In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer has noted that “there has been talk” of former IMPACT Wrestling star Daga joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Dave Meltzer was quite vague with the note in the latest Newsletter issue, just explaining that there had been some talk about bringing Daga into the company following his IMPACT departure last year:
There has been talk of Daga coming in. As far as Tessa Blanchard goes, that’s a decision that ultimately will be made based on the perceived value of her to the product vs. the negativity and backlash in some quarters such a signing would have. Impact made her world champion when there were still fans and there was never a visible backlash from those who attended, but there was a backlash in social media. AEW is a far bigger target for social media backlash, really the biggest of any company. But when Blanchard went into a self-imposed exile when the pandemic started one year ago, she was probably the best in-ring American woman wrestler including Sasha Banks if you based it on her major matches.
For those that don’t know, Daga is married to fellow former IMPACT star Tessa Blanchard, who also left the promotion last year after reportedly refusing to drop the World Championship.
At this time, it’s not 100% unclear what AEW is planning to do with Daga and how serious these reported talks are. For any additional information on the matter, stay tuned to WrestleTalk.com.
