The Kingdom Had Contact With WWE Before Signing With AEW
The Kingdom are All Elite, but there was at least contact with WWE.
Shortly after the trio left IMPACT Wrestling, there were reports that Matt Taven had interest from WWE. We’re told by WWE sources that there were actually conversations with all three members of the Kingdom, including Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett, however, no firm offer was in place to bring them in, and it was more of a feeling out process between the two sides. WWE sources had indicated to us that a formal offer wasn’t made.
Sources familiar with the situation claimed that Triple H and Gabe Sapolsky were the points of contact among the three.
