10 Wrestlers Who Could Be AEW's HUGE Full Gear 2023 Debut

9. Zack Sabre Jr

Goldberg AEW
All Elite Wrestling

Technical wizard Zack Sabre Jr has been one of the most gifted pro wrestlers on the planet for a long time now. He's respected by all as someone who successfully marries a traditional mat-based British style with elements of Japanese strong style and more. He's perfect for AEW.

Imagine the matches Zack could have if he became a full-timer?!

All Elite's core fanbase loved every second of his smashing 23-minute classic vs. Bryan Danielson at WrestleDream in early-October, and it might be in Tony Khan's interest to have newbies check out Sabre Jr on his dime rather than fleeing to New Japan for another look.

Of course, this all depends on the terms of Zack's NJPW deal. He's currently signed to the iconic Japanese promotion, so who knows if Khan could eve negotiate to tie him down. This is all fun guesswork anyway, and stranger things have certainly happened (even fairly recently in this wacky biz!).
