WWE wants to use AEW wrestlers for their upcoming projects. No, it's not in a wrestling capacity or in some sort of forbidden door angle where an AEW talent comes on a WWE program or visa versa. Instead, WWE is looking to augment some of the non-scripted productions they are working on and would like AEW talents to help with those productions.

AEW President Tony Khan revealed during an appearance on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox that WWE reached out to him about potentially using AEW wrestlers for interviews on shows that might air on Peacock or the WWE Network. Khan said, “They were doing a lot of biographies and they wanted to use some of the people here and I think that’s the thing, it’s probably going to come out sooner or later in interviews, or they want to interview some of the people that wrestle here that used to wrestle there, and some people that have had a history in [promotions with] the other libraries that they own." He added that he was open to talking to WWE about it and noted WWE was very nice about it.

If this goes down, it wouldn't be the first time an AEW star has made their way back into WWE for something like this. Chris Jericho was a guest on the Broken Skull Sessions with Steve Austin in an interview that garnered a lot of attention because it was the first real crossover between the two promotions. Whether or not this becomes something Khan wants to do for free promotion for his company or is looking for a fee to have his wrestlers appear remains to be seen.

"We’ve heard from [WWE] a couple of other times," he noted, suggesting he's not fully committed to going down that path just yet.

Is WWE Open To Working With AEW?

Asking if WWE can use AEW talent on documentaries and biographies is one thing. That this could lead to the two promotions doing any sort of on-camera work during their weekly flagship shows is another. AEW has a policy where they don't mind wrestlers working with other promotions but WWE isn't just any other promotion. There would have to be long talks and agreements made before that ever became a reality.

That WWE has no issues with AEW stars appearing in their productions is a good start though.
