5 AEW stars who are 25 years old or younger

AEW currently features one of the most exciting rosters in the professional wrestling world. With impressive matches guaranteed in all major AEW events, the company's scouts have selected the best independent wrestlers and the hottest free agents to be part of the promotion.

Boasting the likes of Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, and Kenny Omega, the promotion has no dearth of star power. Meanwhile, unlikely success stories have seen relatively unknown wrestlers such as Wardlow and Powerhouse Hobbs become featured talents on the weekly shows.

AEW is not solely composed of youngsters. Bryan, Punk, Christian, Daniels, and numerous other members of the roster are veterans at this point. The 62-year-old Sting continues to defy aging and partake in in-ring action from time to time. However, AEW has consistently shown its will to feature younger performers under the spotlight and develop the next generation necessary in the promotion's survival.

Some of the company's youngest talents are rising stars ready for superstardom in the future. Here is a list of five impressive AEW wrestlers who are 25 years old or younger.

#5 AEW Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale winner MJF (25)

Since joining AEW, MJF has lifted himself to become one of the promotion's top talents. The casualties in his ascension are the spectators, each and every AEW wrestler not MJF, his supporters, detractors, and even his parents. MJF shall insult anyone and everyone, and shall hardly hesitate before crossing a line. The fans hate him and want to see him get beat up, which is the foremost trademark of a good heel.

Amazingly, The Salt Of The Earth is just 25 years old, and although he has never won a title in AEW yet, he is one of their most prized possessions. At some point, he will surely have interesting runs with some championships in the promotion. Until then, MJF vs. the world is open for all to enjoy.

#4 Marko Stunt (25)

This is a fairly dubious entry, as Marko Stunt is not a performer the fans consider a star in AEW. He is part of the fan-favorite faction The Jurassic Express, where the unlimited charisma of Luchasaurus and the constant development of Jungle Boy has seen him marked as the least intriguing member. However, there is an upside to Marko's character, and that is his young age.

The diminutive Stunt is 25 years old and although he may not become the breakout star of the faction once they split, he may remain a handy wrestler for AEW for years to come. Stunt's in-ring skills are better than many, which may keep him relevant for a long time.

#3 AEW Casino Battle Royale winner Jungle Boy (24)

In an antithesis to the fan perception of Marko Stunt, almost everyone expects his stablemate Jungle Boy to become a top AEW star in the future. He has been carefully built up as a force to be reckoned with.

Although the Jurassic Express member may not be on par with AEW's top stars at the moment, he is a wrestler who shows brilliance in the ring and has all the potential to evolve into a mega-face who could main-event major shows.

With Jungle Boy's youth, AEW can take its merry time preparing him for the eventual push. At 24 years old, the son of deceased actor Luke Perry can continue winning matches until he starts winning titles.

#2 Former AEW Women's Champion Riho (24)

Riho is 24 years old and so impressive in the ring that AEW decided to have her as their first women's champion. Her maturity in the squared circle is her extensive experience of being a professional wrestler. Riho has been wrestling for a decade and a half at this point, as her debut was in 2006 when she was nine years old!

Riho's title reign was not well received and she has moved to the sidelines in a women's division ruled by a dentist well versed in the psychology of wrestling. However, she is still young and has a lot of time to win the title back and bowl over her detractors.

#1 Anna Jay (23)

The Dark Order is a bit scattered right now, yet it is full of lovable characters. While John Silver may go on to become the biggest star to emerge from the faction, Anna Jay cannot be kept out of the equation. At 23 years old, Jay has become an AEW mainstay barely two years since her first pro wrestling match.

She has already challenged for the AEW women's title in a losing effort. Her main goal these days is to unify The Dark Order, and once the faction finds stability, Jay can look forward to carving her name in the burgeoning women's division. If she manages to develop her personality and in-ring skills, the sky is the limit.
