10 Wrestlers AEW Has Given Up On

10. Peter Avalon

Avalon's librarian gimmick seemed like a stretch when it debuted back in 2019, and it hasn't done anything for his standing with AEW fans since. Put it this way: Peter's last appearance on anything other than 'C' level programming like Dark was as part of the bloated 'Casino Battle Royale' at Revolution in March 2021.

His 'Wingmen' stable with fellow stragglers Cezar Bononi, JD Drake and Ryan Nemeth didn't really get going either. The fact that all four of these dudes almost got separate entries on this list perhaps says it all about where they are in Tony Khan's plans now it's 2022.

Peter might need a rethink should he receive another shot in between indy dates.

Does everybody deserve a second chance? Absolutely, but this would be Avalon's third. The librarian stuff has got to go permanently. It didn't really do much for him, and neither did an attempted rebrand as 'Pretty'. Maybe third time lucky for ol' Pete?
