AEW Insiders Push to Sign The New Day After WWE Exit

Strong backing points to a likely move once their non-compete runs out.

Overview

  • AEW interest in signing Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, reported Wednesday by Fightful Select, drew overwhelming support from people inside the company.
  • The longtime WWE tag team left after talks about pay cuts and contract changes, and both sides agreed to part ways according to multiple reports.
  • A standard 90-day non-compete keeps them off other wrestling TV for a few months, which delays any on-air debut even if a deal is reached.
  • The duo have started booking fan events, including GalaxyCon in Oklahoma City on May 23–24, as they stay active during the non-compete.
  • Separate reporting says TKO’s Arizona partnership is expected to bring a future Royal Rumble to Phoenix, signaling more large-scale event deals on the calendar.
