5 AEW stars who will be WWE Hall of Famers

#4 Paul Wight spent over two decades in WWE

A veteran of over two decades, Paul Wight is undoubtedly a WWE icon. He made his debut during the height of the Attitude Era, interfering in a steel cage match between Vince McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin in 1999. He managed to remain in a prominent position for most of his tenure with the promotion and was a trusted hand.

Even though Wight never fulfilled the unrealistic expectations of those who expected him to become the next Andre the Giant, he became a well-rounded performer with a great personality and comedic timing. He is undoubtedly a legend in his own right and will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day.

#3 CM Punk deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

Even though he left on unfavorable terms, CM Punk was one of the most popular Superstars in WWE history. He overcame a number of obstacles to form a connection with the audience and establish himself as a legitimate main eventer. Punk was also one of the first independent wrestlers to become a WWE mainstay.

The Chicago native will always be remembered for his incredible feuds with the likes of Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and John Cena. The "Pipebomb" is part of wrestling folklore and is proof that -- even in the 21st century -- promos should never be scripted.

While it's unlikely that Punk will have another WWE match, he will make amends with the company down the line and go into the Hall of Fame. The WWE Hall of Fame would be incomplete without CM Punk.
