AEW has been teeming with great feuds since its inception. It's obvious that Tony Khan has paid attention to well-crafted promos to hype up his impactful matches. Great wrestlers are capable on the mic as well as in the ring, here are 5 AEW stars who fit that description perfectly.

#5 Jon Moxley cuts impactful promos in AEW

Jon Moxley has recently been on a hiatus from wrestling. However, his skills as a speaker who is capable of swaying the audience is undeniable. Combine that with his wrestling talent, he has everything to mark himself as one of the best performers in AEW right now.

Jon Moxley's verbal fight with MJF was a treat to watch as he pulled out all the stops. The way he played MJF into risking his title shot established Moxley's character as one of the most entertaining performers in the business.

#4 Eddie Kingston is one of the best heel talkers in AEW

Eddie Kingston might not have a lot of wins in AEW, but he more than makes up for it with his exceptional promo skills. His character enables him a lot of freedom in his career to feud with anyone, and he has utilized that freedom very effectively.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, WWE veteran Dutch Mantell praised Kingston and compared his current character to Stone Cold Steve Austin.

"The crowd was evenly split which is what you get for babyface vs babyface. I think it actually helped Kingston more than it helped Danielson. It helped him more because now he's getting a character, like Stone Cold he could do anything now, he could do anything he wants to do because he's about half nuts. He won't try to be a good guy," said Dutch Mantell.

Despite his in-ring losses, Eddie Kingston is always praised for presenting a formidable opponent to any babyface he encounters. His recent match at Full Gear against CM Punk was preceded by one of the best promos of the Mad King's AEW run.

Kingston continues to be one of the best talkers in the industry, and it is exciting to see how his future promos shape up to entertain the AEW fanbase.

#3 Britt Baker is flourishing in her role in AEW

Britt Baker is currently the AEW Women's Champion and is holding down her spot as one of the best female personalities on Tony Khan's Roster. Her performance has firmly set her up as a strong heel.

Britt Baker's promos are impactful enough to have fans eating out of the palm of her hand. Her promo segment with Ruby Soho had the audience roaring 'D.M.D' at a gesture from Baker's wrist. Her power to make the wrestling community feel invested is unquestionable, and her promos display the power very clearly.

#2 MJF earned high praise in AEW for his mic skills even at his young age

MJF took AEW's audience by storm with his fierce words and intense dedication to his heel role. At a very young age, he proved himself capable enough to compete against the likes of Chris Jericho and dish out just as impactful promos.

The feud between MJF and Chris Jericho resulted in one of the most legendary promos of MJF's career. 'The Salt of The Earth' delivered some exceptionally strong lines to challenge Y2J's legacy. This firmly established Maxwell's caliber in making the audience get invested in his heel personality and despise him.

MJF has dedicated all his public appearances to staying in character with his arrogant, villainous personality. Such dedication to character, combined with his masterful speaking talent, makes him one of the best promo-delivering AEW stars.

#1 CM Punk made headlines with his entry in AEW

CM Punk's status as a legendary wrestler is hardly a matter of argument. His talent with the mic has made him one of the most captivating performers in the business. Whether 'The Best in the World' plays the role of a babyface or heel, his words have never failed to capture the wrestling community's full attention.

Ever since his debut in AEW, CM Punk has stood out on the roster. His reputation on the mic does full justice to his nickname, 'The Voice of the Voiceless.' Punk delivered an emotional promo, praising Moxley for his actions and bravery. This was very well received by the fans who hung on to every word out of his mouth.

CM Punk's immense skill as a performer has garnered wide acclaim, and he has firmly proven himself to be a fantastic wrestler to deliver promos.
