10 Wrestlers AEW Failed In 2022
6. Scorpio Sky
Scorpio Sky's on-off partner Ethan Page would've at one point been in the running for inclusion on this list, but the use of All Ego in this past month or so means he narrowly avoids that honour.
For Scorp though, it's been such an up and down year in 2022.
As part of the Men of the Year, Sky was a prominent part of AEW programming at the start of the year, and 2022 peaked for the star when he defeated Sammy Guevara in March to become the TNT Champion. While hope was high that Scorpio could embark on a great run with that prize in the same vein as a Cody Rhodes, a Mr. Brodie Lee, a Darby Allin, or a Miro, it was unfortunately at this point when the TNT Championship lost so much of its prestige.
That lose of prestige wasn't down to Scorpio Sky, of course, but more down to how the title was hot-potatoed from Sky back to Guevara, back to Sky, and then eventually to Wardlow.
A knee injury admittedly put Sky on the shelf after dropping the TNT Title to the War Dog in July, but reports last month noted how the 39-year-old has been cleared for "quite some time" and is simply not being used by AEW. Content was filmed with the former SCU man over the summer as part of his return to the ring... though nothing has happened with that footage.
So, Scorpio Sky is fit and healthy, his prior partner Page is now doing other things, and Sky is somewhat in limbo as we head into 2023.
