Report: AEW Making Pitches For Top Free Agent Wrestler
AEW creative working on ideas for THIS big free agent name.
Dolph Ziggler has reportedly been the subject of multiple creative pitches within AEW, reports WrestlePurists.
The 43-year-old seemingly has fans in the Tony Khan-helmed promotion, as "many" people within the group are pushing for AEW to sign him. Now, pitches are being made - including one that'd see Ziggler (now competing as Nic Nemeth) work as one of CJ Perry's managerial clients.
There is currently no indication that negotiations between AEW and Nemeth have taken place. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion is still technically bound to the Stamford-based market leaders as part of his 90-day non-compete clause. Released on 21 September, he will be free to sign and appear for other wrestling promotions from 20 December onwards.
But while the former Zigger is yet to agree terms with AEW, ideas have been thrown around.
Nemeth was amongst a talented crop of WWE wrestlers released by the Endeavor-led group on 21 September, including Mustafa Ali and Shelton Benjamin. Alongside Ali, Nemeth's name has been one of the most commonly linked with AEW.
Currently, all Nemeth has announced, wrestling-wise, is a 20 January appearance for WWC, the Puerto Rico-based group co-owned by Carlos Colon.
