5 Former WWE stars AEW has already signed, and 5 more who could follow

2. AEW signed Ruby Soho (Riott)

Ruby Riott had a decent run while in NXT. Although she held no championships, she quickly became a fan favorite due to her appearance as a rebel and outcast. .

Her wrestling style is very rough and fast paced and she can be considered one of the best female wrestlers out there. Whether or not she continues to prove that remains to be seen.

Riott was called up to the main roster in November 2017. She teamed up with Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan. Together they formed a heel tag team known as the Riott Squad. Her main roster run never quite reached the heights of her stint on NXT.

On June 2nd, 2021 Riott was released from WWE. Three months later, she went on to debut at AEW as Ruby Soho, the "Joker" entrant in the Women's Casino Battle Royale. Soho would even win the match, beginning a brief feud between her and Britt Baker, the current AEW Women's Champion.

Despite failing to defeat Baker, Soho has shown herself to be resilient and is currently in the TBS Championship Tournament. Soho will be facing Kris Statlander in her next tournament matchup, where Soho has a chance to show what she's made of.

2. AEW could sign Ember Moon

Adrienne Palmer (Ember Moon) would be an excellent pick for AEW. Palmer had a six-year tenure with WWE before being released on November 4th. Palmer had a successful run on NXT, picking up the NXT Women's Championship and NXT Women's Tag titles during her time on the brand.

Palmer would eventually be called up to the main roster on April 9th 2018. She had a lackluster run with amplified injuries that sidelined her for months.

Palmer clearly has the skill, but never had the chance to truly prove herself. Very few female wrestlers manage to pull off her feats of strength and highflying while still looking good.

At AEW, Palmer could debut under her Independent Circuit name, Athena. She has the skill to go toe-to-toe with the best of the female roster at AEW.
