Details of an out-of-contract former WWE Champion reaching out to Tony Khan for an AEW deal

AEW President Tony Khan recently spoke about signing a former WWE Champion and revealed when the negotiations officially began.

The star in question is none other than Adam Copeland, who made his AEW debut at Wrestle Dream in a shocking fashion. He came to the aid of The Icon Sting and Darby Allin against his best friend Christian Cage and Cage's proteges Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus.

In an interview with Maggie & Perloff, Khan revealed when Adam Copeland reached out to him for his arrival in All Elite Wrestling:

"Not long after AEW Grand Slam, we had Adam Copeland reach out, he was out of contract. He is one of the most popular and one of the most successful wrestlers of all time. To have Adam Copeland in AEW is a huge deal for us," H/T:[Fightful]
