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

1. AEW signed CM Punk

There's not much that can be said about CM Punk's debut in AEW that hasn't been said already. He's the one wrestler fans were dreaming would come back to wrestling, and one of the last few we thought ever would. A year ago, nobody would have believed you if you told them CM Punk would be wrestling again.

Punk initially debuted on the WWE-owned ECW. He began with a winning streak, much like he currently has on AEW. Here Punk introduced us to the GTS (Go-To-Sleep) and had numerous memorable matches.

Before retiring from wrestling in 2014, Punk won multiple championships and accolades in WWE. He is also known for his promos. The ''Pipe Bomb'' was apparently scriptless, and is seen as one of the most significant moments from his time at WWE.

On June 20th, the unthinkable happened, CM Punk came out of retirement and debuted at AEW. Since then he's had a feud with Darby Allin and most recently with Eddie Kingston.

Punk will face Kingston at AEW Full-Gear. We can only imagine what's in store for the Straight Edge wrestler at AEW.

1. AEW could sign Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux

Karrion Kross was one of the most promising wrestlers WWE has had in recent memory. Kross has the physique, the look, and in ring ability that Vince McMahon adores. Regardless, Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux (his real-life fiancee), were shockingly released.

Kross is a master of catch wrestling and sambo, styles that include different variations of suplexes. A hands-on style and aggressiveness that could fit perfectly in AEW. Wrestlers like PAC or Kenny Omega would be perfect for vicious feuds with Kross.

Of course, Kross's gimmick would not be complete without Bordeaux. A wrestler in her own right, but one of the best managers seen on screen. Kross and Bordeaux are a team reminiscent of Attitude Era teams, and would translate well into AEW.
