Every AEW Wrestler Ranked From Worst To Best - After One Year

36. Marq Quen

Quen is Private Party's cleaner worker, hence why he is positioned above Isiah Kassidy.

The latest episode of Dynamite also featured some excellent selling from the high-flyer. He sold a worked knee injury so convincingly he had internet fans mistaking it for a shoot in the opening six-man tag, showcasing a vital pro-wrestling skill, particularly as he typically takes much of the heat in Private Party's matches.

35. Jake Hager

The Jake Hager experiment faltered when he faced Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. It stumbled before that, with Hager's Revolution clash with Dustin Rhodes a certified plodder, though the empty arena brawl was the moment the penny dropped for many. The spirit of Jack Swagger lives on.

Hager's bright spots have come in smaller roles, with his debut on Dynamite's maiden episode a real highlight. He looked like a killer that night and did a good job as Chris Jericho's strong, silent bodyguard, progressing nicely to a monstrous role murdershagging jobbers after the Dustin bout. From there, the wheels came off.

While still a string peripheral figure, 'The Big Hurt' won't become a star here.

34. Wardlow

Speaker of murdershaggers, Wardlow's recent squash matches have been awesome, as MJF's bruiser bulldozed his way through overmatched goobers with impactful throws, bombs, and the best release suplex in the game.

Wardlow also played a perfect role opposite Cody in their pre-Revolution cage match. That bout's structure was designed with highlighting his skills in mind and the big man upheld his end of the bargain, bringing a slow progression of moves culminating in an unlikely Swanton Bomb, prior to his inevitable defeat.

The problem with Wardlow is that we haven't seen enough of him to gauge his ceiling, nor have we heard him cut a promo. He looks good at the moment, though.
