Predicting AEW's Next 10 Breakout Stars
5. Kip Sabian
You'd have gotten long odds on Miro making his AEW debut as Kip Sabian's best man. Actually, scrap that, you almost certainly wouldn't have been given odds on that happening, because it was beyond even the most outlandish of predictions. Many fans expected the former Rusev to show up on Dynamite eventually, but to do so alongside Kip Sabian? Riiiiiiiight.
But that is exactly what happened, with mixed results. The excitement surrounding the Bulgarian Brute has dissipated somewhat, but forgotten in amongst it all is the obvious faith that AEW has in Sabian. Great Yarmouth's finest was a somewhat anonymous presence in the background for the first few months of Dynamite history, but this pairing shows that Sabian is right at the forefront of the booking team's mind.
Where is the pairing with Miro going? That remains to be seen, but expect Kip Sabian (and future wife Penelope Ford) to be a major star going forward. The man has all the athletic talents that one needs to make a splash in the professional wrestling world, and his arrogant charisma makes him an easy individual to detest. Kip Sabian is a top level heel in the making.
