8 AEW Wrestlers Who Could Follow Cody Rhodes To WWE

And with that Chris Jericho departure at some point down the line, you have to imagine the chances of a few of his current Inner Circle brethren following suit go up dramatically, too, right?

Now, it's not hard to see why many would likely throw Sammy Guevara into the mix as a name WWE would likely be falling over themselves to commit to a long-term deal should the current TNT Champion become available in the coming years. But with The Spanish God acting as one of AEW's apparent Four Pillars, don't expect TK to give him up so easily.

Jake Hager and Santana & Ortiz, however, all seem like stars who would happily follow Le Champion back to Vince McMahon's global powerhouse, with Jericho likely angling for his stablemates to join forces with him as they challenge the likes of The Bloodline for Friday Night dominance, for example.

The only thing that could stand in the way of a talent like the former Jack Swagger committing to a WWE deal any time soon, though, is the MMA star's career inside of the Bellator cage - as Vinnie Mac would likely struggle to see the benefit in allowing one of his talents to get beat up in a real fight in their spare time.
