AEW eyes WWE talent for huge All In 2026 debut
13 May
Summary
- AEW is looking to sign former WWE talent after their release.
- New Day and Kairi Sane are potential targets for AEW.
- Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley could also join AEW.

Several popular professional wrestlers recently released by WWE are now on the radar of AEW, with potential debuts being eyed for the company's major All In 2026 event. This includes the possibility of bringing in the tag team New Day, as numerous AEW roster members have reportedly advocated for their signing. Kairi Sane is another prominent name, with AEW potentially interested in her experience and past rivalries with AEW talent.
Additionally, the duo of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, who previously had a stint with WWE after their TNA contracts expired, are also being considered. While TNA has expressed openness to their return, AEW may present a compelling opportunity. The 90-day no-compete clauses for these released talents mean they will become available for negotiation in late July, setting the stage for potential acquisitions leading up to All In 2026.
