I do think there is probably some "Grass isn't greener on the other side" going on for a couple of guys.
I think AEW sold Miro, Black, and Andrade on the dream of being headliners in AEW...
But then went and signed Danielson, Punk, Cole, Christian, Cesaro, etc and really the main event scene filled up really quick.
Miro got some time with the TNT title at least, but Black and Andrade haven't even really been part of that scene.
I would guess that Black, Andrade, and maybe even Cole (who IMO has been booked like a non-threat) all look at HHH running WWE and NXT again now and wish they could go back.
Edit: FTR might have been willing to stay as well. Don't seem to love the Young Bucks, liked working for HHH in NXT
