The Slipknot lead singer and avid fan of professional wrestling Corey Taylor would be a fantastic pull for AEW, especially with his longstanding friendship with Chris Jericho.

Taylor has appeared on Jericho's podcast (Talk Is Jericho) on three separate occasions, which clearly indicates that he has a working relationship with Y2J. In addition to this, the Slipknot frontman once appeared at a WWE live event - actually, their NXT live show at the 'Download' festival in 2015. Taylor was granted every WWE fan's greatest wish: he got to punch Baron Corbin in the face.

Alongside his NXT appearance, Corey Taylor has actually been tied with the brand since, with Slipknot providing the theme for NXT since 2019. However, the band's link with WWE would not rule out an AEW cameo for their lead vocalist, as evidenced by his brief clip in the Inner Circle's 'Manitoba Melee' just two weeks ago.

It almost seems like cheating to include him on this list after already appearing on recent AEW programming but he could be seen on future episodes of Dynamite or promoting an upcoming pay-per-view.
