Every Former WWE Superstar And Their Grades Since Joining AEW

3. PAC (Neville)

Dustin Rhodes
AEW

Grade: A

From the moment PAC returned to Dragon Gate in October of 2018, it was evident that WWE had mishandled yet another world class talent. The previous October, PAC- then known as Neville- was reported to have walked out on an episode of RAW where he was scheduled to lose to Enzo Amore. If it wasn't evident in 2017, it is obvious now that Amore defeating PAC was unforgivably poor booking by WWE.

Leading up to the inaugural Double Or Nothing Pay-Per-View, there were concerns about PAC's AEW future, as creative differences led to the cancellation of his match against "Hangman" Adam Page. Once he arrived permanently in AEW though, PAC has consistently put on brilliant matches with the likes of Page, Kenny Omega, Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, and Orange Cassidy.

Pac has proven to be the most versatile wrestler on AEW's roster. He's able to work with any opponent(s), put on excellent matches, and raise the stock of all wrestlers involved in the program. He delivered a ferociously, intense series with Omega, before pivoting to a fantastic match with Cassidy at AEW Revolution, which focussed on the juxtaposition of their characters.

The only reason PAC hasn't earned that "+" beside his A grade is because- unlike the next two wrestlers on this list- he has been unable to get into the AEW World Championship picture, but that time will come. It's hard to predict what is next for PAC- and Death Triangle- but, given his track record, expect big things.
