10 AEW Wrestlers That Are Permanently Lost

Has the magic gone?

The Lucha Brothers Vs Private Party from July 15th 2022 should have existed to simultaneously highlight the evolution of the former and growth of the latter following some headline-grabbing scraps in the company's frenetic early days.

It was instead a listless tribute to the time, raising concerning questions about Marc Quen and Isiah Kassidy's development (more on that elsewhere), and if Penta Oscuro and Rey Fenix's peak in the organisation has already passed.

There are those that consider The Young Bucks' rivalry with the fellow former Champions as the finest in AEW history, and at least two matches stand up as easy instant classics. But are Matt and Nick Jackson not common denominators across the roster for that anyway?

Mounting injuries and booking inconsistencies aren't helping the cause, and wrestling's imbalanced give-and-take silent partnership between performers and promoters won't be aiding them either. All of this isn't to say the duo need to be gone forever, but it certainly feels like they're done for now.
