Whether it's getting misused on the main roster or stuck in mind-numbing storylines, there are a bunch of signed WWE talent that could benefit from a change of scenery.
Here are 5 current WWE stars that could and should sign with AEW in 2022.
#5. AEW prediction - Sami Zayn
When reports emerged that Kevin Owensβ WWE contract was coming to an end, it was reported that his best friend Sami Zaynβs was nearly up too. While KO eventually re-signed, Zayn's current contract situation is still unclear.
The former NXT champion is doing some of the best heel work in his career right now, but he is still grossly underutilized. His recent interaction with Brock Lesnar on SmackDown has been great television, but what Zayn got in return was a slide back down to the mid-card scene. Now, he's entered the Intercontinental title mix once more.
Zayn has all the potential to be both a top heel and babyface wherever he goes, and AEW could be the place for him to feel like a top star once again outside of WWE. He has had a previously successful run in the indies and has crossed paths with a number of AEW stars. We all know he can go in the ring. Coupled with his captivating promo skills, Zayn would be a great addition to the AEW roster.
