10 Wrestlers Who Are Surprisingly Not All Elite...Yet

10. Cole Karter

Cole Karter is a shining example of how to make the best out of a bad situation.

After a somewhat controversial policy violation led to his release from NXT, he was told by WWE management that he could be brought back to the company in a year. That was bitter pill to swallow for the man known as Two Dimes, as he had just become a regular part of NXT television alongside Tony D'Angelo.

However, the former Troy Donovan took control of his own situation by almost immediately after his release popping up in All Elite Wrestling. A handful of matches on Dark were topped off by Karter challenging Ricky Starks for his FTW Championship at Fyter Fest. While he has assuredly impressed the shot callers in AEW, the biggest sign of his future with the company came earlier this month when he joined QT Marshall and The Factory on Dark.

After impressing the wrestling world with his in-ring skill as well as his ability to bounce back from an unfortunate situation, the sky truly is the limit for the Charleston native. While he remains officially unsigned by AEW, it should only be a matter of time before the former NXT star receives his 'Cole Karter is All Elite' graphic.
