Ups & Downs For Every AEW Roster Member
48. Colt Cabana
Up
Cabana's surprise AEW debut back in March provided a genuine feelgood moment in an awful year, as one of pro-wrestling's good guys finally found himself back under the umbrella of a major promotion.
Down
AEW hadn't built enough organic investment in Colt before beginning his Dark Order teases, leading to an indoctrination angle that underwhelmed greatly.
47. Emi Sakura
Up
That Riho match f*cking ruled. People often forget this when moaning about the Freddie Mercury gimmick and lack of build.
Down
Sakura's push towards said Women's Title match was cold. The teacher/student angle was there to be exploited, but AEW did little with it, leaving fans wondering "who is this Freddie Mercury impersonator and why is she fighting the belt?".
46. Evil Uno & Stu Grayson
Up
Grayson and Uno have always been awesome in the ring, despite the complaints thrown at their gimmick early on, with their most impressive performance coming in Fight for the Fallen 2019's three-way with TH2 and Jurassic Express.
Down
A stinker of a debut at Double Or Nothing 2019 that left the crowd chanting "who are you?!" as Uno sat atop a throne of weird, mask-clad goobers. Their 18 December destruction of The Elite was similarly harmful. Both stand amongst AEW's worst televised moments.
45. Allie
Up
Allie is outstanding in her role as 'The Bunny', complementing The Butcher and The Blade perfectly. This is moderately surprising, as she has always felt like a natural babyface, though this speaks to her skill as a performer.
Down
The Nightmare Sisters was a half-cooked act and Allie constantly felt like a secondary character, not Brandi Rhodes' equal.
