#7. and #6. Former WWE Superstars The Singh Brothers a.k.a The Bollywood Boyz
When The Singh Brothers were released by WWE, it wasn't necessarily a surprise. The pair first came to WWE as Jinder Mahal's sidekicks, ensuring he remains champion at all costs. It's remarkable that they were barely featured as an actual team during their time with Mahal.
As a duo, the only title they secured was the WWE 24/7 Championship a total of nine times. The pair returned to 205 Live and embraced their Bollywood Boyz gimmick, but were released in June 2021.

While the pair are back on the independents, they have expressed an interest in facing FTR in the future:
"They are big Bret Hart fans and guys who grew up watching Bret. And obviously everybody knows that we love Bret as much. Their style would gel well with ours obviously with who we watch and who we study and our mindset of the business. So, outside of WWE, there's so many great tag teams both in IMPACT and on AEW right now and all around the world that we're eager and hungry to lock up with."
Would AEW sign the pair in 2022? Nothing is off the table. Moreover, with the company wanting to expand its base globally, especially in India, signing talent like Bollywood Boyz would be a step in the right direction.
#5. Former WWE Superstar John Morrison
The one-and-only John Morrison's return to WWE was inevitable. Morrison had built a name for himself before leaving WWE in 2011, enjoying stints in Lucha Underground, AAA, and IMPACT Wrestling.
Reuniting with The Miz was a significant first step as they became WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion. The pair featured at WrestleMania 37 facing Bad Bunny and Damien Priest. Things were set for a feud with The Miz, but it ended as Miz appeared on Dancing with the Stars.
While it remains to be seen where John Morrison is headed, it wouldn't be surprising for him to show up in AEW. The promotion has seemingly signed a slew of EX-WWE talent, and given Morrison's style and in-ring ability, he would certainly fit in very nicely in AEW.
Could we see 'Johnny Elite' in AEW? Only time will tell.
