While nothing has been confirmed as of this writing, it certainly sounds as if Ross and Marshall Von Erich could well be on their way to either WWE or AEW.

Speaking on the debut edition of their Von Erichs Podcast (via F4WOnline), the Von Erich brothers revealed they've had talks with both WWE and AEW and that signing with a major promotion is "coming soon".

As Marshall Von Erich explained:

“Right now, we feel like we’re polished and ready and could go wrestle anywhere. I feel like it’s coming, it’s coming soon, and so this is like the calm before the storm. We’ve been in conversations with both companies and stuff, so we’re just seeing where it goes, but it feels like the calm before a storm because I’ve got a feeling it’s coming soon. It’s coming soon. I’d love to talk on it more but there’s some stuff I can’t really talk about yet."

During this podcast, Marshall also discussed how the two previously turned down the offer of a WWE tryout several years ago, noting how "we didn't feel like we were at our best yet" and wanting to improve their skills before approaching such an opportunity.

Of course, in more recent times, Ross and Marshall have made appearances for AEW and ROH, last competing under the Tony Khan banner back in February when they teamed with Dustin Rhodes to win a short six-man squash match on an episode of AEW Rampage.

The sons of the legendary Kevin Von Erich, Ross and Marshall made their in-ring debuts in 2012, almost immediately heading to Pro Wrestling NOAH to hone their craft. The brothers' biggest spotlight to date came upon landing in Major League Wrestling in 2019, with the Von Erichs defeating the Dynasty's MJF and Richard Holliday to embark on an impressive 438-day run as the company's Tag Team Champions.
