Ups & Downs For Every AEW Roster Member

52. QT Marshall

Up

The definition of From Undesirable to Undeniable, Marshall is currently performing on a bigger stage now than at any other point in his career, with an all-heart showing opposite The Butcher and The Blade in December 2019 his biggest highlight to date.

Down

While the Allie "romance" storyline reached the right conclusion, the beats were often predictable and unsatisfying. Great Bunkhouse match, though.

51. Kip Sabian

Up

A fun Dark match with Kenny Omega last December that left 'Superbad' looking better than ever. He is also very, very good when presented as the secondary to Penelope Ford's primary act.

Down

Tired, overcooked singles match layouts with an extreme overreliance on Ford's interferences, coupled with his flat heel act.

50. Big Swole

Up

An incredible From Undesirable to Undeniable feature early in Dark's run, immediately presenting her as one of the most sympathetic babyfaces in the women's division. This should have made it to Dynamite.

Down

A dysfunctional series of matches leading to All Out's cinematic match with Britt Baker. The three-on-one handicap against Baker, Reba, and Penelope Ford was a complete shambles despite the three-minute runtime.

49. Will Hobbs

Up

Aside from standing out with his awesome hoss power on Dark, Hobbs' heel turn was executed perfectly, as AEW once again rewarded fans for paying attention by ensuring big Will didn't put hands on any member of Team Taz on the road to joining the group.

Down

The cancellation of the six-man tag pitting Hobbs, Darby Allin, and Jon Moxley against Lance Archer and Team Taz curbed Will's momentum after an explosive angle with Moxley on Dynamite.
