5 Former WCW stars that might get used in All Elite Wrestling

#2. Road Warrior Animal

Will Animal return to AEW?

Of all the choices on this list, Animal has actually appeared with the members of the Elite. Before All Elite Wrestling was officially a promotion, he appeared at the beginning of All In when the Young Bucks and Cody came out to address the audience.

Road Warrior Animal is still in good shape for a guy nearing his 60s (he's 58) and he still makes some appearances at independent events. While none of these suggested stars should get physical, they could either enter feuds by proxy through a current star or be a mentor to one of them.

Someone like Jimmy Havoc or Darby Allin would make sense since they aren't traditional wrestlers. He might still be someone that hardcore fans remember. A lot of stars from before the 1990s are often forgotten but Animal was still around and relevant during the Attitude Era.
