3 current AEW stars who could be WrestleMania headliners in the future
AEW has one of the best rosters in the professional wrestling industry, possessing world-class talent. Tony Khan has successfully cultivated many stars in the promotion and brought in popular indie acts to wow their fans.
However, we've recently been seeing a trend of All Elite Wrestling stars switching sides over to WWE. Former AEW talents such as Penta and Jade Cargill are some examples of stars who transitioned to WWE and are now set to compete on the main WrestleMania 41 card.
#3. Former AEW World Champion MJF
MJF has been one of the best and most consistent acts in All Elite Wrestling ever since its inception in 2019. The Wolf of Wrestling has often told everyone that he's better than them and has backed it up as well.
However, he has made it no secret as well at times that he would switch sides to WWE if the money is better there. MJF has even pushed the two promotions to have a bidding war for him, and we're quite sure that Triple H and Nick Khan would be ecstatic to have a talent like him amongst their ranks.
Now, even though MJF has a few years ahead of him competing in All Elite Wrestling, once his contract expires, perhaps he could entertain seriously switching over to WWE. We're also quite sure that a talent such as him would easily earn himself a prominent headlining spot, if not the main event, at a future WrestleMania.
#2. Mariah May
Mariah May is one of the most famous examples of AEW creating a huge star with successful storytelling. The Glamour is credited with making one of the best storylines in modern wrestling through her epic feud with Toni Storm.
She has been the talk of the town in the professional wrestling world lately. Rumors of her leaving AEW to join WWE have started swirling, with her contract reportedly set to expire this summer. It was reported recently that she had told the promotion that she wouldn't resign right before Revolution 2025.
We could see The Glamour having successful feuds against many stars from WWE's roster, such as Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, and Rhea Ripley. She could land on the WrestleMania card with any of these stars.
#1. Jay White
Jay White is one of the most popular stars in professional wrestling. It was rumored at one time that he could be headed to WWE, but he ultimately chose to sign with AEW.
However, that window isn't closed yet, and a talent such as Jay White, who's not only amazing in the ring but has proved himself to be an outstanding heel, could deliver in the Stamford-based promotion. The Switchblade could create magic in the ring against Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, AJ Styles, and more.
We even see him being successful enough to be a main event act and to challenge for a world title at a future WrestleMania if he ever leaves AEW.
