6. Big Swole To WWE

There is a lot to love about Big Swole. The Florida-native exudes babyface fire, accentuated by a physical charisma that cannot be manufactured. Swole may have found herself a little in over her head in her short AEW career to-date, but she has shown more than enough potential to suggest that a long career lies ahead of her.

Would she be better suited to developing in NXT? AEW's women's division is disastrously thin, meaning Swole needs to take a more prominent role than she may well be ready for. On the contrary, NXT's women's division is arguably the strongest in American professional wrestling, with Io Shirai standing atop a mountain that includes Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Shotzi Blackheart, Dakota Kai and plenty more. Swole would benefit greatly from growing underneath these established performers.

National television is a difficult place in which to grow, especially if you are being given a position that demands more than you are currently capable of. If AEW is able to flesh out its women's division then Swole may well be able to evolve in a more natural fashion, but that remains to be seen. As it stands, she'd be better off in WWE.
