10 Trades WWE & AEW Must Make In 2024

9. DIY To AEW

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa would be a neat addition to All Elite's tag-team roster. They're awesome together, but will likely never get the credit they deserve on WWE TV. Sure, there's time for that to change, but the E's reintroduction of DIY has been a little low-key and humdrum.

Both are perfect for AEW.

Bouts vs. FTR, The Young Bucks, Gates Of Agony, The Acclaimed, The Gunns and more would appeal to hardcore fans who adore how AEW spotlights old-school sensibilities on the tag side. Plus, Gargano and Ciampa would definitely experience a new lease of life if freed from the shackles of WWE's more restrictive match layouts.

At first, Imperium duo Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci starred in this spot, but they're better off beside GUNTHER. Nah, it'd be 100x better if DIY inked a deal with Tony Khan, became All Eliters and matched up against all comers on Dynamite, Collision and AEW pay-per-view in 2024.
