10. Rich Swann

...including this guy.

It'd be negligent not to point out the legal problems Rich Swann had before his WWE release last year. Domestic abuse was and should come with zero tolerance, and nobody can blame WWE for acting swiftly to distance themselves from allegations lobbied against their Cruiserweight.

Still, the case against Swann has been dropped, he's protested his innocence all along and both he and wrestling fans have since moved on. Now, the ex-WWE Cruiser Champ is tearing it up in Impact as the reigning X Division Champion, and he's had a lease of new life away from 205 Live.

It'd be great to see him right the wrongs of before and get another shot. Swann has more personality than most on 205, and he was doing well before personal issues reared their ugly head; don't forget that WWE dabbled with something more for him too when he teamed with Sasha Banks at Extreme Rules 2017.

A second time round, he'd have way more to offer.
