Thinking of AEW could get to build their brand around as a top guy. I don't think any of WWE's big names are going anywhere. So AEW will have to either get someone from NJPW/ROH/LU/Etc., or a retired/semi-retired guy.
Who does that leave that they could realistically get?
Omega is obviously the big one that people are buzzing around, but who else?

I don't think Kenny is going to AEW; I know, nothing's for sure right now, but if I were a betting man I'd say he sticks with NJPW and shows up for some of AEW's big cards.
It's a tough one, though, especially with guys like Keith Lee and Matt Riddle now signed to WWE.

MJF impressed with his personality at All In
Austin Theory I've never actually watched, but I've seen him on a couple of "guys to watch out for" lists and he had a WWE tryout. Great look.
Was WALTER signing with WWE ever confirmed?
EDIT: Not top guys now, but guys that could be in the future

They'll probably be a mad rush to sign Ronald McFondle.

The only real Aces in pro wrestling not signed to WWE are Tanahashi, Okada, and Omega. And Punk.
There are no other guys in wresting that could show up on Raw on Monday and be plugged into Mania in a high profile spot. The other top guys like Penta, Lethal, whoever would al have to go to NXT.

I think it’s safe to throw Jericho in there too. Pretty good list though. Without resorting to legends/semi-retired guys it’s tough to think of many. On the other hand there are A LOT of guys who could become decent aces with a $100 million company behind them. If they can’t get Kenny or the other New Japan guys I could see them nabbing Jericho for sometime since he wants to be the Brian Pillman of this generation and make everyone think he’s a loose cannon who could turn up anywhere. He may not be the ace, but I could see him Cody and some TBA guys (probably younger workers on the cusp of greatness) making up the initial main event scene for the company. I’ll be optimistic and choose to think Cody will put over guys rather than have that HHH stigma. |

There's only ONE ACE~! The reason why Japanese wrestling survived its great recession. He truly is a one in a century wrestler. Balor, Anderson, Bullet Club, Nakamura and Okada owe a great debt to Tanahashi because he saved the company from bankruptcy. |

Honestly, I feel like Penta would *want* to go to NXT, but the only two things that'd hurt him in WWE is if his English is non-existent and his proclivity for swearing in every promo. Otherwise, he's got pretty much every tool.  |
