Report: Recently Released AEW Name Spotted At WWE Performance Center

It emerged over the last week that Brian Pillman Jr had been let go from AEW following the expiration of his contract, ending a near four-year stay in the promotion. Per reports, he has wasted little time in looking ahead to find a new home. As reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Pillman was spotted at the WWE Performance Center.

Further information on this story was provided by Fightful Select, who indicated that WWE has interest in signing Pillman.

“We can confirm he was seen by numerous people there this week. When we asked WWE sources, they confirmed that as of now, Pillman had not been signed, but was working out at the facility. We’re told that what he’s doing resembles a bit of a “get to know you” meeting, and that WWE had immediate interest when he became available.We’re told that things regarding a lot of the people they bring in are being kept close to the vest, but that Pillman was in plain sight of many others at the PC.”

Pillman is still just 29 years old, making it unsurprising that WWE would be interested in someone of his talents given that he is available.
