Elite Competition: The AEW and NXT Merger

[GUINNC]

The Story

With WWE losing money at a rapid rate, they made a decision to cut a mass number of superstars and eliminate it's NXT brand leaving many superstars in a limbo. A contract clause allowed many former NXT talent the option to head to RAW or Smackdown or...become an unrestricted free agent.

 

Just in time for this announcement, the remnants of the Bullet Club, now known as The Elite, were hard at work establishing what they would hope to become a new brand of pro wrestling. After multiple shows, the foundation was laid and the announcement came: All Elite Wrestling.

 

With Tony Khan on board with the finances, AEW was set to launch with a group of known stars, but would it be enough to land a TV deal? Khan made a phone call that would change everything as he would land a deal to acquire multiple superstars in the brand formerly known as NXT.

 

WWE had cut cost and still was the premiere show come January, but now, they would for the first time in a long time, face Elite Competition.
