Every AEW Wrestler Ranked From Worst To Best - After One Year

By Andy H Murray /

66. Sadie Gibbs

STARDOM

An ideal world would have seen Sadie Gibbs graft on the indies and in Japan for a few more years before signing with a company like AEW, entering a mainstream American promotion with a more well-rounded skillset.

Scooped up as part of the great 2019 talent grab, Gibbs is an athletic phenom with all the potential in the world but boatloads of rough edges. She may need a busier road schedule than AEW can offer to iron them out completely. A shame, really, and she hasn't wrestled for the promotion since last October.

65. Brandi Rhodes

Lee South/AEW

The Nightmare Collective was supposedly a Brandi Rhodes creation. Comfortably the worst act the promotion has committed to beyond one or two shows, it (along with lacklustre in-ring performances at Bash at the Beach and Fight for the Fallen) is why she finishes so low here.

Rhodes is better suited to play a more straight-laced manager character. She's doing a decent job with The Natural Nightmares at the moment and was strong by Cody's side before. On top of this, she plays an important role backstage too, serving as AEW's Chief Brand Officer.

64. Billy Gunn

AEW

Billy Gunn is fun.

AEW know that they're doing with the player-coach, who rarely laces up and is only ever booked in light-hearted, entertainment-first spots that don't deprive a younger wrestler of a spotlight, while also shepherding his son through American wrestling. It works, and there's no reason to stop using him - despite his age.
