10 WWE Midcarders Who Would Be Main Eventers In AEW

4. Ricochet

It's not just Aleister Black who emerged from his tag team with Ricochet for a solo endeavour. Ricochet is ahead of Black in fact, already earning a shot at a singles belt. Like Aleister, Ricochet is a promising young talent who could go either way in the company. The WWE's long term booking is notoriously spontaneous, making it impossible to predict where the high flyer will be a month from now on the card, let alone a year or two. Will he excel like other former indie darlings have before him, or will he become just another victim of creative, pining for his NXT days?

A former NXT north American title holder, Ricochet would have no doubt been crowned NXT champ as well, if allowed to stay there to blossom even more so. You can see why the higher ups were eager to bring up such an eye catching star to TV sooner than later mind you; long term plan or no long term plan. Ricochet also captured gold for Lucha Underground and has impressed in Japan too.

All the above make for the perfect ingredients for a AEW household name. Ricochet is a walking wrestling clinic who could reach an even higher level with the AEW roster on hand to match him move for move.
