Hogan would be the one who would be most likely to want to do it, but I can't see them reaching out to him. Hogan probably already sent one 5 E-mails, One to Khan,one to Cody,one for each of the bucks and one to Kenny offering to appear on a PPV,brother jack! Dude, AEW was HIS idea, brother! In fact when he was touring with Metallica, Jack, Hulk wrote notes for what would be a great new wrestling federation to compete with Vince, brah. Only now is he sharing them with Cody. Anyway as Scott Keith said, WWE probably has Cena tied until 75 years after his death, so I doubt that. Rock is too busy, plus his family ties would make him a lifer too. Austin maybe...but he does have a show on USA coming. Then again people can freely go from being on Network specials to AEW, sooooooo…. Hogan probably appreciates that he got WWE to forgive him. AEW needs to not obsess on getting WWE'ers or people known for being one-time stars there. Maybe people who were misused/released, but only the ones with star potential, not EVERY SINGLE PERSON WWE drops. Otherwise, if they obsess on WWE in any way, eventually they become TNA.

Austin seems like only a matter of time. Rock, no. Cena, I see happening just because he wants to amuse himself. Hogan, no.

Imagine how jarring it would be seeing Stone Cold without his signature music.
I mean anyone could put glass breaking in front of some rock music, but nothing will ever come close to the way Jim Johnston did it(IIRC he added an explosion and a car wreck noise to the glass)

Not really a Disturbed fan but that song is a jam.

I think Rock would give them a shout-out like he would do with ROH. Plus he's friends with Jericho.

Cena, ehh. Maybe. He seems too loyal to me but never say never.
Rock, money talks, he might be loyal to Vince but he's buds with Jericho so maybe.
Hogan, money talks again but also AEW is definitely styling itself as a much more progressive-fanbase-oriented product, which doesn't gel with Hogan. He'd be a bad idea for that alone, regardless of how utterly stale and played out he is.
Austin feels like a given and just a question of when and also what. He's said for years he could do a couple more matches...would AEW call his bluff?

Austin I could definitely see, even if he just makes an appearance like Bret's at DON.
Hogan will probably try.
Rock and Cena? No way.

I can see the Rock doing it, dude is on f*** you time with the WWE, he doesn’t need them in the slightest, I can see him showing up to promo battle someone while hyping a movie. It’s not like Vince will get mad at him they’ll just suck him off harder the next time that he shows up on Raw,
Hogan will do anything for money at this point, they’d be wise not to bring the crypt keeper in though, he’s not worth the Headache and he adds nothing to anything, Austin would probably do it, he doesn’t need the WWE either.
I’d put Cena as a long shot though.

Though Cody would probably shut it down.

I still think the way WWE had phased out Cena probably bothers him a bit. The dude breathes wrestling and I could see him being AEWs Hogan and jumping ship to do the fabled heel turn we've waited 15 years for.

Hogan would be willing to go on BTE tomorrow for the right price.
Rock would probably not, hes too busy and has family in WWE. If he ever even did an appearance it would mean something is very wrong in WWE.
Cena is probably the guy I could never imagine doing anything with AEW. He lives and breathes WWE.
Austin will eventually have AEW guys on his podcast which will be interesting. Will never enter an AEW ring though

Austin would, and might get asked.
Rock probably wouldn't, and probably wouldn't get asked.
Hogan would, and wouldn't get asked.
Cena wouldn't, and would get asked.

Did Austin ever use that H-Blockx "Hell Yeah" song? I don't remember ever hearing him come out to it on tv or a ppv.

Right now, the only one that I see remotely possible would be Hogan and that's hopefully VERY remote because if the drama had bring (plus, I'm not sure the WWE would be willing to lose him in case the Saudis want him to show up for another PPV, since he's from the era they seem to want...).
Once/if AEW gets stable TV and becomes a solid promotion that can challenge the WWE? Pretty sure Austin would, but not Rocky or Cena, I see them as a "lifers.

I can see Rock doing a cameo; he did Tweet a congratulation message to Jericho for the Double or Nothing sell out.

Hogan is a self admitted hooker that would do anything for money.
Austin and Rock are still loyal, thought they may give a shout out to AEW here and there.
Cena? f*** no.

Maybe I'm in the small minority here but John Cena vs Kenny Omega is a match I would love to see. You just suggested something that I didn’t know I wanted, but I REALLY want! Turn Cena heel because Mr. WWE would draw instant heat with an AEW crowd.
