5 Underrated stars on the current AEW roster

2. Jake Hager in AEW

Poor pro-wrestling run for Jake Hager continues in AEW. Jake Hager is a legit combat artist. He earned the title for most pins in a season during his collegiate wrestling career. He still maintains his undefeated record in MMA.

Despite all that, he's often seen amid comedy angles. Be it WWE or AEW, he has been part of both Stadium Stampedes and the Minneapolis Street Fight. In reality, he should be treated as a no-nonsense shooter. He has been a part of a shoot-style match against Wardlow. Wardlow was seen pulling out a hurricanrana in that match. This completely diluted the "shoot" scenario in that match. It seems ridiculous comparing it to the shoot-style Fight Pit match between Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher.

Jake Hager deserves a better role in AEW.

1. Eddie Kingston

Eddie Kingston puts AEW on fire every time he enters the squared circle. Be it on the mic or in the ring, Eddie makes us believe him. He made us care for him with every angle he worked. It could be Jon Moxley, Miro, or Bryan Danielson, he sold every feud with his heart and soul. No one can forget his epic encounter with CM Punk and its culmination in the bloody fight at Full Gear.

Kingston is not the perfect look for a pro-wrestling superstar. It's really difficult to draw the attention of fans with that shortcoming. But he's not only drawing attention but also making the crowd get behind him every single time. Every time he's being held back by the booking decision. He was part of the botched finish to Revolution 2021. He was not selected to dethrone Miro’s undefeated streak. And there was no rematch after his thrilling encounter with CM Punk.

It's time to consider his talent and give his log a deserving push. It could do magic for AEW in 2022.
