunately came short.

A few weeks after his appearance, Tye Dillinger confirmed that going forward he would be making appearances on a regular basis in AEW as he has signed a contract with the company as a full-time Superstar.
