3 Recently released WWE stars who would be perfect for AEW & 3 who'd be great for IMPACT Wrestling 

The most recent lot of WWE releases came as a shock to one and all. There had already been multiple releases throughout the course of the year, and nobody saw them coming until the first internet rumors surfaced.

Well, it so happens now that many former WWE stars are now without employment. Some of them may soon call AEW their new home and others may choose to plant their flag in IMPACT Wrestling. Others, like Eva Marie, may choose to move away from the wrestling business, considering she's an established actor.

So, which promotion is the best fit for which former WWE star? Let's look at six names and see what may fit them best.

If you disagree, please sound off in the comments below.

#6 & #5 Lady Scarlett and Karrion Kross would do far better in AEW than their recent WWE run!

It is absolutely puzzling that WWE allowed a legitimate money act in Karrion Kross and Lady Scarlett to slip through their fingers. As the title implies, this author believes that these two could be an even bigger act in AEW than they were in NXT. Tony Khan is likely to see the potential that Bruce Prichard could not.

Reverting to his Killer Kross character, that first put him on the map in IMPACT Wrestling, the man is likely to be a future AEW TNT/World Champion. He's the perfect package in terms of look, size, and work. Throw in Lady Scarlett or even Scarlett Bordeaux as his valet and you have the making of a fabulous pair.

It's a shame that they were split up when Karrion Kross was brought up to RAW. If they do get lapped up by Tony Khan, they should definitely be presented as a pair.

#4 Keith Lee may be best suited for AEW

Keith Lee's case may be one of WWE's worst tragedies. Here's a man who has the size, the strength, and the athleticism. How the company could not see money in such a unique individual baffles the mind.

Because of his track record outside WWE, Tony Khan may want to lap him up. Imagine the incredible matches he could have with the likes of Kenny Omega, Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, and CM Punk!

#3 Mia Yim, however, may want to transition from WWE to IMPACT Wrestling

Mia Yim had an even stranger time on the WWE main roster than her partner! As a member of RETRIBUTION, a faction that went nowhere at all, she lost a lot of the momentum that she was called up with.

Remember how great Yim used to be as Jade during her IMPACT Wrestling run? With the Knockouts division on fire as it is right now, the promotion may just be the best place for her. The AEW women's division may be a little too crowded.

#2 Ember Moon could be a huge IMPACT Wrestling star

Whether it was on the WWE main roster or even in NXT, Ember Moon always shone in the ring. This is ironic, because she's been known for the 'eclipse'. Jokes aside, Mickie James will need worthy opponents going forward, and so will Deonna Purrazzo.

Ember Moon could fit the bill with ease, and take the fight to both of these talented women.

#1 Nia Jax, with all her WWE experience, could be a future Knockouts Champion

The AEW audience may not necessarily accept former WWE star Nia Jax. We know how the All Elite crowd prefers in-ring work to sports entertainment, and the former is not something Jax excels at. While she's certainly a prominent enough star to cause quite a stir if she goes to AEW, IMPACT Wrestling may just be the best destination for her.

The Knockouts division needs a legitimate star like Jax to bring more eyeballs to the product. Also the AEW women's division may just be far too stacked for any new entrants at this time.
