10 AEW Wrestlers Who Are Impossible To Care About

2. Jay Lethal

Acting as yet another All Elite signing that felt as though it made next to no sense from the get-go, there was a time when Jay Lethal would've likely been one of the most exciting coups available to a highly enthusiastic roster-assembling Tony Khan.

2021/22 was not that time, however.

Despite sitting as one of Ring of Honor's most successful alumni and an admittedly well-known name within the wrestling sphere, for varying and sometimes problematic reasons, Lethal's introduction into an already over-flowing AEW mid-card felt like a fairly short-sighted endeavour on the night of his lacklustre reveal at Full Gear.

Sure enough, outside of a losing effort in his debut TNT Championship showing against then-champ Sammy Guevara, Lethal has offered next to nothing to All Elite programming. Contrived attempts to present him as a plucky veteran in bouts against Ricky Starks and Jon Moxley fell flat, and his presence beside Satnam Singh with Sonjay Dutt has done little to justify his AEW existence either.

Though he could still likely find a home within Khan's new ROH world in the coming months, you'd be hard pressed to find too many AEW fans being in a rush to follow him onto that reimagined product.
