WWE Rumor Roundup - Plan of Vince McMahon's in-ring return for WrestleMania match, AEW rejects former Tag Team Champion, RAW Superstar was on the 'list to be fired'- 14th December 2020 

#3. AEW reportedly rejected former WWE Tag Team Champion Fred Rosser

Fred Rosser, fka Darren Young, has done well for himself since leaving the WWE in 2017. The former Prime Time Player signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling in August 2020, and he has wrestled several matches on NJPW Strong. It's safe to say that Rosser has looked really impressive during his Japanese excursion. These days, former WWE Superstars can't run away from the AEW question, and Rosser has also been asked the same on several occasions.

Rosser revealed that he tried to get into AEW but was told 'no' by the promotion. Rosser explained that NJPW has always been his end goal. The former WWE Superstar ended the tweet with a dose of motivation.

I get asked a lot why not @AEW ? Well, I tried and I was told NOPE...NOT ☝🏼 but ✌🏼...besides AEW wasn't my end goal it's always been NJPW @njpw1972 🙏🏼 No matter what, don't ever get overwhelmed and decide to throw in the towel. I've still got a lot of work to do! #blockthehate

While AEW has brought in several former WWE talent, the company wasn't interested in getting Rosser on board. However, Rosser can be found on NJPW Strong if you're interested in seeing his evolution since leaving WWE.
