10 AEW Wrestlers Tony Khan Has Totally Wasted

10. Samoa Joe

Might as well start off big.

Most wrestling fans agree that Samoa Joe could've been more in WWE had injuries not plagued him or Vince McMahon not viewed him as a mere utility player. That's why there was so much excitement when Tony Khan bought ROH and announced that Joe was now #AllElite.

What has he done since? The Samoan has worked six bouts across AEW TV and pay-per-view since joining on in April, but most of them have only been fun-but-forgettable. In fact, other than his battle with Adam Cole at Double Or Nothing, many would struggle to even name one of the six.

Joe has become a walk-in cameo king lately too. His music hits, people cheer, he intimidates someone then...that's it. There's no real sense of direction, or any sort of meaty feud for Joe to sink his teeth into across Dynamite and Rampage.

He's just sort of there, which is a total waste.
