10 AEW Wrestlers Who WWE Will Never Sign

It's no secret to anyone that WWE has scouts watching shows from other promotions around the world, including AEW. In fact, a few months ago, there were reports that WWE was in talks with AEW talent, which even prompted Tony Khan to speak out on the matter.

10 Current AEW Wrestlers Who Will Be In WWE By 2025

Which AEW wrestler is likely to follow Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill to WWE before the year 2025?

This is not surprising, as there are several very talented wrestlers in AEW that WWE would love to have. However, there are also many AEW wrestlers that WWE would never hire, either because they are already old, the wrestler has no interest in leaving AEW, or simply because they are not talented enough to work for WWE.

10 WWE Will Never Sign Adam Page

Page Will Likely Stay In AEW For The Rest Of His Career

It looks like Adam Page will never work for WWE for several reasons. Hangman loves brutal and bloody matches, as he showed in his recent Texas Death match against Swerve Strickland. But in WWE, those matches have long been banned, and we rarely see blood on a WWE show. Besides, Page seems to be happy in AEW, where he has become one of the most beloved wrestlers among the fans. At first glance, Page doesn't seem to fit in with WWE's family-friendly programming.

9 Eddie Kingston Will Never Work For WWE

He Is Not The Type Of Wrestler That WWE Would Look For

Eddie Kingston is one of AEW's most beloved wrestlers, and that's precisely what led him to hold the ROH World Championship and the NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship simultaneously.

10 Backstage Stories About Eddie Kingston Fans Should Know About

It wasn’t an easy road for Eddie Kingston to become All Elite, and there are a number of notable backstage stories to prove it.

He's living the best moment of his career, but it's unlikely he'll go any further than that. That is, it will be hard to see him as AEW World Champion, and it will be even harder to see him compete in a promotion like WWE. Kingston is already 41 years old, and in theory his skills are not going to improve, so it would not be in WWE's best interest to sign him. Not to mention, he signed a four-year contract extension.

8 Darby Allin Doesn't Want To Go To WWE

WWE Hasn't Shown Interest In Darby Allin

Darby Allin is one of the so-called "pillars" of AEW, although he has not yet reached his full potential and has not become the top star as expected. He is still young, however, as he is 30 years old, so he still has time to develop his talent.

Darby Allin's Face Tattoo & 9 Other Wrestling Tattoos That Fans Didn't Like

Wrestlers getting tattoos is commonplace, but these designs were divisive to say the least and a lot of fans didn't like them.

At the moment, there is no report that WWE has any interest in training Allin, but even if there was interest, he said that he would never go to WWE because he is happy in AEW.

7 Orange Cassidy's Gimmick Wouldn't Work In WWE

Orange Cassidy Has Already Peaked

Orange Cassidy is one of the most charismatic wrestlers in the AEW right now. He has had several memorable moments in the company and has delivered some phenomenal matches, such as his match against Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door 2022, or his bout against Wheeler Yuta at the February 22, 2023, edition of Dynamite. However, Cassidy has already reached his peak, as he is 39 years old and is unlikely to get any better, and that is precisely why WWE will not sign him.

6 Mercedes Martinez Won't Go To WWE

It Is Too Late For Her To Go Back To WWE

Mercedes Martinez is already 43 years old, and while she can still wrestle, she is too old to go back to WWE. There are many talented young female wrestlers in the company who have bright futures, and there are also experienced wrestlers who still have gas left in the tank. That's why WWE doesn't need to sign Martinez, who doesn't have enough star power, either.

5 WWE Is Not Interested In Jay Lethal

Otherwise, WWE Would Have Signed Him Long Ago

Jay Lethal is one of the greatest wrestlers on the independent circuit, as he has had a successful career, going through TNA, ROH, and now he is in AEW. Despite his great moments, WWE never signed him, even when he was at his peak as a wrestler. So, if WWE hasn't signed him so far, maybe it means they will never sign him.

4 Lance Archer Is Too Old

Archer Doesn’t Fit In WWE

46	2020-present	64-21	None

WWE won't sign Lance Archer because it just wouldn't make sense. Archer is a hardcore wrestler, who shines mainly in brutal and bloody matches, but if you take that away, he's a mediocre worker. Plus, Archer is already 46 years old, so he's in the twilight of his career. With that said, it's safe to say that WWE will never hire him, at least that's what logic says.

3 Serpentico Will Never Work For WWE

He Is Not WWE Material

Serpentico, also known as Jon Cruz, fulfills his role as a jobber to perfection, as he takes bumps and makes his opponents look very good. But he's never been more than a jobber, he doesn't have the talent to be more than that, and his physique (5' 6" and 175 pounds) doesn't help him either, because he's not a credible wrestler. Besides, Serpentico is already 39 years old. So, by all accounts, Serpentico is not WWE material, so he will probably never work for WWE.

2 Red Velvet Will Never Compete In WWE

She Doesn’t Have What It Takes To Be In WWE

Age	AEW Tenure	AEW Win-Loss Record	Accolades in AEW

Truth be told, Red Velvet is one of the worst female wrestlers in AEW, and it's no secret to anyone that WWE's women's division is superior to AEW. Red Velvet might have the Cody Rhodes connection, but she simply isn't on WWE's level, and that's why the company won't sign her. WWE has plenty of talent for the present and future, and Red Velvet just doesn't have what it takes to compete with that talent.

1 WWE Will Never Sign Sammy Guevara

Guevara Is Not A Top Star

30	2019-present	71-47	3-time AEW TNT Champion

If WWE hires an AEW wrestler, it's because he's a top superstar, or because he has the potential to be one. But that's not the case with Sammy Guevara. At one point, Sammy was on a hot streak, stealing the show and gaining popularity, but that stage passed, and it became clear that he doesn't have the consistency to work at the highest level. Furthermore, his character is repetitive, and fans now consider him to be one of the least likable wrestlers in AEW. With that said, Guevara is unlikely to work for WWE.
