As already alluded to by Tony Khan himself during his game-changing ROH Dynamite announcement and your writer over the course of this list already, Ring of Honor's fingerprints can be seen all over the current All Elite Wrestling landscape.

At the current time of writing, around 40 talents currently signed to TK's promotion have at one time plied their trade in an ROH ring. Among those stars of their generations are the likes of the already noted Danielson, Punk, Daniels, Cole, Young Bucks, Lethal, and O'Reilly, with the current World Champion Hangman Adam Page, AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker, Bobby Fish, Eddie Kingston, Kenny Omega, Matt Hardy, and so many more all forming part of the once-hot-as-hell promotion's legacy.

In case it needed to be said, ROH's reach also stretches outside of AEW, too, with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, AJ Styles, Cameron Grimes, Johnny Gargano, and Tommaso Ciampa being just a number of WWE talents who all spent time in Ring of Honor during their days before landing in Vince McMahon's empire.

In short, if they're one of the most jaw-dropping talents you've ever seen on your AEW or WWE product, there's a strong chance they popped up in ROH first.
