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

30. Luchasaurus

Jurassic Express' resident big man made a great start to AEW life, highlighting many an early show with his incredible hot tags and ridiculous highlight reel moveset, though his progress was hindered by an untimely hamstring injury. Luchasaurus returned weeks later but looked noticeably slower between the ropes, diminishing his impact at a time when he perhaps should have been moving up the card.

Now back to his best, Luchsaurus is a ridiculously fun midcard/upper-midcard performer who has been protected well by AEW. He'd make for a cool fill-in TNT Championship opponent for Cody.

29. Chuck Taylor

Best Friends doesn't often get the credit they deserve, primarily because they are surrounded by world-class tandems in AEW's industry-best tag division, but they deserve props to rising towards the top of a pile including tandems like the Lucha Brothers, Proud and Powerful, and The Young Bucks.

This is a consequence of booking, of course, but their performances have been strong. Best Friends rule.

Chuck Taylor has been true to himself throughout his AEW run. An underrated brawler with an oddball personality, he'll rarely blow the audience away, but he's always entertaining.

28. Ortiz

That Proud and Powerful could have done more in AEW thus far is a fair assessment. Santana and Ortiz were one of the world's finest tag teams years before inking with Tony Khan's promotion but have yet to emerge as serious contenders here, despite occupying featured spots as members of Chris Jericho's Inner Ciricle. Regardless, the performances have been strong, they had an excellent match with The Young Bucks at Full Gear, and AEW can pull the trigger on them at any moment.

Ortiz is the hooting, hollering, and rope-biting loose cannon of the duo and a fine wrestler to boot. He has cultivated a stronger identity than many others in the promotion.
