10 Trades WWE & AEW Need To Make

10. Austin Gunn To WWE

Austin Gunn is in the wrong promotion. In another life, he would still be learning his trade in the WWE Performance Center, having practice matches against equally inexperienced wrestlers and looking for a character to eventually bring to NXT TV. Like many second-generation superstars before him, Austin Gunn would be living the coddled life of someone who started life on the ladder.

As it is, Austin is in AEW, having middling matches that don't seem to show much in the way of progress. What's more, AEW seems to have decided that the best way to use him is by aligning him with his father, former WWE Tag Team Champion and career-midcarder Billy Gunn. If Billy hadn't been released by WWE, it is almost certain that Austin would be in that Performance Center today.

While we're at it, can we stop using the word 'Club' for factions? Bullet Club, Balor Club, now Gunn Club, it really is a case of diminishing returns. Gunn Club just ain't working, although it could still argue to be more effective than the Bullet Hunter Club, the depressingly awful former faction led by Billy's NJPW tag partner, Yoshi Tatsu.
