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

Dolph Ziggler was part of WWE's system for a whopping 19 years before being released on 21 September 2023. It seemed like the dude would be a WWE lifer, but he's been exploring different projects outside the industry for years now anyway. There's life beyond Raw, SmackDown and NXT for Nick Nemeth.

That tenure (and the money which comes with it) will afford Nicky to get picky. He doesn't necessarily need to sign on for hundreds of dates per year, or anything like that. Besides, nobody's quite sure if Dolph had some kind of non-compete clause written into his exit papers.

If so, then he'd need to do a bit more waiting.

Ziggler/Nemeth is another who'd be a credit to the AEW locker room mind. He has the veteran status of Shelton Benjamin but way more star power, and he'd surely relish the chance to lock horns with some of Tony Khan's bigger names.

He's here to show the world, and all that.
