2. Incoming AEW Stars?

MJF tops the tree when fans ponder AEW > WWE leaps for 2024. His All Elite contract is still set to run out early in the year, and Friedman has been openly discussing how much he'd enjoy working for the E someday. He grew up watching that stuff, after all. Working WrestleMania would be a dream come true.

Triple H would almost certainly be interested himself. MJF has blossomed as one of Tony Khan's best homegrown talents since launch, and he's the reigning AEW World Champion at time of writing. There's every chance lil' Max takes his stellar mic skills to Raw/SmackDown and shows them off to a bigger audience.

Tony would have to pay through the nose to keep him.

There's something sexy about the thought of MJF becoming a free agent, then inking a deal with WWE and making a splash (Chris Jericho in 1999 style) on the flagship. Perhaps the most interesting decision will be whether he's heel or babyface in WWE.
