Fightful recently reported that Benjamin has had talks with the promotion but it's unclear if an agreement has been reached.

Benjamin addressed the possibility of him landing in AEW in an interview posted on Tuesday by For The Love of Wrestling.

"As far as AEW goes, that door's open. My door's open. I haven't eliminated any possibilities as of yet," Benjamin said on the show.

"Again, the ball is really in their court," Benjamin later added regarding AEW. "It's pro-wrestling so you never know what's going to happen."

Earlier in the conversation, Benjamin also spoke about the possibility of wrestling new AEW signees Kazuchika Okada and Will Ospreay.

"Okada, while I've worked alongside of him in New Japan, we never actually had a match so I would love to work with Okada. Obviously, I would love to work with Will Ospreay because I think that guy's phenomenal. I've been watching him for years. People call me athletic but he does stuff that I couldn't even... It would put me in traction to even try some of the moves he does but I would love to work with him, I think it could be a lot of fun."

I hope that opportunity arises for him. Would be great.

I just hope he wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle

I mean I love him but AEW has such a stacked roster, he would be a cameo for an awesome match guy to me. Unless he had the right tag team partner. Ironically he would be kinda perfect for ROH
