8. Lio Rush has been crawling to the top of AEW but might get a push soon

At only 27, AEW's Lio Rush could be called a prodigy. During his WWE run, he wowed fans but was released in 2020. He then had a few appearances on the Independent Circuit before officially becoming All Elite in the 2021 Casino Battle Royal.

The self-proclaimed "Man of the Hour" cut some fantastic promos during his time with the All Elite promotion. While his promos have been amazing, he's only wrestled three times since being signed. If Rush had more screen time and matches, he'd easily be higher on this list.

7. Thunder Rosa has a bright future ahead of her

Although Thunder Rosa didn't pick up the TBS Championship, she has tremendous in-ring skills and a huge fanbase.

Some minor bad bookings aside, she has been a great asset to All Elite Wrestling. She may have unintentionally propelled Britt Baker to superstardom, but La Mera Mera herself is a future champion in the making.

Thunder Rosa will definitely have her chances against Baker in 2022 and could dethrone the D.M.D as the women's champion.
