As several AEW contracts near their expiration dates, WWE appears to be circling with growing interest—especially in a few standout names from the roster.
According to a new report from BodySlam.net, WWE has its sights set on Danhausen and the high-flying tag team Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen), whose AEW deals are reportedly coming to an end soon. The report suggests that things could move quickly, with one source noting that “movement could happen sooner rather than later.”
This lines up with earlier whispers that WWE had “preliminary interest” in Private Party, a team that has long been seen as having untapped potential in a larger spotlight. Danhausen, known for his bizarre charisma and cult following, could also bring a fresh flavor to WWE’s character-driven programming.
Beyond those three names, a handful of other AEW contracts are also approaching their expiration dates. Chris Jericho’s current deal is set to run out at the end of 2025, while Renee Paquette, Matt Menard, and Angelo Parker will reportedly be free agents come August.
Notably locked in, however, is Jon Moxley. The former WWE Champion—still one of AEW’s top stars—remains under contract through 2027 and is said to be among the company’s highest earners.
As free agency looms, the wrestling landscape could be in for another shake-up. AEW will be looking to retain key talent, while WWE seems poised to make strategic plays in a continually evolving talent war.
