8 Amazing Wrestlers That Flopped In AEW

Colt Cabana became a significant name to wrestling fans largely due to his Art of Wrestling podcast being one of the first of its kind. This shouldn't detract from Colt being an incredibly charming in-ring talent, who understands wrestling fans around the world, and showed that pretty regularly as a solid comedy performer on the independent circuit. 

Cabana has spent most of his AEW tenure as part of The Dark Order. Aesthetically, it feels like an odd union, but he does fit with the idea that TDO are a bunch of outsider misfits who find strength in each other. He worked well as part of Being the Elite and felt like a believable member of the group when they offered 'Hangman' Adam Page support in his quest for his first AEW World Championship, but that never translated in the ring.

Largely appearing on AEW Dark, Colt Cabana is nowadays best known as the lightning rod for the controversy that surrounded CM Punk's AEW implosion. Staying away from that mess and keeping things purely about his on-screen work, Cabana has always felt surplus to requirements as a performer in AEW.
