Per SRS and Fightful:
>Money and creative are the two sticking points. They’re close on money but completely at an impasse on creative. Drew pitched an idea where he’d start training and teaming with an NXT talent. That was shot down. Creative pitched an idea where he’d be renamed “Monster Hunter” and fight only giants, saying his family was from Loch Ness. He shot that down. Drew apparently wrote down a dozen rough ideas that were all dismissed, and most of the WWE Creative ideas aren’t clicking either.
>They’re close on money but not there yet either. Drew wants a shorter contract with more upfront. WWE wants 3 years, no less.
>There is obviously interest from AEW but they’re not going to be able to match what WWE could pay. But it would mean more freedom and the general thought backstage is AEW is a much better spot right now if you want to wrestle, rather than just make a lot of money.
