On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez addressed rumors of whether Bray Wyatt will sign with AEW . Tony Khan recently said that he had not spoken to Wyatt about signing with AEW and Alvarez backed it up in his report.
After an 11-year tenure with WWE, the former Universal Champion was released from his contract on July 13, 2021. He is currently one of the hottest free agents in professional wrestling.
Speaking on Wyatt, Bryan Alvarez indicated that according to the people he has spoken to, at this point, there isn't a lot of interest in AEW signing Bray Wyatt. He added that Bray would probably ask for a significant amount of money, which could also be a factor considering the recent additions to the AEW roster.
I told you guys a long time ago, I don't think Bray Wyatt is going to AEW. I have talked to people about Bray and they impression that I was given was not a lot of interest and obviously he's going to be asking for a lot of money. Does that mean that Bray Wyatt is never going to go to AEW? Of course not. Perhaps he will go someday. There are all sorts of things that can happen in negotiations.
