5 Impact Wrestling Stars Fans Would Love To See In All Elite Wrestling

All Elite Wrestling is off to a fantastic start with one show under their belt, but already the fans are getting behind it in incredibly inspiring fashion, and it's clear the future is very, very bright for AEW. They move to TNT for weekly programming later in the year, and that will be a big test to see how much staying power the company actually has, and with the roster they've assembled, we've got great confidence in them.

However, you can never have too much of a good thing, and with so many great performers out there, AEW have the very best and brightest lined up waiting to bust open their door. So without further ado, sit back and read along as we take a look at Impact Wrestling, and 5 stars from that great promotion that we'd love to see in All Elite Wrestling, whether it be in 2019 or in future years.

#5 Sami Callihan

While a lot of the performers on this list are here purely because of their in-ring work and possible matchups in AEW, but while Sami is a great performer, it's the character work that we love about him so much. The Death Machine has been tearing it up in Impact and MLW for quite some time now, and with AEW collecting quite a good hardcore roster (Havoc, Janela, Moxley, Allin, etc.), he'd be perfect for the roster. Sami has signed a deal with Impact until at least 2020, but following that, AEW is the perfect home for him.

But like everyone on that list, Calihan has much more to offer, and whether he comes on his own or with Dave & Jake Crist as oVe, he'd be a great addition to a flourishing AEW roster. He's got history with Jimmy Havoc, Joey Janela and most importantly Jon Moxley, and seeing him in such a creative environment would elevate his game further, so he can show the world just why WWE was foolish for letting him go.

#4 The Rascalz

Tag team wrestling is always one of the most exciting parts of professional wrestling, but for some reason, they haven't been featured properly in mainstream wrestling for quite some time now. However, over that time, there have been so many great times on the independent scene, and arguably the best one on the American independent scene right now is The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, and Desmond Xavier), and they're as exciting as they are funny.

They star in PWG as well as Impact, and with some of the most innovative and exciting offence in the history of pro-wrestling tag teams, they'd be perfect in AEW. We haven't seen them have long feuds with any teams in All Elite either, so the thought of them matched up with The Young Bucks, Best Friends, SCU, Lucha Bros or any other team is mouthwatering, and AEW need to make it happen soon.

#3 Tessa Blanchard

Women's wrestling is hotter than it's ever been right now, with Impact, AEW, and WWE all boasting fantastic rosters, but the best of the lot is the third generation star, Tessa Blanchard. Tessa competed at All In and the first Mae Young Classic, and even though she's found a home in Impact Wrestling, she just deserves the biggest platform possible. Her contract isn't up for another year, but at that point, the AEW women's division will be fully developed, and ready for her to make an immediate impact.

Not only is Tessa a fantastic in-ring worker, but she's one of the best characters in the entire business, and being on the AEW TNT stage with a talented roster consisting of Kylie Rae, Bea Priestley, Britt Baker and so many more would be much better for her career. All of these are fresh matchups for Blanchard, and if anyone is worthy of leading All Elite Wrestling's women's division into the future and to the success that we all hope and think they'll have, it's the best and most talented female worker in the business today.

#2 LAX

There are plenty of incredible tag teams in the world right now, and LAX (the duo of Santana and Ortiz) may be the most underrated of them all, and they deserve a much bigger stage. They've been incredible in Impact since arriving, and have also starred for indie promotions such as Progress, and with the tag teams currently in All Elite, they'd light the world on fire when the company heads to TNT.

Their characters aren't as fully developed as other tag teams in the world, even in AEW, but with that creative team behind them, Santana and Ortiz would be the hottest team in the world. Reports have recently emerged that their contracts with Impact are up soon, and it makes sense for them to seek greener pastures, and with an already stacked tag team division, seeing LAX against plenty of new, fresh opponents would be incredible, and we'd love to see it.

#1 Brian Cage

Brian Cage has absolutely everything it takes to be the face of a wrestling company, and for some reason, he hasn't made it big yet, but All Elite Wrestling would be the perfect place to make that happen. The Machine, Brian Cage has an incredible physique, jaw-dropping athleticism, and a great likability, and it's rumored that he almost appeared at AEW's first show, Double or Nothing, and where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

Due to his status with Impact, that didn't happen, but going forward, it's clear that Cage is just too big for impact (literally and metaphorically), and joining AEW would provide him with plenty of dream matches. We'd love to see Cage up against the likes of Page, Jericho, Omega, Pentagon, Moxley and so many more, and even if it takes a while to get him there, Brian Cage is a must have for All Elite Wrestling.
