#4. Noami could glow in AEW

The AEW women's division is the weakest part of the roster and it can certainly use a dose of talent.

Enter Naomi. It's amazing to think that the former SmackDown Women's Champion has been with the WWE for over a decade. But she somehow remains underutilized and pushed aside in favor of other talent.

Naomi is a likable babyface with a strong connection with the WWE Universe. Her athleticism is unmatched and she manages her character well despite limited opportunities. Her recent feud with co-general manager Sonya Deville is especially frustrating as it trudges along with no payoff in sight.

AEW could be the perfect place for Naomi to be treated like the top star that she is. At 34, she is young enough to lead the division as a fighting champion over the next few years, either holding the AEW women's title or TBS championship. She's also experienced enough to guide younger girls in the promotion.

If Tony Khan wants to raid the WWE women's division, he should look no further than Naomi as his first choice.


#3. WWE to AEW - Cesaro

It could be a case of too little, too late for Cesaro in WWE. The Swiss Superman is undoubtedly one of the best professional wrestlers in the world, and fans are desperate to see him in a main event or at least win a top title.

Cesaro got his biggest push in 2021 when he won a marquee match at WrestleMania 37 against Seth Rollins and challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. But since that high, Cesaro has unfortunately slid down the card. It's unlikely that WWE will push him.

Now if Cesaro jumped to AEW, he could become a top title contender. Imagine the awe-inspiring matches he can have with the likes of Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Kenny Omega and Adam Cole. Perhaps Tony Khan could give him a brief run at the World Championship, which would be a great acknowledgment of his abilities and drawing factor.

The Swiss Cyborg seems fairly content in WWE. But time is running out for him to have that one major title run. He should decide whether to stay in purgatory or try a new environment to boost his career.
