Predicting Where Every AEW Wrestler Will Be In 5 Years' Time

34. Powerhouse Hobbs

After Private Party, Hobbs needs to catch the next plane to New Japan, in which a G1 run would do so much to sharpen his glorious raw potential. There are times he still looks uncertain.

Mutilating SANADA on the regular would sharp fix that, after which he can and should realise his TNT Title-level ambitions.

33. 10

Very well-liked and an incredible athlete, 10 can be filed amongst the "needs reps but where the hell from in this pandemic?" ranks.

As a result, he's a really tough one to predict.

The queue is just too long to forecast anything beyond another "door's always open" scenario.

32. Peter Avalon

A funny act beloved amongst the ultra-dedicated, Pretty Peter had a chance to adapt his talents to the big stage in 2021, but the Wingmen felt like they were chasing memes, which is how memes tend not to happen.

A talented guy in a promotion teeming with Elite-level players, Avalon is destined to make you remember how funny he is on the indie circuit in the years to come.
