Tony Khan Loses Another Card to WWE as 29-Year-Old Former Talent Reportedly Signs With the Stamford-Based Company

WWE has lost a number of its wrestlers to AEW. The case can also be flipped the other way around as AEW wrestlers have also left the company to become a part of WWE. And now it looks like Tony Khan‘s promotion might be losing one more wrestler to the Stamford-based company. As days go by, more and more reports start coming in about Brian Pillman‘s son making his WWE debut.

Following his father’s footsteps, Brian Pillman Jr. is also reported to have joined WWE’s side. Not much about his appearance is yet confirmed, because how the reports are mostly ‘insider reports’. However, PW Insider has got some key pieces of information that point directly toward his arrival.

Is WWE about to bag yet another star from AEW?

Having Cody Rhodes rejoin WWE again was a decision that benefitted the promotion in many ways. Now, they might have their eyes set on Pillman Jr. In fact, if ‘PW Insider‘s reports are accurate, the wrestler might already have signed with the NXT brand. Fans saw the wrestler displaying his talent in an AEW taping back in December 2022. His contract with Tony Khan has expired only for him to start a career with WWE.

Reports suggest that after his Orlando tryout last month, the ex-AEW star is being considered for ‘bigger battlefields’. In fact, if these reports are to be believed, the wrestler has already signed with WWE to debut in NXT. However, leaks also suggest that the management is not in a hurry to have Pillman Jr. debut yet. So, it might take a good while before WWE fans get to see him.

Even though Khan is appearing to lose a card from his deck, he might even get a bigger one in return. Rumors suggest that AEW’s CEO is in talks with a seven-time world champion who once served WWE.

Could the table between WWE and AEW flip?

Although there have been a number of rumors regarding a few wrestlers jumping ships from WWE to AEW, Sasha Banks‘ case is a bit different. Banks left WWE over a year ago. Even though now she appears as Mercedes Mone in NJPW, she didn’t hold herself back from appearing at AEW ‘All In’. While this didn’t confirm anything regarding a AEW deal, it surely sparked a lot of rumors about her potential appearance in the promotion down the line.
