According to Styles, the current atmosphere in WWE means that performers will be able to keep their jobs for longer stretches of time. On top of that, the company is continuing to expand its global reach and is bigger than ever before, which could be appealing to those hoping to increase their worldwide star power.
“This isn’t the same WWE that Vince was in charge of,” Styles continued. “I really believe that Triple H looks at our talent and goes, ‘Alright, let’s get them better, or let’s find ways to bring out the best in them rather than show off the worst.'”
In March alone, three significant signings made their official AEW roster debuts — Mercedes Mone, Kazuchika Okada, and Will Ospreay. Each individual was said to have had contact with WWE but opted to sign with the rival promotion instead.
Styles feels that the security of the Netflix deal, as well as the new leadership under Paul “Triple H” Levesque, should be enough to convince some major names to join the company. Only time will tell how successful WWE is when it comes to attracting new talent, but it’s safe to say they have plenty of resources at their disposal.
