#4 Sting's WWE run was far from great

Sting's debut in WWE was seen as one of the most hyped moment of 2014. However, the handling of Sting's complex character could not have been worse. Fans were disappointed at how his story took shape and how their beloved WCW veteran lost against Triple H at WrestleMania.

However, he was given a warm welcome on AEW, and his bookings were handled to perfection. Although his in-ring presence is scarce, the veteran still excites the arena just by being ringside.

Comparing Sting's WWE and AEW runs, it is very evident that he has had much more success in the latter. Also, keeping in mind the wrestlers age, it seems highly unlikely that he will return to WWE before his retirement.

#3 Ruby Soho's abrupt release from WWE had a sense of finality

Ruby Soho is one of the latest additions to the AEW women's roster. Her entry into Tony Khan's promotion was teased skillfully before her appearance. The video, which she posted titled 'The Runaway', included a dig at Soho's WWE name when she came across a graffiti artist who sprayed "The Riot Is Over" on a wall. Judging by the crowd's reactions on her debut, Ruby seems destined for success in her new home.

The reasons behind Ruby Soho being fired from WWE are somewhat of a mystery, even to the wrestler herself. Soho has expressed gratitude to AEW for giving her the chance to focus on professional wrestling, even though she has fond memories of her time in WWE.

After the sudden release from WWE, Ruby Soho will probably not be interested on rejoining a promotion which had dropped her without a proper explanation. So far, AEW seems to be set to be her new home for a long time.
