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

63. Austin Gunn

Austin Gunn, Professional Fan of Professional Wrestling, has been an Empty Arena Era delight, with his high-energy ringside antics elevating many a Dynamite since the global health crisis kicked in. The guy has been a riot.

It's hard to gauge how much potential Austin has based on his limited in-ring résumé, though he hasn't looked out of his depth and at least has charisma. He, like Sadie Gibbs, could likely benefit from a busier calendar, though he has acquired himself relatively well so far.

62. 10

Preston '10' Vance is The Dark Order's goober bruiser. He's a slightly elevated enhancement talent capable of getting the job done against part-timers like Lee Johnson and Musa and may score a more significant role later down the line, but he's here to play jobber to the stars for now.

This was apparent on a recent episode of Dynamite, where he had his arm broken by Jon Moxley. He looks a solid all-round wrestler so far and brings something different to the Order's other masked losers.

61. Awesome Kong

A great Double Or Nothing 2019 debut aside, Awesome Kong's AEW run was largely disappointing until she shot off to film the next season of GLOW a few months ago.

Kong has had a long, hard career. She's also 42 years old. Time comes for everybody and sadly, in 2020, it has largely robbed the monster of her believability.

No longer the dominant marauder of old, Kong now requires extreme protection. She is exposed in longer bouts and is likely best suited to quick destruction jobs if she is to return to AEW.
