WWE has their eye on so many people, and a few of them decided against joining the company. The rumor mill is churning at full-force at this point, because you never know who WWE will sign next.
PW Insider reported on November 6th that WWE is showing significant interest in Japanese star Giulia, widely regarded as one of the top performers in wrestling. They also stated that the situation is becoming quite serious, with expectations of her visiting the Performance Center later this month.
Sean Sapp confirmed behind Fightful’s paywall that WWE’s interest in Giulia is genuine, and according to one source we contacted, she is seen as a “priority acquisition.” Over the past few years, Giulia’s performances in Stardom have consistently received high praise.
It was also noted that AEW and Stardom had talks about talent crossing over. Sarray signed with Sukeban, which is a multi-year deal. That being said, WWE was interested in having her back.
In addition to WWE, All Elite Wrestling and Stardom had talks earlier in the year regarding what talent could appear in a crossover capacity. As we’d indicated then, AEW had clear interest in using her at some point, though we haven’t heard if it went as far as creative plans being developed.
It was also announced by Sukeban that Sareee (formerly known as Sarray) has signed a multi-year deal with the company. PWInsider accurately reported last week that Sareee was deep in negotiations with an American company that wasn’t WWE. However, several WWE sources had contacted us and indicated that they were interested in possibly bringing her back and had started working on it. That didn’t go far, as Sareee signed with Sukeban. Those same sources clarified that there was no offer on the table, and did not think that she’d want to relocate to the United States again.
It was also reported that one source noted to the outlet that, “There’s no ill will on our side. We didn’t think she’d end up back here, there were no creative plans set for her, and she wasn’t contacted. Her name was mentioned, and she was liked within the company, so there were some preliminary things discussed about trying to bring her back. This deal probably works out better for her.”
We will have to see who WWE is able to sign in the months to come. The WWE roster could look very different when everything is said and done. Triple H is also able to provide different talent with opportunities as well.
What’s your take on WWE signing so many stars right now? Will it help the company to have a larger roster? Let us know what you think about this in the comments section!
