#3 Joey Ryan
Joey Ryan as a character is great. He's a sleazy, filthy goofball who is overtly sexualized. His nickname is the 'King of D**g Style' for those who don't know but he's a hilarious character.
He's a talented wrestler but wouldn't be one that could be pulled off in WWE. He's also been pretty adamant about staying out of the world's biggest company due to the fact it would force him to move across the country and accept a pay cut.
Ryan has done work with the Young Bucks in the past and both are staples in the California/West Coast Wrestling scene.
Since he's on good terms with the Bucks and has participated in almost every non-WWE promotion, he's almost a lock to show up in AEW at some point. Ryan was one of the wrestler's who helped create Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, so he has experience in running a promotion.
To make a long story short, Ryan is the epitome of the independent wrestler and AEW is going to be a promotion that cultivates that in the business.
