The Kingdom debuted in All Elite Wrestling, but they weren't officially signed to AEW deals at the time, we're told. That has changed.
The trio of Maria Kanellis, Mike Bennett and Matt Taven finished up with IMPACT Wrestling at the Bound For Glory tapings and dropped the IMPACT Tag Team Championships, but it hadn't aired yet. As a result, they appeared on AEW television while in canon being IMPACT champions.
The three debuted on AEW Rampage from Toronto, and made a challenge to FTR for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. We're told that FTR had also pushed to get them involved, though we're not sure in what context. However, upon their first appearance, they weren't actually inked to contracts. That has since changed, and we're told that all three have signed multi-year contracts with All Elite Wrestling.
Maria Kanellis joined Brandi Rhodes and Awesome Kong as the only women to appear for AEW, ROH, WWE, IMPACT and NJPW. There were rumors that WWE was interested in Matt Taven, but we're told that Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett both also had conversations with WWE, but we haven't heard of any firm offers. Despite speaking openly about being open to helping book in ROH or the women's division, as of now Maria is only contracted as a talent.
Another Honor No More member in Vincent finished up on IMPACT and was backstage at WWE Raw shortly after. Those we've spoken to don't believe Vincent was set for anything Bray Wyatt related
