8. Queen Aminata

You probs weren't expecting to see this name here.

Queen Aminata has been hyped up in various video packages explaining her Guinean heritage. Then, she's worked a few solid matches across the full range of AEW TV shows. All of them have been followed by gushing praise from the announcers and empty words about how she's "one to watch". Rinse and repeat.

This is a recurring theme with All Elite. Aminata's last mainline AEW match was a win over Anna Jay on the 16 February 2024 Rampage. After it, the commentators invited fans to invest in her and come along for the journey yet again. What journey?! She hasn't been on core programming since.

Anyone with a working pair of eyes can see that Aminata has potential. She has a great look, can go in-ring, and has an inspiring story to tell about emigrating to follow her dreams. WWE would do something with that; AEW really hasn't, and it doesn't look like they're going to either.
