It’s been days since WrestleTalk & Fightful confirmed that AEW CEO Tony Khan and former WWE name Shane McMahon had a private meeting.
Whether the meeting will result in an appearance in AEW for McMahon remains to be seen, but if hell does ‘freeze over’, what if he doesn’t come alone?
Here are seven WWE stars that Shane McMahon could bring with him into AEW.
7. Former WWE Star Dijak In AEW With Shane McMahon?
Already gone from WWE is Donovan Dijak, known in WWE as simply Dijak.
He’s already rebuilding his brand on several indie shows, and has shown an interest in working for AEW.
Dijak is an incredible talent ready to make waves in All Elite Wrestling – especially with his favorite foe Keith Lee on the roster as well.
Dijak seems like a perfect name to bring in as some form of enforcer or protector for a heel Shane McMahon in AEW.

6. Kiana James
Kiana James has yet to win a singles title in WWE despite being praised from all sides in and out of the company.
Since her call-up during the WWE Draft this year it has been extremely quiet around WWE’s resident businesswoman. In fact, she didn’t have a single match in July and has only had two matches on Raw since her call-up in late April.
We do not know when her contract is up, but she might try her luck in another company if things continue not to progress for her in WWE.
Kiana James’ business-based gimmick means she clearly loves making money, a perfect match-up with Shane McMahon.

5. Odyssey Jones
Another man who knows a thing or two about having nothing to do after a call-up is Odyssey Jones. In fact, it happened to him TWICE.
At this point it might be time for him to look for an alternative. Shane McMahon could present himself as the saviour of Odyssey Jones.
For example, Jones could debut in AEW as McMahon’s bodyguard. The man who goes after those who do not want Shane in AEW.
Whatever he does in AEW, it is probably a lot more than he would do on WWE TV, because that is simply nothing at all.

4. Tegan Nox
Three times is the charm….the third name on this list that’s done little to nothing after her recent draft is Tegan Nox.
Unlike James and Jones though, the Triple H regime did try things with Nox. Unfortunately, the crowd didn’t seem connect with her as much as everyone hoped.
It is safe to say that the wrestling world has a soft spot for the former Nixon Newell and maybe a change is all she needs to remind the people what she can do.
Imagine if Shane McMahon is the man who finally unlocks what the European wrestling scene already knows: Tegan Nox is absolutely fantastic.

3. Omos
This is what the world needs.
If you didn’t know, before his ‘full’ debut alongside AJ Styles, Omos actually served as the bouncer for Shane McMahon’s Raw Underground format.
The perfect way to bring Omos back is to once again be linked to Shane McMahon in AEW.
We’ve already had a couple of options linked to being McMahon’s bodyguard, but Omos actually has experience in that very role.
Or, Tony Khan could stop messing around and book the match the world needs: Satnam Singh vs Omos.
Whatever Shane McMahon decides to do with the man he could claim he ‘discovered’, it would make for some interesting television.
He could even pair him back up with his former manager…

2. Former WWE Star MVP
There’s not long to go until MVP is a free agent once more. The WWE run of Montel Vontavious Porter is coming to an end and he is already spreading his wings as he recently showed up at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport.
The knowledge of the business that MVP has is incredible and maybe Shane McMahon could even pair him with several others in the company.
Ultimately MVP can be used in so many different roles – wrestler, manager, commentator, he even had producer ‘tryouts’ with WWE – why wouldn’t Tony Khan agree to use him in AEW?
But I know what you are all thinking. At the end of the day, we only want MVP to do one thing in All Elite Wrestling, and that is…

1. Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley To Join Shane McMahon In AEW?
Bring in Bobby Lashley.
In a really shocking turn of events it looks like WWE and Bobby Lashley won’t be working together anymore.
The All-Mighty had a great run in WWE since he returned in 2018, even after a rocky start. Especially with Cedric Alexander, Shelton Benjamin and the already-mentioned MVP as the Hurt Business in 2020.
The Hurt Business was the gold that WWE struck during one of its toughest eras. And yet the company opted not to continue the act.
Then, Lashley turned to the Street Profits and B-Fab to form “The Pride”, but the success was not comparable to the Hurt Business at all.
Having the actual Hurt Business – minus Cedric Alexander as he is still with WWE and now getting screen time in NXT – in AEW would be a masterstroke by Shane McMahon.
There’s only one thing left for Tony Khan to say after this move: Here Comes The Money.
