In the two years of its existence, AEW has collected a range of highly talented pro-wrestlers to expand its roster. Members involve veterans such as Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian, worldwide superstars such as CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, youngsters like Jungle Boy and MJF, and legends such as Sting, Tully Blanchard, and Arn Anderson.
WWE is known for its fetish of tall superstars who are inevitably pushed to stardom with no emphasis on their in-ring mobility. The likes of Giant Gonzalez, Kurrgan, and The Great Khali are prime examples of WWE's love for giants.
AEW seeks to deliver a distinct style of entertainment but, in the larger-than-life world of pro-wrestling, giants inescapably locate their spots. AEW, too, has their fair share of super-tall stars, with their largest performer the most recent signing of the promotion.
Here is a list of the five tallest wrestlers on the AEW roster.
#5 AEW star Luchasaurus (6'5")
A member of The Jurassic Express, Luchasaurus is a fan favorite. He's a big man, standing at 6'5", but his in-ring mobility and implementation of a wide range of moves often make the spectator forget the detail. His arsenal includes a standing moonsault, which seems impossible for someone his size. Powerful and agile, Luchasaurus is an AEW star with a bright future.
Before joining AEW, the company's resident fighting dinosaurs used to wrestle in the indies, Lucha Underground, and WWE. In WWE NXT, he was the dark Judas Devlin, a contrasting character from the Luchasaurus of today. Devlin almost joined the Wyatt Family but plans changed and his fate has led him to walk alongside Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt, two comparatively tiny men who lead him to look even bigger.
#4 AEW star Cezar Bononi (6'6")
Current AEW performer Cezar Bononi's run in WWE NXT started with promise. In 2017, he defeated Andrade Cien Almas and received the year-end award of Future Star of NXT. However, the follow-up to the award-winning year was underwhelming. Bononi languished for three years before being released from his contract. He started working for AEW soon after, making appearances at the company's YouTube shows.
Bononi, a member of the AEW faction The Wingmen, stands at 6'6" and has shown steady improvement as a pro-wrestler. He may not frequently appear on AEW Dynamite, pay-per-views, and may lose most matches, but if he shows enough improvement and can impress the higher-ups, he may turn into yet another AEW success story.
#3 AEW and Bellator star Jake Hager (6'7")
Jake Hager's stint in WWE ended after two world championship wins, Money In The Bank victory, and the US Championship in his early days before being relegated to the lower mid-card for the rest of his career.
AEW has used Hager remarkably well by aligning him with The Inner Circle. With solid workers such as Santana, Ortiz, and Chris Jericho surrounding Hager, he aces his role as the enforcer of the faction, being the centerpiece of many beatdowns. Hager's tall frame and his unbeaten MMA experience help him flawlessly execute the enforcer position.
#2 AEW Men's Casino Battle Royale winner Lance Archer (6'8")
Lance Archer, currently positioned as a prominent AEW star, is a globetrotter amongst wrestlers. He's been wrestling for two decades and his career has seen him wrestle for the likes of WWE, TNA, NJPW, NWA, Noah, and numerous other promotions. After achieving some success in Japan, where he was an integral component of Suzuki-gun, Archer arrived in AEW and soon found Jake "The Snake" Roberts in his corner.
While Archer has never had championship success in the AEW, he has consistently been shown to be dominant in the ring and it's only a matter of time for him to win a title in the Tony Khan-led promotion. Standing at 6'8" tall, the monstrous Texan is surprisingly agile for his size.
#1 Recent AEW signee Satnam Singh (7'2")
Satnam Singh's All Elite announcement was a surprise of sorts. AEW has consistently boasted a roster full of experienced wrestlers, although rookies such as Jade Cargill have been provided the opportunity to become a star. The gigantic Indian, who stands at 7'2", has no pro-wrestling experience. He was a part of a WWE tryout in 2017, but his real achievement is in basketball.
Singh was the first Indian to be drafted by the NBA, breaking many generalizations along the way. He's also been a part of the Indian National Team on many occasions. Tony Khan has explained his decision to sign him by citing the need to grow a generation of homegrown AEW stars. As a basketball player, Singh is undoubtedly agile and it's to see if he manages to evolve into a pro-wrestling star.
