AEW Roster: Every Confirmed Name (So Far)
4. PAC
Saying that, nobody could blame All Elite for crowning former WWE man PAC its champ instead.
There's been a chip on the Englishman's shoulder since he made 205 Live relevant only to grow weary of the WWE lifestyle. After an extended break away from the ring and eventual release from contract, he's become Dragon Gate's Open The Dream Gate Champion and worked an absolute corker against David Starr for Defiant Wrestling.
PAC looks like a man reborn in his recent performances. His matches are crisp, and he's carried over that menacing promo tone (he's a "reet Bastard"). Come May, he'll head to Double Or Nothing, may well headline the show and could realistically become AEW's first champion.. That, way more than working in Japan or in his native Newcastle, will show WWE what they're missing.
