Drew and Taz must be up to something... Maybe they're making a new Scottish rice pudding.

He seems like such a WWE guy that it would be weird to see him elsewhere. At the same time, I am not sure he is worth 7 figures and give him a bus type money. If they are worried about AEW using him heavily to promote their overseas business, maybe they cave some. If he does come back, they need to split up the top belts and give him a reign again.

Drew wouldn't be any further up the card in AEW and way down the list of potential future world champions.
Don't really see the benefit for him, unless he just wants to wrestle at Wembley.

It could be an easier schedule. Drew has been a workhorse for them on the road over the years. A big name that makes most if not every town when healthy. I also think he could be a main eventer in AEW and a possible world champion.

Dude has fallen HARD over the past two years in WWE and his PPV record during that time period is absolutely wretched. Going to AEW could be exactly what he needs, because right now it looks like he isn't going to get back where he was in 2020.

I also think he could be a main eventer in AEW and a possible world champion. Fair point on the easier schedule. That's definitely true, and if he's been struggling with injuries too. Position on the card... I think the general opinion online is that he's liked but kinda boring. In short bursts people get behind him (his run to the title, Cardiff), but if you did a poll he'd be way down the list of who fans actually want to see have a decent run as champion. I think that'd be even more true in AEW, who have a smarkier fanbase and a logjam of guys in the upper midcard.

I don’t see how, if AEW gets Drew, they don’t push him as one of their absolute top guys. Maybe not the top guy but the 3-4 top. He’s got the recognition from WWE, his style could absolutely shine in AEW, plus on an aesthetic aspect alone, dude’s going to look in a league of his own compared to a lot of dudes.

If he were an option I could've absolutely seen them giving Drew the, "Hold the line while CM Punk CM Punks everything up," push Mox got last year.
Which hey, given the current way the winds are blowing they're going to need someone for that position again soon.

I still watch both companies so it isn't a "f*** WWE" thing, but the more I think about it the more I hope he ends up in AEW. There are so many guys I'd like to see him work with there like Darby, Powerhouse, Wardlow, Lance Archer, The House of Black guys... the list is almost endless.

Yeah definitely a lot of fresh opponents for Drew if he did leave. Could be exciting. It’s nice to have talent going back and forth.

It's been made apparent that if you have aspirations of being a world champion anytime soon that the WWE isn't the place to stay unless your name rhymes with Mormon Gains. You might as well just spend enough time to get that "Ex WWE Star" tag that gives you a leg up in most of the industry and then try the indy waters.

I spent awhile over the past few years thinking that Drew, Claudio, and Sheamus were the three main WWE guys who I'd like to see do a tour of Japan, or work in some other places stateside (which, granted, Drew already did not all that long ago). Basically, WWE's "big, ridiculously strong and hard hitting European goon division", with WALTER/GUNTHER being the new addition to that group.
