6 wrestlers who appeared in AEW, WWE, ECW, WCW & TNA/IMPACT Wrestling

#1 Raven on AEW Dynamite

Raven, who appeared as part of a segment on AEW Dynamite - is synonymous with the original ECW. It could be argued that Raven, Tommy Dreamer and Taz, and a couple of others were what ECW was built on.

Raven (real name Scott Levy) got his first real break in 1992 in WCW as Scotty Flamingo. He would win the WCW Light Heavyweight Championship but would leave the promotion after disagreements with Bill Watts. Levy would then join WWE in 1993 and take the name of Johnny Polo, a spoiled rich kid. But this didn't last as Levy left the promotion.

But really, this is where the true origin of the Raven character truly began. Levy began working on the character, which was inspired by an Edgar Allan Poe poem. Levy changed his whole look to suit the Raven character, a nihilist and a sociopath, and eventually found himself in ECW, where he thrived.

Levy had finally found what he was looking for. The Raven character connected with audiences, and it added to the intensity of his feuds with the likes of Sandman and Tommy Dreamer. Raven would eventually become ECW World Champion and would stay with ECW before returning to WCW in 1997.

Raven, who had a staple in ECW called Raven's Nest, would have a similar one called The Flock. Raven's time in WCW was mixed, as he would become the US Champion, but only for a day. He dropped the title to Bill Goldberg on Monday Nitro. Raven was satisfied with WCW and would leave in 1999 to join ECW.

In 2000, Raven returned to WWE and became a 27-time Hardcore Champion, making the Hardcore Division his own. After his release in 2003, Raven would find his way to TNA, appearing over several years.

CM Punk was in TNA and credited Raven as one of the first people to provide him real direction in the business. As stated earlier, Raven did appear on an episode of AEW Dynamite, sitting in the crowd. Fans thought that Raven was The Exalted One, but this proved to be a red herring.

With that said, there's always a possibility that AEW could use him in the future. Considering how AEW uses legacy talent, the possibility becomes closer to reality.

Would AEW sign Raven down the line? In pro wrestling, anything is possible.
