10 Most Successful WWE To AEW Transitions
10. Brodie Lee
No one ever doubted just how effortlessly talented the towering ball of menace Brodie Lee was throughout his time under the WWE banner.
Whether operating as the unhinged variable of The Wyatt Family, a hugely underrated mid-card champ, or wreaking havoc alongside long-time pal Erik Rowan, the then-Luke Harper often felt like a performer whose potential was never truly realised - and likely never would be - whilst Vince McMahon was calling the shots.
Not even an unfortunately crowd-less All Elite debut in March 2020 after finally leaving WWE in December could keep the now-Mr. Brodie Lee from taking the AEW ball and sprinting with it, though, when finally given his moment to shine as a charismatic singles star.
Mesmerising those watching on at home with his equal parts terrifying and unexpectedly hilarious work when leading the once-doomed Dark Order, the tragically late monster of a performer bulldozed his way to an AEW World Championship war with Jon Moxley and TNT Championship victory over Cody Rhodes.
And it truly felt like AEW had merely scratched the surface when it came to what this all-round legend of a human could have given to his new wrestling home.
