10 Unique Pitches To Save Struggling AEW Stars

Another wrestler who would greatly benefit from that AEW Cruiserweight Championship concept would be Matt Sydal. At this point, it's been clear for more than a few years that he's not going to be given a more prominent spot in even the midcard title scene. Currently, he's out of action after undergoing foot surgery, but prior to that, he still was only barely being used on television, and rarely ever winning when he was.

Sydal is a veteran who has some wisdom to impart, and it would be worth swapping him into Lio Rush's spot as an ally of Top Flight. Rush fits that team on paper for his style, but not his attitude, whereas Sydal has had some history teaming with Darius and Dante Martin, so there's a foundation to build from.

At 41, he's not going to be soaring the skies for another 20 years, but he can pass on what he's learned to the younger generation and be booked as an example of what they can all strive for. This could even set him up for his eventual retirement, where he can be touted as one of the best high-flyers of that generation, rather than being forgotten.
