WWE shows interest in AEW/CMLL luchador Persephone amid roster contentment
Summary

WWE is reportedly not seeking lucha talent from AEW or CMLL, barring one exception: Persephone. A rising star in CMLL and AEW, Persephone, 25, is expected to receive an offer from WWE when eligible. WWE's acquisition of AAA has led to increased collaboration with its talent, though the company currently feels satisfied with its roster. Speculation exists that WWE may explore additional lucha talent if it secures an American television deal and increases its budget.
