4 Underutilized WWE stars who would thrive In AEW

You could make the argument that the current WWE roster has more depth to it than it ever had and because of that, some of the finer talents in the company end up getting lost in the shuffle.

In recent years, we've seen an abundance of talented pro wrestlers from around the world show up on WWE's main roster, and due to a multitude of different reasons, they never seem to live up to their potential.

Like with anything else in the business, sometimes this is the fault of the wrestler, other times it's the fault of WWE's management. But, one thing is for sure, there are some WWE wrestlers who could be better utilized in Vince McMahon's company.

With All Elite Wrestling now in the mix for the foreseeable future, it's more important now than it ever has been to use everyone to the best of their ability, because if they don't, the following four names could end up thriving in AEW at some point.

#4 Cesaro

Most within the business believe that Cesaro has the potential to be a true main event level star on any roster but for whatever reason WWE hasn't allowed the "Swiss Superman" to fully reach his potential during his run in the company.

Physically, Cesaro has almost every single attribute that you'd want as a pro wrestling promoter and while he's certainly not on the level of someone like The Rock when it comes to promos, he does have good wrestling charisma.

On top of that, in the ring, he's one of the most versatile and talented performers in the entire world, so naturally, he'd be a great fit for All Elite Wrestling.

Additionally, the ex-WWE Tag Team Champion is a longtime veteran of the business, so while he's still in his prime, he could help pass knowledge down to some of the younger guys and gals on the AEW roster.

#3 Chad Gable

At one point, American Alpha, which was made up of Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, was the hottest tag team that NXT has to offer, and a lot of that is due to Gable's incredible talent.

During his time in NXT, we saw Gable go from just another amateur wrestler to one of the best performers in WWE's developmental system. But, after being called up to the main roster, he hasn't found the same success.

While American Alpha did win the WWE Tag Team Titles, it was quite clear that he company was never fully behind them, as the team was disbanded not too long after losing the titles.

When given the opportunity, Chad Gable is incredible in the ring, and he can be pretty entertaining on the mic. So, if he was, in fact, given the opportunity to shine in All Elite Wrestling, he'd probably become one of their biggest stars.

#2 Ricochet

As for an in-ring talent, Ricochet might have more upside than anyone else who is currently in the pro wrestling business. However, up to this point, WWE hasn't done the best job of presenting that.

Most who follow the business closely believe that Ricochet can, one day, be one of the biggest stars in the entire business. But, during his run on the WWE roster, he's been the subject of their typical 50/50 booking, which never does anyone any favors.

In All Elite Wrestling, it's quite likely that Ricochet would have a lot more freedom in terms of what he can do inside the ring during his matches, and on top of that, he'd be given a lot more time inside the ring from bell to bell.

Simply put, the best part of Ricochet's pro wrestling game is his in ring skills, and as of right now, it looks like Tony Khan's AEW would be a much better place to display his skills than WWE is.

#1 Asuka

WWE fans were outraged when Asuka dropped the SmackDown Live Women's Championship to Charlotte Flair prior to WrestleMania 35, and ever since then, creative doesn't seem to have much for the "Empress of Tomorrow."

Much like with WWE, women's wrestling is going to be a big part of what All Elite Wrestling is all about. So, naturally, someone like Asuka, who has been grossly underutilized during her time on the main roster, would be a perfect fit for a company that wants to come across as a legit sport.

There's probably no one better from bell to bell in WWE's women's division than Asuka, as she probably has more experience than any other woman on the company's main roster. On top of that, if used correctly, she might end up being the biggest name in women's wrestling, which would be a huge deal for AEW if they're able to pull something like that off.
