Following Paquette’s departure from WWE, she was given a year-long non-compete clause, which prohibited her from appearing on another wrestling promotion. But with her clause now up, Paquette is free to appear on other wrestling programs. As with many ex-WWE stars, many fans wonder if Paquette would join AEW.
There’s a lot of benefits to Paquette joining AEW. She’d be working with her husband, wrestler Jon Moxley. Also, fans feel Paquette would be great at the commentary desk or hosting AEW specials. According to Still Real To Us, Paquette admits working for AEW is tempting. “Looking at AEW, I think there are endless opportunities of other things I could be doing over there if that was to be something that came up down the line,” she explained.
