4. Brian Cage could get fed up with AEW and leave.

Brian Cage calls himself "The Machine," but at AEW he seems to be on the backshelf gathering dust. Cage is imposing and dominating in the ring, and he's the last person to have defeated Adam Page too. If any wrestler in AEW were to choose not to renew his contract, Cage would be the least surprising.

Cage's wife, Melissa Santos, has publicly spoken out about her feelings about her husband's booking. Santos considers Cage to be her favorite wrestler, and noted how he's hardly made any on-screen appearances. While Cage has not done anything notable recently, he won the Casino Ladder Match on his debut and was part of Sting's first feud and match in AEW.

Fans might have forgotten about all those things, and as such, if Cage becomes fed up, he'd be ideal for a WWE run. At 6'5'' and weighing 272 lbs, Cage is the perfect size for a McMahon guy. As noted earlier in this article, McMahon has been looking to sign male wrestlers built like Cage. Fitting the bill will only mean that he has a better chance of being pushed to the top.

Hopefully Cage gets more screentime on AEW soon, but if he ever leaves AEW, Vince McMahon should do everything to sign "The Machine".

3. Britt Baker would be a great asset for WWE

Britt Baker is arguably one of the best female wrestlers in the modern wrestling industry. Baker is unique enough to be one of the few full-on heels in wrestling to still get resounding cheers from fans. This was seen on full display in her hometown of Pittsburgh, where droves of fans wore her merch to the show.

If Baker were to ever not renew her contract, she would be the most important female signing for McMahon to make. "D.M.D." isn't just one of the catchiest catch-phrases in AEW, but the Doctor's in ring work is remarkable. She's broken a nose, landed on thumb tacs, and been put through a table.

Britt Baker could be credited with making the AEW Women's roster what it is today. According to CM Punk, she's the actual Fourth-Pillar of AEW. Baker returned from an injury and went from being overlooked to having the spotlight on her. Vince McMahon is hopefully keeping an eye on her, because Britt Baker will go down as one of the greatest female wrestlers of our time.
