Ups & Downs For Every AEW Roster Member

64. Shanna

Shanna AEW
AEW

Up

Becoming an early in-ring vanguard for AEW's nascent women's division, elevating several inferior workers to higher levels with her slick, composed work.

Down

A dysfunctional tables match to close her Dark feud with Nyla Rose, though this wasn't necessarily Shanna's fault.

63. Angelico

Up

Establishing a clear, distinct, and unique (in AEW) llave submissions style on Dark. Jack Evans is the flashier and more charismatic Hybrid 2 member, but Angelico has proven himself an underrated technician on the sly.

Down

A near-complete lack of character development since signing with AEW. Who is Angelico, what makes him tick, and what is his personality?

62. Alan '5' Angels

Alan Angels
AEW

Up

People tripped over themselves to criticise Angels' squash loss to Kenny Omega for going too long, but livewire showings in pseudo squashes such as that one earned '5' a more regular role in AEW, and he has since become a fun part of the reborn Dark Order.

Down

The excessive criticism thrown at said Omega match. Never before has such a well-worked six-minute TV match faced such scrutiny.

61. Tay Conti

Tay Conti
AEW

Up

Conti has only been under AEW contract since September but has already demonstrated great improvement between the ropes. While she remains an unfinished prospect, her work is crisper, cleaner, and more believable, and she comes off as a likeable person with a tremendous work ethic to boot.

Down

A budding tag feud pitting Conti and Anna Jay against Brandi Rhodes and Red Velvet has seemingly been forgotten about, though Conti has felled Velvet twice on television.
