WWE always look forward to tone down the competition in the market. But nowadays they had to digest their own medicine as the independent promotions are rising in a faster way. There are several such companies who are throwing major competitions to the biggest pro-wrestling company in the world. Now it looks like a new one in the market is trying to steal two big names under the WWE banner.
Chris Jericho received huge money for a WWE appearance
There are rumors going on that Chris Jericho and Jim Ross are on a joint venture to open such a promotion. Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, and other Elite members are also backing up these two to open the new company named All Elite Wrestling. They might have already filed to receive their own trademark as per the reports of WrestlingNews.co.
Chris Jericho did not have the most important match in WWE
Also, they have filed to get trademarks for a number of phrases. These include ALL OUT, AEW Double or Nothing, Double or Nothing, AEW, AEW All Out, and Tuesday Night Dynamite. Alongside the above names mentioned, Tony Khan, who is the son of Jacksonville Jaguars owner Tony Khan, is also a part of the project.
A special report from WrestleTalk confirmed that All Elite Wrestling LLC has approached two of the biggest superstars of the WWE. They have received new offers from the company. Furthermore, the source also confirmed that they have ‘provisionally accepted’ to join the company by April. It means that Wrestlemania might mark the end of their current contract.
Reports did not confirm the identities of the mentioned superstars. But it will be interesting to see whether they indeed leave the WWE to join the newly sculptured company. It would be a big news if the two names prefer a new banner going out of the safe territory of the WWE. This could also serve as a wake-up call for the WWE officials to maintain their roster in a proper way.
At this point, the deal stands in a ’50-50′ position for the aforementioned superstars. Rumors also have it that they could be a bigger attraction for All Elite Wrestling LLC. Hence, it would be the sole reason to land a lucrative TV deal in the future. But the ongoing speculations do suggest that the talent hunting process has already begun.
Sources tried reaching Chris Jericho for the confirmations of the upcoming promotion. He denied all such rumors predictably to stay out of any sort of controversies regarding All Elite Wrestling LLC. The listed address for this company is TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, which is Jacksonville Jaguars home. So there’s something indeed going on behind the scene.
