New AEW Signings Imminent?
There's also news on Chris Jericho's deal...
Dave Meltzer reported a number of items concerning the future of All Elite Wrestling's roster on his Wrestling Observer Radio show, and the newsletter guru also discussed Chris Jericho's agreement too.
According to Dave, Jericho will likely continue to work in New Japan; the undoubted marquee signing of AEW's first roster reveal reportedly plans to wrestle Hiroshi Tanahashi at some point, and Meltzer guesses that could only happen in Japan.
In other NJPW/AEW news, it looks like Trent Beretta and Chuck Taylor (collectively known as The Best Friends) are set to leave Japan and sign deals with All Elite. If they do, they'll join Lucha Underground star and current AAA Cruiserweight Champion Sammy Guevara and female star Kylie Rae, who was trained by Booker T. Both are also rumoured as potential signees for the upstart promotion.
The Best Friends, who have also worked in PWG and ROH, would be a good get for All Elite. Right now, SoCal Uncensored are the only true tag-team on AEW's books, so it's smart to try and pad that out with some talent who probably aren't on WWE's radar.
