5 AEW wrestlers who completely reinvented themselves

#2. AEW's Demo God, Chris Jericho

Like fellow AEW veteran Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho is a wrestler who always innovates. Throughout his 30-year-long career, he's managed to keep things fresh with more than just a few different gimmicks. In the past, he's been the Lionheart, the egomaniacal King of the World, and even the buttoned-up, suit-wearing Best In The World At What He Does.

With the start of his AEW career, Jericho began toying with a few new versions of his character. Alternately, he's appeared as Le Champion, Le Sex God, and the Demo God. When he's involved in a more violent match, he even whips out his NJPW Painmaker gimmick. Regardless of what version of Y2J fans are seeing, it's easy to see how inventive a performer Jericho has and continues to be.

#1. Miro's Redemption

Miro has come a long way in the world of pro wrestling. In WWE, he earned plenty of heat as the Russian nationalist, Alexander Rusev. Later, he became known for his incredibly popular "Rusev Day" gimmick. Through these two, Miro proved himself capable of winning over fans with the right gimmick.

In AEW, Miro struggled at first to find the kind of character that matched his in-ring skills. Like The Dark Order, he started off playing a completely different sort of character, Kip Sabian's Best Man. After this somewhat lackadaiscal start, he would eventually come into his element as "The Redeemer." After winning the TNT Championship he proclaimed himself "God's Favorite Champion" and dedicated all of his wins directly to God. It was this gimmick that proved popular among fans, capitalizing on Miro's imposing physique and dominant in-ring ability.
