8 AEW Wrestlers Who Could Follow Cody Rhodes To WWE
2. The Acclaimed - Likelihood: 45%
When Cody Rhodes decided to take a sledgehammer to a literal throne and even more recently slammed WWE's penchant for renaming their superstars, it felt like a trip back into said Sports Entertainment monster was about as far away from a reality as humanly possible. But, here we are...
Which brings your writer to the prospect of two of the most vibrant talents on AEW's current roster jumping ship in the coming years, with The Acclaimed's Anthony Bowens and Max Caster's AEW deals reportedly coming to an end in 2025.
Should the loudmouth, close-to-the-bone duo reach the end of that deal without agreeing on new terms with Tony Khan, the fact Caster in particular has never been one to shy away from a few digs at WWE's expense likely won't stop Vince and his pals from seeing the value in the marketable and unquestionably fresh pair.
As a lot will no doubt change between now and then, though, it's likely wise to simply file this one under "interesting possibility" than "out-and-out guarantee" at this point. But you definitely wouldn't bet against The Acclaimed arriving on WWE shores mid-way through the 2020's.
