TALENT THAT TONY KHAN SHOULD SIGN TO AEW'S ROSTER
By BEN F. SILVERIO
Hallowicked
Debuting in 2002, Hallowicked became a haunting presence in Chikara, which has granted him his biggest accomplishments. If given a chance in AEW, Hallowicked can show off his impressive arsenal of skills that he’s built over his career, and he could join forces with former partners Ultramantis Black, Frightmare, or Delirious.
Laynie Luck
The Party Unicorn Laynie Luck started her party in 2015, which was a rager by 2017, as she started appearing in various promotions including Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling in Texas. Luck has received a shot at AEW, and she has the potential to become the next AJ Lee or Bayley of AEW.
Sunshine Machine
The tag champs of UK Revolution Pro — Chuck Mambo & TK Cooper, aka The Sunshine Machine — have proven that they’re a winning combination, with each having skills and charisma. Tony Khan needs to bring the duo overseas to get better, and with a little seasoning, they can face off against some of the biggest teams in AEW.
Bandido
With the persona and ring gear of a Wild West bandit, the fourth-generational wrestler Bandido has teamed up with people like Flamita, Ray Fenix, and the legendary Rey Mysterio. He was the second-to-last ROH champion before Tony Khan purchased the company, and even without the title, he can still be an asset to the promotion.
Janai Kai
After debuting in 2018, Kai blew up after her stint in RISE, facing the future Big Swole, Rosemary, and Ray Lyn, and made it big by appearing at GCW, ROH, Beyond Wrestling, and many more. Kai uses mixed martial arts and has an unparalleled striking game, which would make her a perfect fit in AEW’s Blackpool Combat Club.
