The Kingdom did have talks with WWE prior to signing to All Elite Wrestling.
In a recent interview with Just Alyx, Maria Kanellis revealed that she had talks with Triple H prior to signing with AEW last month. Despite those talks, Maria disclosed that she felt AEW was the place for them.
“We definitely communicated with Triple H as our contracts were coming up with IMPACT Wrestling. And so, like, we did that, you know, that courtesy conversation and it went really well and at the end of the day, I think AEW is the place that we belong,” said Maria Kanellis.”
