6 WWE wrestlers Vince McMahon didn't push who are top stars in AEW

#1 Malakai Black – Debuted in AEW in July

Malakai Black has been in a feud with the Nightmare Family since his AEW debut

Malakai Black, one of the latest AEW stars to join WWE, is a wrestler who can very well go on to win the world title in the company. Aleister Black, as he was known in WWE, was underutilized on the main roster and didn't seem to have any momentum to craft his character.

Vince McMahon even apologized to Black for the way his character didn't go the way they had envisaged it.

Black has a unique gimmick that's rarely seen in pro-wrestling these days. Apart from being an exceptional in-ring performer, Black's dark and mysterious character has helped him stand out from the rest.

On his AEW debut, Black ambushed Cody Rhodes and Arn Anderson, and the feud between Black and Rhodes has continued. Black has been given time to build his gimmick in AEW and has featured prominently since his debut, wrestling with various members of Rhodes' Nightmare Family, before a match between Rhodes and Black at AEW's Grand Slam.

To feud against a top name like Cody Rhodes signals AEW's intent to use Black in a prominent position in the company.
