So I was bored, and though that so far the wrestlers going from WWE to AEW have pretty much busted out, also that the roster for AEW is bloated and horrible. So I wanted to put together a list of WWE wrestlers that should go over to AEW, and would probably be highly successful. Now I want to leave alone the top guys because its never going to happen, but the mid and lower card guys that are being ignored or jobbed or misused, that could probably find upper card main event success in AEW. I've also left out the NXT guys as that would be too easy.
1) Cesaro - Unbelievable performer that has it all. He can wrestle, fly, and he has charisma and was getting over with his Swing and Cesaro section. He's a guy that could come in as a huge face and go after the factions or even challenge a guy like Jericho or Moxley.
2) Cedric Alexander - This guy is a fantastic wrestler and again can do it all. He's been largely forgotten in WWE, probably because he's undersized and a cruiser weight. But man you send him to AEW and make his a cruiser weight giant killer as a face and he would be in the words of Lance Storm Money
3) Dolph Ziggler - Kind of a duh one, but after he got double concussed the WWE never trusted him again, as well his mouth tends to get him in trouble. But he's a combination of a guy like Jericho and Lance Storm, in that he's just technically brilliant and brilliant seller and he's a natural charismatic heel. You could bring him into AEW as a heel of heel, as he goes after the bad guys, or even better you throw him into a feud witha kind of boring as dirt Cody Rhodes and its money.
4) Buddy Murphy - He's being wasted as Seth Rollins enforcer and that whole gimmick has gone stale. He's an outstanding performer and a natural heel who could fit into any of the factions there. You could even make him the head of his own faction of undersized guys and make him an absolute killer
5) Ricochet - The WWE has pretty clearly depushed him. But he's the most athletic guy in either company and the stuff he can do aerially is unreal. The problem is with his mic skills and he strongly lacks that. But then again I consider Rey Mysterio to be bad on the mic and his athletic ability and lawn dart aerodynamics made him a star. AEW could bring him in as a hero face, the do gooder for justice, until the fans start bucking against it and he turns hypocritical heel.
6) Sami Zayn - AEW should do everything they can do to sign him when his contract expires. An unbelievable talent, but more importantly can play face or heel. He's become an incredible old school heel instead of the cool heel. He can play a jerk like no one elses business. He can still put on a very good match, though he tends to be a bit more tentative then he used to be.
The Woman Wrestlers
1) Liv Morgan - I'm a big fan of hers because its pretty clear that she's busted her ass training and learning her craft. Every single week she's better and adds on to her arsenal. A little tentative on the mic and she's never nailed down a character, but that's on the people in the back more then Liv.
2) Sonya Deville - She's another one that has transformed and worked unbelievably hard to improve her ring work, and even her mic work. She would instantly to me go to top of the female division in AEW, and she looks like she's beating the crap out of people.
3) Ruby Riot - This is about to be a Riot Squad reunion. Ruby has had a lot of injury problems, but she's a strong in ring performer. Even though she has these periods where she just looks like Elaine trying to dance. Her mic work was ok, she's very charasmatic.
4) Sara Logan - She's been released but I expect her to show on on AEW once her non compete expires. She did a whole body transformation and she can work. Also she's actually a natural heel if you've seen some of her work as Crazy Mary. A not cute faction of Logan, Riot and Morgan could be cool.
Off Air on air
Paul Heyman - He's just been fired from creative and they're trying to fit him into managing though I assume that Brock is pretty much done with WWE now. But having Heyman come in to work with the "Booking Committee" would be the best thing that AEW could do. Having him as a manager for one of the factions, re create the Dangerous Alliance, I've wanted that to come back for a while.
