A little over a week ago, Steve Carrier of Ringside News, reported that WWE is in talks with AEW about an upcoming project. The upcoming project could be a storyline that commences at the Royal Rumble event. Of course, the fans started speculating. It was believed that the seeds will be planted at the Rumble and could conclude at the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania.
Despite all these talks surrounding the Royal Rumble event, people still wonder if the Door is still open. WWE is infamous for toying with the WWE Universe.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has given us a heads up about this. According to Meltzer, WWE currently has no plans to work with their top competitor at the moment. Meltzer is one of the most respected Wrestling Journalists, but as of late the information provided by him has not been completely accurate. With that being said, if Meltzer’s sources are legitimate then, we can assume that the talks between WWE and AEW did not go so well.
Maybe AEW is not allowed to walk through the ‘Forbidden Door’. Wrestlers from Impact Wrestling and other small promotions can be expected.
Who do you think will be the biggest surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble? Let us know in the comments below.
