#1. Current WWE NXT UK Superstar Blair Davenport/Bea Priestley

One of the best-known former AEW Superstars currently in WWE is Blair Davenport, formerly known as Bea Priestley.

Priestley was well-known on the Independent circuit before joining AEW in 2019 when she had initially rejected a contract with WWE in favor of Tony Khan's company.

The star went on to wrestle several matches for AEW throughout the year she was contracted, before the company decided to release her in August 2020. Priestley was reportedly released when she was unable to travel from her home in Japan during COVID-19.

The current WWE Superstar is famously in a relationship with fellow wrestler Will Ospreay, who is currently contracted to New Japan Pro Wrestling. The couple once lived together in Japan before Priestley made the move over to become part of WWE.

Almost a year after Priestley was released from AEW, she was snapped up by WWE and hired to work as part of their NXT UK brand. The star is currently wrestling under the ring name Blair Davenport.
