4 stars who shouldn't win a title again in AEW

Winning a title in a major wrestling promotion such as AEW is a key accomplishment that represents a wrestler's excellence and status in the organization. At the same time, it is expected that the champions will enhance the prestige of the titles they hold. However, sometimes when titles are placed on stars who are unable to live up to the ask, it could lower the championship's value and hinder the growth of the promotion.

AEW has seen numerous talents rise to prominence, and has been a home to many champions who won those titles due to their hard work and connection with fans. Yet, as the promotion continues to evolve, it's crucial to assess which wrestlers should be positioned in the title picture and who should focus on other roles that benefit the company.

With that said, today we examine four AEW stars who, considering various factors, should not win a title again in the promotion:

#4. Chris Jericho shouldn't win another AEW title

Chris Jericho is a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling and has held multiple titles in the promotion. He was the inaugural AEW World Champion. Even outside of the promotion, Jericho has achieved just about everything you can in professional wrestling. Now at 54, Jericho's in-ring career is limited.

His recent role, 'The Learning Tree,' showcases him as a mentor, guiding younger talents like Big Bill and Bryan Keith, and that is where Jericho can continue to be a valuable asset to All Elite Wrestling. Tony Khan must avoid reintroducing him into a title picture now as it could overshadow rising talents and disrupt the promotion's forward momentum.

#3. Dustin Rhodes

Dustin Rhodes has had a legendary career in professional career spanning over three decades. The 56-year-old currently holds the ROH World Tag Team & Six-Man Tag Team Championships, and these should be the last titles for him in the Tony Khan-led company.

Rhodes, who recently expressed his desire to retire soon, has devoted himself to mentoring younger wrestlers through his academy, and it's fitting as he is rightly focused on passing on the torch. This one is a no-brainer, but given the dynamic nature of the business, one can hope the Jacksonville-based promotion doesn't have him pursue a singles title before retiring.

#2. Nyla Rose

Nyla Rose etched her name in the record books when she became the first transgender wrestler to win a championship in a major American promotion, capturing the AEW Women's World Championship in 2020.

While her reign was significant, recent years have seen her being utilized to elevate other/younger talents within the women's division. As the division continues to boom with new faces taking center stage, Rose's role as a seasoned competitor aiding in the development of emerging stars is what will provide Tony Khan the most value. Having her chase another title may not benefit the company's long-term goals with the women's division.

#1. Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is a former AEW World Champion and a mainstay in the promotion's main-event scene. Up until recently, he was involved in a long and gruesome feud with current champion Jon Moxley over the very title. The Samoan Submission Machine currently holds the World Trios Championship alongside Opps teammates Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata.

At 46, Joe continues to prove just how vital he is to the company as a competitor. However, it is time Tony Khan starts booking him differently. Similar to Christian Cage's role with this group, Patriarchy, Joe's focus must turn towards mentoring and enabling the younger stars of his Opps faction. While we can't rule out a singles title run for Joe in the future, it may not be the most ideal thing to carry the promotion into the future.
