Released AEW star seemingly confirms talks with WWE
A released AEW personality has seemingly confirmed having had talks with WWE in a social media post. The individual in question is none other than Jose the Assistant.
Jose started appearing in the Tony Khan-led promotion in 2021, and formerly served as a manager to current WWE Superstar Andrade El Idolo during the latter's stint in AEW. He would eventually be tasked with managing the members of La Faccion Ingobernable, a hard-hitting and violent faction comprised of RUSH, Dralistico and Preston Vance.
Jose the Assistant was released by All Elite Wrestling several months ago. He has been active quite regularly on social media since then, where he frequently shares his thoughts and goals regarding his future in pro-wrestling. Recently on X/Twitter, a fan asked Jose if he had had conversations with any wrestling promoters with respect to his career, referencing WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H with some wordplay. The former AEW figure responded in the affirmative, evidently suggesting that he has engaged in talks with the sports entertainment juggernaut.
"Of course," wrote Jose.
