Private Party’s last televised appearance for AEW was in January 2025. Despite their absence from AEW programming, their time away has not been attributed to any injury. The team has been active on the independent circuit, with their most recent match taking place in March for the promotion House of Glory.

The potential move would follow an established pattern of talent transitioning from AEW to WWE. Recently, performers such as Ricky Starks and Ethan Page have joined WWE, securing championships on the NXT brand.
