5 WWE Superstars who will never sign with AEW - Former Universal Champion, Top SmackDown star

#2. AEW should not sign Johnny Gargano

With Johnny Gargano's contract close to expiry, him going to AEW could be a real possibility. But Tony Khan must resist the urge to sign him.

Johnny Gargano has been a vital part of NXT since the brand was at its peak. His rivalry with Tomasso Ciampa and the accompanying matches will be one of the best feuds in WWE history. However, there's simply no place for him in AEW.

Adam Cole is in AEW, and he was a man as synonymous with NXT as Gargano. But the Panama City Playboy had a history with The Elite, which made him distinguishable from his time in the black and gold brand. The history will be missing with Johnny Gargano, and he will be just another excellent wrestler who joined AEW without being involved in a top storyline.

If Gargano doesn't extend, there will be no shortage of suitors. He's an excellent professional wrestler, but AEW will probably not be the right move for him.

#1. AEW's audience will reject Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is the biggest full-time pro wrestler in the business today. His Tribal Chief persona has elevated him to the top of the industry, and it's hard to argue with his greatness in this role.

Although few stars in the industry could claim to be better in-ring technicians, the Universal Champion has the look, size, and aura for a dominant champion,

Roman Reigns is a WWE product. From his Samoan lineage to his development in NXT to the main event push since 2014, he will always be associated with Vince McMahon's company; Couple that with his complete disregard for AEW and he will never be a good fit for the promotion.

Of course, the chances that AEW will ever be in a position to get Roman Reigns are negligible. But even if the opportunity arrives, Tony Khan should not do it.
