10 Wrestlers You'll Never See In AEW

Don't expect to see this lot getting a #AllElite Twitter post any time soon...

Samoa Joe, Toni Storm, Shane Strickland, and Jeff Hardy aren't just the names of a number of the eye-catching performers who were thoroughly let down by the routinely depressing WWE system in recent years. They also just so happen to be some of the latest faces to officially become All Elite in the wake of their sudden departures from Vinnie Mac's Sports Entertainment empire.

And while it does at times feel as though just about any star of reasonable value currently plying their trade in AEW's biggest on-screen rival or working their ass off on the indies could rock up in The Land of All Elite before long, there are actually a decent amount of world class workers or headline grabbing acts that you can almost guarantee won't ever be getting a "... is #AllElite" Twitter welcome from TK.

From controversial tag teams p*ssing off the folks providing the platform, to one-time All Elite teasers looking very much content to round off their careers elsewhere, these wrestlers just don't look destined for Wednesday and Friday nights on TBS and TNT, respectively.

10. Killer Kross (And Scarlett)

With the AEW President Tony Khan's recent acquisition of the Ring of Honor promotion came with it a boatload of speculation as to what would happen to the many well-known wrasslers very much linked to the brand at the time of buying.

And while TK didn't change too much coming into Ring of Honor's already announced and promoted Supercard of Honor show set for April 1, aside from pumping a ton of All Elite talent onto the card to hopefully boost ticket selling and streaming numbers, one of the only alterations the AEW leader made involved a former NXT Champion and his missus being left at home.

Both Killer Kross and Scarlett were said to be expected to appear on the show, but all talk of their arrival soon extinguished on the back of Khan's purchase of ROH.

The AEW boss would add that he liked both talents "a lot" when talking about their absence later down the road. But the fact Khan didn't move mountains to bring Kross in particular on board for his new project speaks volumes about the Control Your Narrative worker's chances of arriving on Khan's mothership any time soon.
