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

76. Christian Cage

Christian Cage has an outstanding mastery of the art form that is the TV match. The most recent example is his series with Kenny Omega: Cage is so great at a more resourceful craft that he belongs on it more than he does the PPV stage.

Tony Khan is a very intelligent man who grasps this specific expertise and will pay Cage a massive salary to instruct the next generation in a producer capacity.

75. Christopher Daniels

All but retired at time of writing, beyond sporadic appearances, one would hope that he will formally call it a day when AEW finally hits the west coast for a live event.

He's already AEW's Head of Talent Relations. He's a profoundly respected man who is tight with - and in fact part of - management. His sharp wrestling IQ and general good dude status should secure him an office gig for life, and he deserves every employee benefit.

74. Chuck Taylor

Continuing this theme, Taylor is a bright chap with the ability to get over everywhere with his irreverent creativity. He's also known for his brilliant commitment to and seamless arrangement of a chaotic plunder brawl.

He, too, is a potential management figure, if one you can't envision wearing a suit.
