All Elite Wrestling is off to a fantastic start and there aren't many criticisms that can be sent their way, but one of the lone drawbacks is the lack of true babyface stars on the roster. Sure, Cody is doing great and the company is also building the likes of Joey Janela, Darby Allin, and Riho, but with Hangman and Kenny Omega struggling to find their footing, AEW's depth issues might be starting to show.

With PAC, The Inner Circle, Shawn Spears, and MJF, it's clear that AEW has some fantastic heels, but without much depth on the babyface side of things, the company could struggle down the road.

Signing new wrestlers can't always be the answer, but with some established babyfaces out there, AEW could make a huge impact in the final few months of 2019. With that stated, here are five babyface wrestlers that All Elite Wrestling should sign before 2019 comes to a close.


A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

#5 Aussie Open

The UK scene has been fantastic for quite some time now, and despite many of the top stars being signed to WWE, there is one team that have remained strong on the indie scene. It's about time Aussie Open get some mainstream recognition.

The Australian duo of Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis have made a quick impact in the UK scene, and with their combination of pure charisma and amazing in-ring work, they are arguably one of the best tag teams in the world.

These two would fit in perfectly with AEW's ultra-talented Tag Team Division. Seeing Aussie Open head to head against The Young Bucks, Lucha Bros, SCU and so many more on TNT would be fantastic for wrestling.

The team has recently drawn interest from New Japan Pro-Wrestling, after they made their debut at Summer Sizzler in the UK, but AEW need to take a long hard look at these two, as they could be breakout stars in an already stacked division.

#4 Dalton Castle

In a wrestling world dominated by amazing in-ring talents, Dalton Castle managed to stand out for his flamboyance and sheer charisma. Castle also has an impressive amateur wrestling background. All things considered, the 'Party Peacock' is one of the most talented and exciting wrestlers in the business.

Leading into his first ROH World Championship win, wrestling crowds were solidly behind him. Due to injuries and questionable booking, Castle has unfortunately found himself at a standstill in ROH.

AEW has featured plenty of in-ring wrestling, and while that is certainly setting them apart from other promotions, the company needs more personalities. Castle is the perfect person to provide that, so AEW should be doing all they can to bring him in as soon as his ROH contract is up.


#3 Alex Shelley

Many credit the likes of The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, or the early 2000's ROH roster (Punk, Danielson, Red, Joe, Styles) for today's indie boom, but one performer that doesn't get nearly enough credit is Alex Shelley. Alongside Chris Sabin, The Motor City Machine Guns were the best tag team in the world for a number of years. Now that Shelley has returned from retirement, the big stage awaits him.

Shelley is currently working with ROH, as well as studying full-time, so an AEW contract may be difficult for this busy professional wrestler, but if there's anyway for both sides to come to an agreement, it MUST happen.

Shelley may not be as smooth as he once was, but is still a phenomenal in-ring performer. As an athlete and technical wrestler, he is still superb. With all the amazing performers in AEW, Shelley could finally get the recognition he deserves.

#2 David Starr

There is no greater unsigned performer in the world today than David Starr, and considering his public stance against the likes of ROH and WWE, All Elite Wrestling is seemingly the only landing spot for 'The Cream In Your Coffee.' The Philadelphia native has moved to the United Kingdom to hone his craft, and he's become an elite performer and promo guy in that time. Now it's time for the world to see just how good 'Your Favorite Wrestler's Favorite Wrestler' really is.

Starr is currently on a crusade to support independent professional wrestlers, so signing may not happen anytime soon, but if AEW really wants to show off the best of the best, than there's no one better than the aptly nicknamed 'The Best of the Best.' Ultimately, Starr can do whatever he likes going forward because the cream always rises to the top, and he's one of the most well-rounded performers in the world, but his abundance of talent deserves to be showcased on the national stage.


#1 Marty Scurll

Ever since All Elite Wrestling was announced, fans have anxiously awaited the debut of 'The Villain.' One of Being the Elite's greatest all-time characters is current Ring of Honor star, Marty Scurll. 'The Villain' has everything it takes to be a top star in any company, but has stalled recently in ROH. Whether he comes to AEW to help his friends against The Inner Circle or simply to do his own thing, he would be a welcome addition to the company.

His Ring of Honor contract is up in November, and while he will attract plenty of attention from WWE, a character with his depth would be a true asset to AEW, and that's where many predict he will land. While it's not a done deal yet, this simply makes too much sense not to happen.
