#2. Mil Muertes rises

An older veteran wrestler, Ricky Banderas has had one of the most storied careers in pro wrestling. Making a name for himself in AAA, he would go on to wrestle in various companies in both the US and Mexico.

Banderas competed in promotions including Impact, MLW and Lucha Underground. During his time in Lucha Underground, Banderas would perfect his character Mil Muertes, a large, burly luchador risen from the dead who felt like a cross between The Undertaker and Batman's Bane.

Like Rush, Mil Muertes is a very physically imposing wrestler who prefers a heavy-hitting, ground-and-pound style compared to other luchadors. It's for this very reason that he remains unique--whereas other luchadors may be flying off the ropes,

Muertes favors a stiff right hand or spear to win his matches. Seeing such an unorthodox luchador in AEW would be an interesting addition to the roster. This is especially true given Muertes' ability to wrestle in the more violent, hardcore matches that All Elite Wrestling seems to favor.


#1. Bandido goes All Elite

One of the most accomplished and popular luchadors working today, Bandido is almost certainly the future of luchador-based wrestling. Though young, he's had an unbelievably successful career so far, winning various titles and world championships from some of the world's foremost wrestling organizations. His career has taken him from Mexico to America to Japan, with Bandido being featured as a headline performer each time he appears.

Having been in the main event of All Out alongside Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio, Bandido would be an ideal signee to AEW. His in-ring chemistry is great with virtually everyone he works with, and he would make a natural ally with someone like Rey Fenix.

What AEW is really missing right now is a decent singles luchador competitor. Knowing that, what better choice is there than Bandido?
