Recently Released WWE Superstars Who Would Shine in AEW
Last week the WWE made several official announcements
declaring a number of their talents had been released. The list included the
likes of producer and former in-ring star Finlay, former tag team champions
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, fan favourites EC3 and Drake Maverick, NXT
stars Deonna Purrazzo and Lio Rush and former United States champion Rusev.
Several of these announcements left fans stunned and a week later the WWE
Universe are still discussing what awaits these recently released superstars.
Despite the awful times we are living in and the sad news of these WWE
departures fresh new company AEW works as a beam of light and a serious
opportunity for many of the stars above and in today’s blog post I’m going to
be discussing who of the recently released WWE superstars would shine bright in
AEW.
EC3
When EC3 resigned with the WWE a couple of years back I was
one of many who were very excited about his return! EC3’s initial run with the
company didn’t allow him to showcase his true skills and the depths of his
talents and time away from the WWE highlighted him to be a major talent capable
of becoming the next big thing within World Wrestling Entertainment. However,
despite the buzz around his WWE return the second time around mimicked what we
saw years prior and we now have a situation that sees him released yet again
and still never given his big WWE push he more than deserves. Now, despite his
poor showing during his time with the WWE EC3 is a man no one should be worried
about moving forward. With the look, mic skills, and character work EC3 is a main
event star and we all know (well everyone but Vince McMahon) and his character
would sure shine over in AEW. Collisions with the likes of Cody, MJF and Jon
Moxley would make for dream matches and storylines that could elevate AEW even
more while showcasing the very best of EC3. This is a fresh start (once again)
for a big-time fan favourite and its AEW where we are likely to see the very
best of him and see him given that major push, we have all been waiting to see
him receive again.
Sarah Logan
The release that made me the most furious (following Rusev)
had to be Sarah Logan. From the get-go, the WWE hasn’t used Logan to her full
potential despite her experience and everything she did prior to signing with
the company. From that character work to in-ring time Logan was never given the
attention she deserves but this is a woman truly born to belong on the indies
scene in the world of pro wrestling and a hot new brand like AEW would be very
fitting for Logan to find a balance between the indies and a promotion with
major draw. While I have been one of many to sing the praises of All Elite
Wrestling the promotion is still struggling when it comes to its women’s
division and is in serious needed of adding more female talent to its roster
and so this is where everything ties together. With character adjustments, Logan
would make for a great new name to join the AEW Women’s division. Her
experience and wrestling skill is much needed for the division and a spotlight
like this will allow Sara to finally show just how good she is in front of a
major audience. Put her in stipulation and lengthy matches and Logan is sure to
shine and prove to the WWE they made a huge mistake with her.
Drake Maverik
Drake Maverik really is an amazing all-round talent. Full of
charisma and likability he has a great story to tell and a lot of experience.
His release was yet another big disappointment yet is sure to open bigger doors
of opportunities for the British star. I would love to see Maverik sign with
AEW and come face to face with the likes of Marco Stunt and MJF for the
character collisions and spots are sure to be something very special and
entertaining. Of course, in a dream would seeing Drake and EC3 team up and
stand alongside each other again is one I cannot stop thinking about especially
considering the creative options for them as a duo. However, it's also AEW where
I believe we will see Maverik not only shine within his character roles but
also in the ring. Drake has a lot of experience and great in-ring talent we
haven’t always seen a lot of and I do believe his overall style would fit in so
well with All Elite Wrestling.
Deonna Purrazzo
Deonna Purrazzo truly could have been something special
within the WWE. Her talent in the ring and experience prior to signing with the
WWE gave her everything needed to be the next big thing in the WWE women’s
division but things just didn’t work out
and despite all the potential she had to be something incredible we never saw
things really get going for her. As we have touched on already today, AEW has a
lot more work to do with its women’s division and a talent like Purrazzo could
truly change the game and set up some must-see matches that elevates the
women’s division and creates a standout contest. I would love to see the AEW
women’s division grow and equally, I would love to see Deonna given the chance
to work on a bigger stage and show the world why she is worthy of being a big
time champion and face of her division.
The Revival
Of course, we just had to include the Revival in this list!
Despite being one of the best tag teams in the world today the WWE made every
mistake possible when Dash and Dawson joined the main roster. For a long time
now fans have been waiting for the pair to depart with the WWE and find their
way to AEW in particular where an array of dream match awaits them including
that tag team encounter with the Young Bucks we have all been waiting for a
very long time. With the two now departed with the WWE, it looks as though we
are edging closer to that dream match but with AEW handling tag team matches
and the division so well this is an incredible opportunity for the Revival and
fans could be in for many phenomenal tag team match-ups involving these two and
many AEW talents so watch this space.
With so many releases there were, of course, other names I
could have included in this blog post including Rusev, Zack Ryder and more but
the names above I really do feel in particular could make a huge impact over in
AEW and have career-changing moments and turn arounds.
