It is common for wrestlers to jump ships after their existing contract with a particular wrestling promotion runs out. It used to happen a lot during the Monday night wars in the 1990s. The big names from the WWE were constantly shifting to WCW due to the downfall in ratings. Since the inception of AEW in 2019, another war broke out and the released wrestlers from WWE resumed their wrestling careers by signing with AEW. AEW also captured big names from the WWE signings like Bryan Danielson during the pandemic era.

However, in July 2022, Triple H took over the creative control of the WWE. Following Hunter’s takeover, many wrestlers in different promotions were reportedly regretting leaving the WWE and wanted to come back. Last year, many big names who were released from the WWE, made their returns by signing a brand-new contract. The names include Braun Strowman, The Good Brothers, Johnny Gargano, Karrion Kross and Bray Wyatt.

Nonetheless, according to a recent report, WWE is looking forward to signing more big free agents by 2024. The report stated that WWE are actively keeping an eye on the contracts of big names in other promotions whose contracts are set to expire by next year. Reportedly, WWE is waiting for the free agency of the names on their target.

Moreover, WWE is reportedly keeping their focus only on the contracts that are set to expire by 2024. The biggest wrestling promotion is also keen on signing the biggest names possible. It remains to be seen which big WWE signings are on their way with all the circulating rumors.
