It seems like AEW has been hosting some high-profile backstage visitors recently, which is always a topic of intrigue for wrestling fans. The presence of former WWE announcers Samantha Irvin and Beth Phoenix at AEW Dynamite is an interesting development, even though there was no indication that they would be appearing on screen. Phoenix’s connection to Adam Copeland (formerly Edge) and Irvin’s engagement to Ricochet only add to the speculation, though it seems both are currently under contract obligations that prevent them from making appearances at AEW right now.
The backstage visits of other wrestling figures like Baron Corbin, AJ “Top Dolla” Francis, and Tyler Breeze at the Worlds End pay-per-view could also signal possible future moves or just casual visits, considering that Corbin and Francis are free agents. AEW has always thrived on surprises, so it’s easy to see how these backstage visits could eventually translate into new storylines, especially if those non-compete clauses expire and free agents are allowed to make their way to AEW.
For now, it seems like these are simply friendly visits, but with the nature of pro wrestling and AEW’s openness to sign top talent, fans will likely be keeping a close eye on these names in the coming months.
