10 AEW Wrestlers WWE Should Fear The Most

2. PAC

PAC, much like Cody, may yet become an aspirational figure to the disenfranchised WWE locker room - and his being the second ex-WWE performer to flourish outside of its umbrella may lead them to realise that Cody's success isn't an aberration, but the paved route to career fulfilment.

This is happening already, what with the weekly reports of widespread unhappiness from those willing to express it publicly and several more, per last week's Wrestling Observer, that have kept quiet. The actual sight of greener grass may accelerate this key development of 2019, and in PAC, AEW have acquired an extraordinary performer at the peak of his formidable game. Consider just how incredible PAC is between the ropes - he is, in power and spectacle, thunder and lightning - and then consider that his belated character development has elevated him, as an all-rounder, to Black Arrow heights.

PAC is a witty brute - "I can see you there, standing, your ar*ehole flapping like a napkin in the wind" - equipped now with the confident, unique promo game to excel across all areas of a pro wrestling television show.

He is far better than the great hand WWE booked him as - and perhaps the interchangeable hands of the main roster may wonder if they are, too.
