10 AEW Stars Set For A Big Push Following All Out 2021

3. Ruby Soho

The most obvious entry on this list, perhaps, given her All Out triumph (and impending Women's World Title match with Britt Baker), but Ruby Soho's Casino Battle Royale win should transform into something greater than a single title fight and whatever build goes into it.

Soho is a potential vanguard for a division that still needs seasoning. She is potentially a Serena Deeb-esque figure for this group in that she is skilled, experienced, and capable of lifting others up around her, but still young at 30 years old and an immensely pushable commodity. In addition, Ruby has tremendous goodwill coming out of All Out. Popular amongst her peers, it was clear from the moment she walked out onto the stage, with Rancid blaring around her, that she was overcome by the immediate sense of belonging in AEW. Buoyed by this moment and respected by her peers, she will do very, very well in this company.

Expect Ruby to benefit from an immediate focus and for this to sustain far beyond her Baker program, no matter how brief it turns out to be. The former Heidi Lovelace is exactly the kind of figure this division needs to build around.
