WWE recently announced that AEW Superstar Chris Jericho will appear on WWE’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast hosted by WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin. This is a big shocking news for fans and there is a wide range of speculation that regarding the AEW stars possibly jumping to WWE.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed about the contract situation of AEW stars and their future. He stated that we could witness the talent go back and forth between WWE and AEW, but it would likely happen from next years as many AEW Superstars contract set to expire in 2022.
“Some will (go back and forth). People are going to go, so far it’s been; I mean, I guess it’s all been in one direction, right? No one from AEW that was any good wasn’t signed for multiple years, so no one is going to be due until probably late 2022.”

Dave Meltzer also noted that he wasn’t sure about top AEW executives would consider moving to WWE but we didn’t know people mind at that time. He also said that some of them may get the bug deals from Vince McMahon but it all depends upon when the time comes.
“At that point, there could be some movement. I don’t know about the top executive guys, you know, I don’t see them going, but you never know. You never know where people’s minds are and things like that. As far as other guys they are going to get, some of those guys are going to get real big offers. But you know, Tony may keep them, and you know, I mean, it’s going to be a story when the time comes, and there are going to be guys, whether Andrade is the next one, but there will be guys that WWE deals come up and they go.” (H/T: SK Wrestling)
