WWE certainly does not want their talents to have anything to do with AEW. It seems they are taking extra steps in order to make that happen.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about WWE’s new policy. The company wants to keep its Superstars away from AEW at all costs.
“There is an event called the Big Event in New York on Saturday and Matt Hardy was booked on the convention. Some WWE guys were booked as well. The convention guys were basically told you cannot book anyone from AEW. That’s one of the rules now that if you book a WWE guy anywhere you know baseball game, autograph signing, Wizard World — that nobody from AEW is allowed. That’s just their rule.”
Hardy was apparently removed from the event due to his affiliation with AEW and was replaced by Terry Funk. This happened despite Hardy not debuting on this week’s AEW Dynamite, perhaps as a way to not be removed from the event.
