AEW presented their All Out pay-per-view on Sunday night and it boasted three huge debuts, with former WWE Superstars Adam Cole, Ruby Riott and Daniel Bryan joining the company's ranks.
AEW really is the place to be at present, with CM Punk also recently opting to make a hot return to the wrestling business with All Elite Wrestling. The company has left the wrestling world talking after their recent event.
WWE, however, has made a number of releases over the past few months, which means that there are several other high-profile former superstars who could put pen to paper with AEW following All Out.
#6. Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt could make the move over to AEW
Bray Wyatt's release from WWE at the end of July came as a huge shock to the WWE Universe. Wyatt and his alter-ego, "The Fiend," had become popular characters before their recent hiatus from the company.
It was believed Wyatt was set to make his return to pick up his feud with Alexa Bliss after the star cost him his match at WrestleMania, but sadly that didn't happen.
Instead, it was announced on July 31st that the company had come to terms with the star's release. Wyatt is easily one of the most creative wrestlers of the current generation and any promotion would be lucky to add him to their ranks.
Wyatt's social media posts give the impression that the former WWE Superstar is already looking to create another character much like The Fiend that he can debut in the near future.
AEW's creative team will give Wyatt the freedom he both needs and deserves to thrive with this new character. Once the former Universal Champion's non-compete clause comes to an end in October, he will be free to join several of his friends in the AEW locker room.
The touring schedule with AEW isn't anywhere near as hectic as WWE, which means that Wyatt will also be able to spend time with his two children and his partner, JoJo Offerman.
#5/4. Former WWE Superstars The IIconics could sign for AEW
Ruby Soho's AEW debut has already provided a much-needed boost to AEW's women's division.
Soho won the Casino Battle Royal on her first night and will now be handed a Women's Championship shot in the near future. After being overlooked for several years in WWE, Soho is finally being taken seriously.
Along with Ruby's release, the former Women's Tag Team Champions, The IIconics, were also let go of their contracts. They have since sat out their non-compete clauses and are free to join another promotion.
AEW is having their own Women's Revolution and The IIconics, who are now rebranded as The IInspiration would be a fantastic fit following Soho's debut on Sunday night.
It's relatively well-known that Cassie Lee's husband Shawn Spears is already part of AEW, which would give the star much more incentive to join.
#3. Former WWE Superstar Buddy Murphy could sign with AEW
Several former WWE Superstars have already made their way to AEW, but could Buddy Murphy be the next one?
Murphy was once WWE's "best-kept secret," but now he seems to be keeping tight-lipped about his next destination.
The former Cruiserweight Champion's non-compete clause ended last month which means that he is now free to work for whoever he chooses.
It was rumored that Murphy could be heading over to IMPACT Wrestling, where the likes of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder have found a home following their WWE release.
If this isn't the case, then there is no reason why Murphy couldn't head over to AEW, the company has some incredible talent that the versatile star would be able to mix it up with.
As of yet, Murphy's future remains a mystery, but the former star will have a number of friends in AEW if he decides to make the move.
#2. Former WWE Superstar Sarah Logan could join Ruby Soho in AEW
While Liv Morgan remains contracted to WWE, Sarah Logan could finally be able to reunite with her former friend Ruby Soho in AEW after giving birth to her first child earlier this year.
Logan has been quite outspoken about the fact that she wants to return to wrestling following her son's birth and it could very well be for AEW.
Ruby Soho, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan were heartbroken when Logan was released from WWE in April 2020 and even asked the star's permission to reunite as a duo late last year.
Soho does have a new lease on life in AEW right now, but it could be a Women's Division where The Riott Squad would be taken seriously. Instead of being used as jobbers like the the trio were throughout their time together in WWE.
#1. Former WWE Superstar Braun Strowman could head to AEW
Paul Wight has made the move over to AEW and with his in-ring debut at All Out, it appears that he could be being built up for a feud with someone of Braun Strowman's caliber.
The former Universal Champion's WWE release came as a huge shock since he was still considered to be one of their main event level stars. He also defeated one of WWE's most protected stars, Goldberg, at WrestleMania 36.
The Monster Among Men was released from WWE on June 2nd, which means that he has now sat out his non-compete clause and has already begun announcing matches on the independent circuit.
Whilst Strowman is set to wrestle on EC3's upcoming show, this isn't a guarantee that he is going to sign for IMPACT Wrestling, since they are a company that Ethan Carter was recently linked with.
The former WWE Superstar would be a huge asset to AEW if he made the move, and how great would a feud between Luchasaurus and Braun Strowman be?
