Conti, Bononi, and Ogarelli are bundled together here, as each has carved their own niche in AEW after barely breaking out of the Performance Center in WWE.

Conti has experienced the most success. Demonstrating more visible growth during her nine months in Jacksonville than the entirety of her three-and-a-half-year WWE run, the Brazilian is a growing force in AEW's improving women's division and one of the most improved wrestlers in the world.

Part of a preliminary act with Peter Avalon, Ryan Nemeth, and JD Drake is Bononi, who has worked seven AEW matches to date. Ogarelli, meanwhile, now goes by his real name, Nick Comoroto, and is the powerful brute of QT Marshall's Nightmare Family splinter group.
