5 Former WWE stars that AEW needs

#2 Lady Scarlett is essential

Former WWE star Scarlett Bordeaux could become a big AEW player if booked properly. She's not just a pretty face who is a great manager, but she can go in the ring as well. Also, if point #1 is happening, Lady Scarlett needs to be lapped up by AEW.

It is crazy that a man who did so well in IMPACT Wrestling, Lucha Underground, and even WWE NXT did not go on to conquer the main roster. Kross has an X-factor that many Superstars lack. He also plays a deranged, unhinged dark character better than anyone in recent memory.

If allowed to have his way in Tony Khan's promotion, there is no ceiling for a man like Kross, who has everything going for him. In fact, he's almost certain to be a future AEW Champion or, at the very least, a TNT Champion. Let's hope that he isn't put into one of those ridiculous WWE RAW style masks though.
