As part of its aggressive growth strategy to overturn the professional wrestling monopoly, AEW has announced the formation of a “developmental” brand where the stars of tomorrow will learn the ropes, Wrestling Worker Enhancement (WWE). 

The Stamford-based developmental organization will is a training ground and “feeder system” for AEW, and has produced recent AEW recruits including CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, Miro (formerly Rusev), Christian Cage (formerly Brian Cage), Adam Cole (formerly Michael Cole), and Jon Moxley (formerly Atsushi Onita). 

While signed with Wrestling Worker Enhancement, trainees learn the fundamentals that it takes to become an AEW Superduperstar®, and the luckiest few will get “called up” to the “big leagues” of AEW. 

AEW promoter and money mark Tony Khan reportedly has his eye on several outstanding talents currently training in the WWE feeder system, including Seth Rollins, Baron Corbin, and rookie sensation Bill Goldberg.
