There’s also nothing that strictly forbids AEW and WWE from sharing talent. I mean, obviously their contracts prevent them from doing it without their company’s permission, and it would be highly unusual, but if Triple H and Nick Khan really want to use, say, Daniel Bryan — there’s no reason they can’t go to TK and get him to sign off on Danielson being able to work certain WWE dates/angles. We did see Jericho, Big Show and Bryan in those John Cena clips a few weeks ago. It’d be just like that but with live promos and/or wrestling.
It’d save both companies money. They could pay Bryan $200k for a select amount of dates per year, as opposed to millions to be exclusive. If WWE were willing to lend guys like Edge, AJ and Finn Balor to AEW, that saves them too. It’d be good PR for both companies to play nice — especially from WWE’s end.
If MJF shows up in the front row of a Monday Night Raw, I wouldn’t take it to mean he’s definitely left AEW and has signed a WWE deal.
