AEW (All Elite Wrestling) is reportedly setting its sights on the Aussie Open tag team, despite interest from WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). This potential signing could stir up an intriguing dynamic in the wrestling landscape, especially considering the significant contracts involved.

According to reports, WWE had shown interest in signing Aussie Open, a tag team comprising Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher. However, AEW appears to be confident in securing the duo. The Aussie Open, who declared themselves free agents in February, have been regulars in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) but are not tied to a contract with the company.

Interestingly, AEW’s Tony Khan reportedly paid for Mark Davis’ surgery, despite the team not being under contract. This move could be indicative of AEW’s serious intent to bring the Aussie Open into their fold. The tag team has been making appearances for the NJPW brand and has also had sporadic engagements with AEW.

While WWE has been on a hiring freeze in 2023, it’s reported that the company has supporters of the Aussie Open within its ranks. Furthermore, there have been short-term plans for Aussie Open in AEW, even before Davis’ injury, which is said to be a meniscus injury.

As the wrestling world watches with bated breath, the Aussie Open is in a favorable position, with options open for their next move. As the story unfolds, it’s clear that the signing of the Aussie Open could be a game-changer in the wrestling industry.
