Recent WWE releases: 5 Superstars AEW could sign and 5 they won't

4. AEW should not sign: Lince Dorado

AEW currently has two of the biggest luchadores in professional wrestling. The Lucha Brothers work perfectly together yet still meld nicely with the rest of the roster.

Lince Dorado is a veteran wrestler, with a debut dating back to 2007. But the masked wrestler might oversaturate the roster.

Dorado wrestled on the independent circuit for years, and during this time he would pick up quite a handful of different titles and awards. Dorado even made an appearance in a dark match on TNA during 2012, where he faced current now-AEW star Frankie Kazarian.

Dorado would finally break into televised wrestling in 2016, making his WWE debut. He spent his early days in WWE on the smaller 205 brand. In 2018, Dorado would form the Lucha House Party alongside Gran Metalik and Kalisto. The trio would eventually be reduced to a comical stable.

As good as Dorado is in the ring, AEW should not overload its roster with Luchadores just yet. Currently the Lucha Brothers are unique, but with one too many masked wrestlers it will end up looking like WCW.

At a later stage, Dorado might be a good addition, especially if he shakes off the Lucha House Party dust.

4. AEW should sign: Nixon Newell (Teagan Nox)

Nixon Newell is probably one of the most promising young female wrestlers today. Newell has been wrestling for a relatively short period, attributed to her age. She has wrestled with many different promotions around the world, where she interacted with many current WWE wrestlers.

Although Newell signed with WWE in 2017, multiple injuries would keep setting her back again and again.

Finally, in 2019, WWE fans got to see Newell wrestle regularly at NXT UK. She would feud with then-UK Women's champion, Kay Lee Ray, before moving back to NXT.

Newell would then team up with her long-time friend, Dakota Kai, and the two would pursue a decent tag team run. Newell would be betrayed by Kai at NXT War Games.

Newell made her main roster debut and teamed up with Shotzi Blackheart in July 2021. The two were fan favorites but never received a title shot. Newell split from Shotzi during the draft, but never made her singles debut before being released.

Whether it was due to the injuries or not impressing the higher ups, Newell never got a chance to truly show the larger fan base what she was capable of on the independent circuit.

With AEW, she could still pursue a good career, while not worrying about being released due to injuries. She would likely have to begin on AEW Dark before moving on to the main roster, which could give her a chance to warm up again.
