This might be our list's most surprising entry as with all due respect to Scorpio Sky, nobody saw this coming.

No one could have predicted that the SoCal Uncensored veteran would emerge as such a breakout star when him, Christopher Daniels, and Frankie Kazarian strutted out at the Jacksonville press conference back in January, but here we are. Sky is an AEW headliner in the making. Granted, SCU were already over as hell, he's flanked by two of the most respected men in the game, and his underrated skillset has been this refined for years, but Scorp's surge could now take him all the way to the top.

While Luchasaurus was the babyface standout of SCU's All Out battle with Jurassic Express, Sky excelled to a similar level on the opposite side. Then, on Dynamite #3, Sky was put over as he stepped in for Daniels to face the Best Friends in joggers and sneakers, with him and Kaz overcoming a significant disadvantage to progress in the tag team tournament. His performances in both bouts were exemplary. Scorpio can wrestle, talk, has a great look, is genuinely hilarious in skits, and his AEW run so far has been incredibly eye-opening.
