At WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, Danhausen made his debut with the company as the man inside the mystery crate.
Equipped with brand new theme music and his own dancers, Danhausen showed just how well WWE can present someone making the jump from All Elite Wrestling.
With the likes of Royce Keys, Ricky Saints and Blake Monroe making their debuts in WWE over the last year, it would make sense to see other AEW stars make the jump in the coming months.
Here are eight more AEW stars to potentially join WWE after Danhausen’s debut.
8. Chris Jericho
Over the past year, Chris Jericho has been at the center of plenty of discussions concerning his future in pro wrestling.
With reports of his AEW contract set to expire, Jericho is someone who has garnered plenty of interest from WWE.
Considering his history in WWE and being seen as a legend, Jericho should get a grand return to the promotion if he decides to make this move.
As soon as he is available, many fans expect Jericho will be back to play a major role in WWE in what should be the final run of his illustrious career.

7. Anna Jay
While Chris Jericho has been off of television since April 2025, another AEW star has been absent as of late is Anna Jay.
Last seen on AEW TV back in November of last year, Jay is someone who has found herself in recent reports about her future in All Elite Wrestling.
With her contract set to expire this year, it should be interesting what Anna Jay’s next move in her young career will be.
Jay has the look and experience that should make her highly sought after by WWE with a role on NXT that would see her positioned as a future star for their women’s division.

6. Kamille
Signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2024, Kamille is someone who came in with plenty of hype and expectations.
Considering her size, look and past as a former NWA Women’s World Champion, Kamille felt like a star who could be better utilized on a major stage like AEW.
However, Kamille came in and was positioned as a bodyguard to Mercedes Monè before this alliance ended prematurely.
After being off AEW TV for over a year now, it feels like Kamille and the company should go their separate ways, leading to her signing with WWE where she might benefit from this move.

5. Keith Lee
Another AEW star who is in the midst of a lengthy absence from the company is Keith Lee.
Last seen on AEW programming back in December 2023, it has been well over two years since Keith Lee competed in the company.
“The Limitless One” was once viewed as a future world champion in both AEW and WWE, so fans should see him step back in the squared circle once more.
Lee cutting ties with AEW should lead to his return to WWE where he might be in line for a significant push considering Triple H is now in charge as the head of creative.

4. Wardlow
Back at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025, Wardlow made his return to the company after over a year away and joined the Don Callis Family.
However, the former three-time TNT Champion was quickly injured and has been sidelined from action ever since.
Wardlow is someone who should have been a top star for All Elite Wrestling, but he has experienced too many start-and-stop pushes during his six year run with the promotion.
Considering his look, size, power and resume, Wardlow would be a fit for the WWE roster where he could rise the ranks in a hurry.

3. Deonna Purrazzo
Deonna Purrazzo signed with All Elite Wrestling back in 2024 and looked to be positioned as a major star for the women’s division.
While she enjoyed notable feuds with Timeless Toni Storm and Thunder Rosa, Purrazzo found herself not being included on AEW TV consistently in 2025.
Now holding the ROH Women’s Pure Championship, “The Virtuosa” has expressed her displeasure with not being able to compete in the ring as much as she would like.
Purrazzo returning to WWE might help her to step into the squared circle on a more consistent basis and potentially be in line to showcase her exceptional in-ring ability again.

2. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
Like many of the other stars on this list, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is yet another AEW talent who has been off of television for well over a year now.
The former AEW Women’s World Champion was once one of the biggest homegrown stars in the company’s history.
Baker making a return has long been teased and speculated, but she might be better off making the move from AEW to WWE.
With her experience as a top star in AEW, WWE would surely roll out the red carpet for Baker to become a featured act in the company moving forward.

1. Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen)
On the February 11 edition of AEW Dynamite, Private Party made their return to the company for the first time in a year.
However, there were recent reports and rumors that Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen’s contracts were set to expire in 2026.
The former AEW World Tag Team Champions have long been viewed as the future of tag team wrestling and might need to make a major change in their careers.
Private Party jumping to WWE would create some tantalizing matchups with the likes of The Usos, Street Profits and The Motor City Machine Guns that would put a major spotlight on the tag team scene once again.
