Oh wait but they might get Tye Dillinger and Mike Kanellis.

Here's the thing: this is WWE's world. Do you think Vince McMahon, who just spent $100 million on a football league, wouldn't drop $250 million to run these people off in a hurry? We don't even know if AEW wants to take on WWE or be the new Ring of Honor. They announced the company 17 days ago. I think it's ok to calm way, way down, no matter how much these "wrestling fans" hate WWE, for whatever reason.
What do you think of the report that WWE is telling independent talent they are interested in they will double any contract they are offered by other companies if they bring them proof of the deal?
