10 Wrestlers Who Turned Down AEW

Having been named in the Speaking Out Movement last year, Marty Scurll currently finds himself as a free agent who the majority of wrestling promotions have minimal interest in.

Compare this to 2019, and at that point the Villain was likely the hottest free agent in the game, with WWE and AEW both having huge interest in the former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

With Bullet Club brethren Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, 'Hangman' Page and the Young Bucks in AEW, it seemed like a no-brainer that Scurll would land in Tony Khan's organisation when he finally made a decision on his future. Instead, it came a little out of left-field when he spurned the advances of both AEW and WWE to sign with Ring of Honor.

Of course, a major selling point of ROH was that Scurll took on the head booker role as part of his signing, plus the deal itself was said to be the very best contract offer in ROH history.

For AEW, hindsight would suggest they're likely happy that Marty turned them down in the end.
