There was a report last month that Blanchard and Daga were in talks with AEW.
Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that there are no talks between the two sides.
Pwinsider.com reported that not only are Daga and Blanchard not slated to debut with the promotion, there have been zero discussions with either talent. It was added that AEW has never made an offer to either Blanchard or Daga, nor have there been any conversations about potential creative for them.
