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

60. Bea Priestley

Still only 24 years old, Bea Priestley is a wrestler who could feature in many a women's 'Best in the World' discussion in time, though she isn't quite there yet The good news is that she's in an ideal place to develop: her home promotion, STARDOM, is one of the world's most efficient talent farms, helping the likes of Io Shirai, Kairi Sane, Mayu Iwatani, and more grow over the past decade.

Priestley has looked a performer above AEW's bottom tiers in her appearances for the promotion. It's clear, however, that the pieces are still coming together, as shown by her accidental injuring of Britt Baker at Fight for the Fallen and lack of standout performances since.

59. Peter Avalon

Peter Avalon has all you could want from a heel jobber. He's a good enough wrestler to take a beating, has an annoying gimmick that makes you want to see him get his *ss kicked, and seemingly has no qualms about being the ladder's bottom rung, hence why he features in the top 60 here.

Lowly card positioning means 'The Librarian' may never rise above this spot, but that's fine. Every promotion needs a jobber or two. Avalon is a good one, and one could argue that he should never win in AEW.

58. Sonny Kiss

'The Concrete Rose' might be the first AEW wrestlers fans could legitimately call "underused," as Kiss barely shows his face on Dynamite, showing up only for battle royal spots.

This is despite standing out in every Dark performance to date. Kiss is a great athlete with a unique, eye-catching moveset and bags of personality. We'll never know what he's capable of until he's allowed to test himself in a bigger spotlight, so it'd be nice to see this happen before long.

Until then, this is his position.
