Cody Rhodes states that the talent with the WWE experience is great, but that you must meet their standards

All Elite Wrestling promises to introduce another form of Elite wrestling. This is very clearly stated in the name of the company. AEW could end up with more WWE stars, as Cody Rhodes admitted in The Ross Report, but that does not guarantee anything, as Chris Jericho has already said.

AEW put on some expectations excel at a higher level. Having the experience of the WWE is a good thing because it will attract more looks on the product, but it's not all that they are looking for. Rhodes. Some others maybe. This is not the same thing. Having this equity with WWE is wonderful, but you have to be able to reduce it and meet the standards that people have for their true bells competition. This number could increase. Boys and girls have the opportunity to exist to make more money here and there. Just to have options. If they can play, they will play. "

" But for the moment, recruitment is more about "freshmen". I want to create a new category of guys. I do not tell them they feel like they're settled and that's it. I want them to feel like they've been set up to win and succeed. At present, many faces have never been seen and people you will be surprised to see them.

There are some WWE Superstars who could do well in an environment like AEW. There is even more about the independents who could meet these expectations. We'll just have to see what works for those Superstars who are or might be leaving the WWE with the intention of talking to AEW.
