#2 Cody Rhodes (Stardust)

Cody Rhodes

Juggling only in the lower and mid-card of WWE, the career of Cody Rhodes was going nowhere. Due to this, in 2016, Cody decided to end his a decade long run with WWE as he requested his release from the company.

After departing from WWE, Cody performed for many different promotions such as TNA, NJPW, ROH before pledging his allegiance to AEW.

At the start of this year, Cody signed a contract with AEW to serve the company as both an Executive Vice-President and on-air talent.

#1 Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho is one of the greatest wrestlers WWE has ever seen. Working with WWE over these years, Jericho has done every single thing asked by the company and has achieved feats that one can only dream of.

From winning every world Title to main event pay-per-views, Jericho has done it all.

However, this wasn't enough for Jericho as just two years ago, he decided to part ways with WWE after working with the company for almost two decades.

Following his departure from WWE, Chris Jericho worked as a free agent for some time, appearing at different independent promotions, before making a surprise appearance at a media event organized by AEW where he announced his loyalty to the company and signed a three-year contract shortly after it.
