Curt Hawkins, who was one of the many recently released former WWE Superstars, spoke with ComicBook.com not too long ago on a number of topics including being interested in signing with AEW once his WWE non-compete clause expires on July 15th.
Hawkins first talked about AEW’s weekly shows without any audience being better than those of WWE’s. Hawkins also said that once the world goes back to normal, there will be so much opportunities in AEW.
This is what Curt Hawkins said:
I mean obviously I’d love to (work for AEW). I haven’t missed an episode.” “I’ve watched everything from day one. I have a ridiculous amount of friends involved in that company so I’m always rooting for them. I’m rooting for, what their impact on the business is as a whole. They’ve made it better for everybody. So I would never say never to anything.”
I’ve even enjoyed their no-fan presentation a lot better than WWE. I think they’re doing the best with that scenario. There’s so much opportunity once the world starts to turn back. I see the light at the end of this coronavirus tunnel here and I think things are going to normalize to the new normal. And prior to this, wrestling was on fire man, there was just so much opportunity everywhere.”
Hawkins then had high praises for a number of AEW Stars including Trent, The Young Bucks, and Cody Rhodes, but Darby Allin is the person who stood out the most for him and Hawkins believes that they would mesh very well together.
This is what Curt Hawkins said:
“When I watch it, a person that I haven’t worked with…and I’ve worked, like I said, Trent (Beretta) and the Bucks and a lot of these guys, obviously Cody Rhodes… but Darby Allin is the one that sticks out to me. I’ve never met him. I’ve only just seen him on television and I feel like we could mesh very well together. I admire what he’s got going on.”
