The rumor mill is churning, and it’s churning faster than a politician’s promises during an election year! The buzz is all about former Maximum Male Models, Mason Madden and Mansoor, who have been sighted backstage at recent AEW events. Like secret agents on a covert mission, they were present at “AEW Collision” and the May 29 episode of “AEW Dynamite” in Los Angeles but didn’t make it to the screen. Are they planning a grand entrance or just enjoying the catering? Only time will tell.
The plot thickens as Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reveals that these two wrestling free agents have been chatting with AEW about potentially stepping into the Ring of Honor (ROH) spotlight. No contracts have been signed yet, but AEW seems to be rolling out the red carpet just in case. Think of it as setting up for a party with the possibility of the guests showing up fashionably late.
This scenario isn’t unprecedented. Remember Ronda Rousey’s cameo on “ROH on HonorClub” in late 2023? She popped in like a surprise guest at a wedding—uninvited yet making headlines. MxM might follow a similar path, making appearances without putting pen to paper for a long-term deal.
Since parting ways with WWE in September 2023, Madden and Mansoor have been hotter than a summer in Florida. They’ve been making the rounds in independent wrestling, showing up at GCW, DPW, and even international promotions like APC in France and GLEAT in Japan. These guys are like wrestling globetrotters, spreading their charm worldwide. They even took a detour to Uganda, visiting the Soft Ground Wrestling promotion and adding more stamps to their wrestling passports.
Looking ahead, they’re slated to return to DPW for the Tag Festival event and are gearing up for their debuts at Prestige Wrestling and Hoodslam. It seems these former WWE stars are busier than a bee in a flower shop!
