5 Veteran indie wrestlers we hope to see in AEW

#4. AEW could sign Matt Cross

As previously mentioned, AEW is the promotion where older talents shine brightest. Matt Cross may not be that old yet (he's only 41), but having a veteran wrestler as talented and versatile as Cross in AEW would be interesting.

Cross's recent in-ring accomplishments prove that he is still performing at an incredibly high level. From 2014 to 2018 in Lucha Underground, he wowed fans as the Son of Havoc, a high-flying, masked biker who was able to out-maneuveurs the very best luchadors.

In 2019, Cross would also go on to pursue the NWA World Championship a few times, as well as the company's TV title. Though he's not getting any younger, Cross's ability seems to only have improved with age.

Plus, given his gimmick--a straight-edge wrestler--he could be paired nicely with someone like CM Punk. Perhaps the two could even form their own, modern version of the Straight Edge Society in Tony Khan's promotion.

#3. The Amazing Red

Amazing Red is one of the pioneers of the high-flying, offensive style of wrestling fans frequently see today. Along with TNA's original X-Division lineup, Amazing Red popularized many of the top rope, luchador and cruiserweight moves of modern wrestling.

Initially, Red was portrayed as a young, underdog-type rookie able to use his speed and crazed, off-the-ropes offense to best larger opponents. Nowadays, Red is no longer the underdog. Since so many wrestlers in AEW seemingly owe a debt to Red's style, it'd be great to see such an underrated wrestler get a chance to flourish in Tony Khan's promotion.
