Saraya and 4 stars who could quietly leave AEW after All In 2024
AEW is all set for the second annual edition of All In London. The event is days away and matches are still being added to the card. Bryan Danielson and Swerve Strickland will main-event the show with the AEW World Championship on the line. Also, MJF vs. Will Ospreay, Mercedes Mone vs. Britt Baker, Jack Perry vs. Darby Allin, and many other massive matches are announced for the show.
While many stars are part of the show, a few prominent wrestlers from the locker room aren't and will be probably sitting on the sidelines for the event. Also, many wrestlers' contracts are expiring this year. While several of them have already been re-signed, many of them are yet to agree to new deals. Moreover, not every star is aiming to stay with the promotion as they would like to explore more options.
WWE has been largely active in the free agency market this year and acquired former AEW stars Ethan Page and Shawn Spears. They also signed Stephanie Vaquer, who made her AEW debut in June 2024.
Let's take a look at some of the stars who could leave the Jacksonville-based promotion and join WWE after All In London this year.
#5. Britt Baker
D.M.D is set to face Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Wembley Stadium this Sunday. The returning Britt Baker confronted Mercedes at the Forbidden Door. However, fans aren't talking about their feud as Britt was making headlines due to her recently being suspended. She was allegedly suspended due to a heated argument with MJF a few weeks ago.
Although she returned to the company last week, Britt's reputation was somewhat labeled as a troublemaker by many. She could leave the promotion after potentially losing to Mercedes Mone to pursue her career in WWE.
#4. Bryan Danielson
The American Dragon had already announced he was going to retire from the promotion in 2024. However, he may have to retire earlier than he had planned as Bryan Danielson has put his career on the line at All In against the reigning AEW World Champion in their upcoming match. Also, he recently disclosed that his contract has already expired with the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Bryan Danielson could lose at Wembley Stadium and bid farewell to the company as stipulated. However, WWE would happily invite him to work with them, whether it be in-ring or backstage responsibility, given his tremendous experience, he would be a huge asset.
#3 and #2. Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix
The Lucha Bros are reportedly exiting the Tony Khan-led promotion after their contract expires as they are headed to WWE. It is also known that Penta's contract ends somewhere in September this year. Also, Rey's deal could be extended due to injury time.
The duo could wrestle at All In before departing the Tony Khan-based promotion by inserting themselves in the Trios World Championship ladder match. While three competitors House of Black, Patriarchy, and Bullet Club Gold are already on the card, one team is yet to be decided. Pac could accompany the Lucha Bros and could leave the promotion then.
#1. Could Saraya leave AEW if she didn't get a match at All In?
The Norfolk Doll has been demanding AEW to give her a match at Wembley Stadium. She became the AEW Women's World Champion during last year's All In in her home country. However this year, the star has not found an opponent for the show as of yet. She will have one more shot for a chance to wrestle at All In as she will face Toni Storm on the upcoming edition of Dynamite.
A recent report claimed that Saraya's contract is set to expire soon. She could be upset about not getting a match on AEW's biggest event and in her home country, and could end ties with the promotion to jump ship to WWE.
