Per Ibou of Wrestlepurists:
>HHH has been discussing launching a hiring blitz in 2025, hoping to turn around sagging ratings and a recent drop in live attendance.
>HHH was directly involved with signing the Lucha Brothers to a contract and also has eyes on several other big name AEW stars. We’re also told that HHH is still “pissed off” about losing out on Ospreay and Okada, since one of his bucket list items has been to have Okada wrestle in the WWE.
>HHH also has eyes on several big name indie talents, hence the WWEID program, although we’re also told that the program is “a bit of a dud” and may be ended in 2025.
>Some of the talent being scouted right now from the indies includes Charles Mason, Kevin Ku, Matt Makowski, and Lizzy Evo.
>On the flip side, HHH has supposedly lost interest in several WWE talents. This has caused some frustration backstage, as multiple long time WWE talents feel like AEW may be greener pastures once again.
>All of this is coming at an odd time for WWE. As they move into a steaming era they are also repeatedly setting records for low viewership, causing some Netflix executives to be “rattled” by the cratering viewership. 2025 will almost certainly be another successful year for the company, but there are some signs that it may be the beginning of a major company downturn.
