In a recent interview with Dan Severn and Eric Carroll as part of their Unleashed show, All Elite Wrestling star Brian Cage revealed that during his contract year, when All Elite Wrestling picked up his option year, he had held talks with WWE before coming to an agreement on a long-term contract with AEW.

“My contract was coming up last year with AEW and I was going back and forth with WWE and AEW with my agent, you know, trying to see where we should fit and there’s pros and cons to both, and a big reason, I mean there’s a lot of reasons, but a big reason to stay with AEW was the fac tthat there was a lot more certainty so to speak.

It’s not necessarily a guaranteed contract, but more for a lack of a better term, the contract was essentially guaranteed compared to WWE’s, which is, I mean I could be signed there today and gone tomorrow, you know what I mean.”
