I say Jeff Hardy. Imagine the Hardys vs. The Lucha Brothers! I'm almost positive that happened a few years back. It did, but I want to see it again!

Whoever they are, they need to go somewhere other than AEW. They had room for Adam Cole, I don't so much thing there's much space there for Tommaso Ciampa at the minute. There's going to be a big exodus from NXT over the coming year, and if one company (ROH, IMPACT) can attract the majority of that talent they're going to instantly become a very well-placed (if distant) third pillar promotion in the USA, especially IMPACT whose major problem these days is a lack of name talent instead of (as it used to be) their booking. I hope at least some of these guys are smart enough to realise that, after a certain point, being the unquestioned #1 or #2 in a mid-major is a better gig than getting lost in the AEW roster.

The next one to keep an eye on is Owens, because Fightful just now reported that his contract is up in January. Given he’s such a massive family man, there’d be a fair chance that he’s made a sufficient nest egg for them from the seven-year WWE run that he can just pursue the artistic fulfilment at his own pace, just as Moxley is.

Not sure but I do think that AEW runs the risk of adding too many people, too soon without concrete booking plans. They added two huge names last night and I think that's good enough for now. Maybe give it a few more weeks/months before others debut? True, though AEW isn't the only place hiring, even if it's the closest to WWE's exposure levels, etc. I could see Impact or ROH making a play for one or two people who are fed up enough when the time comes. I don't think that either is in a position to spree hire, but if they wanted someone to strap a rocket to, they could probably make a grab for a couple.

Right, maybe he sticks around, but I kind of hope he walks just since he seems to have mostly tapped anything he can really do in WWE right now, barring like maybe a big face tag team with Sami if they turned him back. They haven't even really done him dirty, he's just been there a long time and got wrung out.

Isn't AJ's up soon and Khan wants to get rid of him as he's one of the higher paid guys?

Cedric Alexander, Ricochet, Jeff Hardy and a bunch of people from NXT. I'm updating my list i didn't even realize that Jeff hardy was part of the 24/7 group on monday. The wwe have clearly given up on him so it wouldn't suprise me if he asked for his release.

I want Kevin Steen in AEW so badly I can barely stand it. Dude had been one of, if not my favorite wrestler of the last 20 years. Watching the WWE squander the guy and rob him of so much of what made him so great to begin with has been f***ing painful. I want that AEW, no-f***s-left-to-give, ruthless Steen run before he retires.

Updating this because, apparently, TLC (the annual "we really don't give a crap because it's December") has been cancelled, per Wrestling Observer Radio.

Cedric Alexander seems likely to go and I just don't see a future for Shotzi at all. If Shotzi ever goes to AEW, I hope she runs Jericho over with the tank. Oh damn, she could show up and spoof DX at Nitro. She's at the door and Tony Khan just opens it and lets her in.

I would like to see someone like Ember Moon get success outside of WWE. She can put on some killer matches but she’s never going to get far where she’s at.

I’m going to say Kevin Owens as it appears that he’s mentally checked out already
