AEW President Tony Khan noted in a talent meeting last week that AEW’s Chief Legal Officer Megha Parekh emailed WWE’s Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon to warn them about contract tampering.
As previously reported, WWE reached out to a contracted AEW talent.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported additional details regarding the situation. It was noted that the people WWE approached were those who had worked with Triple H in the past.
Several AEW wrestlers told the promotion about it, and the legal letter was sent to Stephanie, Khan, and Triple H.
Meltzer added, “there was at least one person who asked for his release, which hasn’t been granted, and the person has a long time left on his deal.”
It’s unclear who this wrestler is, as Khan has brought in several former WWE stars who worked in NXT with Triple H.
