Would be awesome if TK is just doing a mass release of malcontents.

Get them out of AEW, let them go wherever they want, call WWE’s bluff and see how serious they really are about bringing all these people in they are interested in.

Either they go un-signed by WWE, their WWE signing is delayed, WWE signs them and sits them in catering since WrestleMania plans are likely mostly all sit in place at this point, WWE signs them and actually figures out a way to work them in ASAP, or they get sent to NXT.

Ricky Starks is probably going to run into the same situations he did in AEW. The honeymoon phase with Penta is over after 5 weeks where he's doing Main Event already. I'm not sure there will be such an instant :gladbron: for Starks that Penta gets with the style and gimmick even though I certainly believe Starks is a much better talent on just about every level. Have a feeling he's going to have a pretty similar run in the WWE system and it won't be too long until he's frustrated about mid card feuds and dropping IC/US back and forth to someone for 3 years.

You make it seem like the WWE has this long list of people they want from AEW :mjlol:. Only a few names have been linked to the WWE, the rest is just Meltzer throwing out random theories like he always does.

They’ve signed

Cody Rhodes
CM Punk
Jade Cargill
Penta
Shawn Spears
Andrade
Brian Pillman Jr
Ethan Page
William Regal
Stephanie Vaquer (she was technically CMLL but it wasn’t a coincidence she got signed after that Mercedes match)

That’s a large percentage of people WWE has signed from AEW, especially considering AEW doesn’t release that many people.

WWE pretty much signs any half decent talent that leaves AEW.

The only notable exceptions would be Kazarian and Awesome Kong, but they were well into their 40s and pushing 50s now and really was no point in WWE bringing them in at their ages and lack of popularity, plus Kazarian really just wanted to go back to TNA.

Then there is Mike Santana, who I could definitely see ending up in WWE when he’s done with TNA.

Everyone else? Worthless and/or a complete piece of shyt.

The bolded were gonna do well regardless, Page is the only success story while time needs to be given to Penta, Jade, and Pillman.

Starks/Melo feud for the IC/US belt would be legendary

Most WWE fans outside of the internet even know who Starks and Penta are if we keeping it real.
