Looking at the available signees, I’d say in terms of star power he’s near the top of the list.
Love him or hate him, he was OVER in WWE and IMO, one of the best big guys in recent years.
Could he be good for them?

He seems to have friends within the organization, so if his body can hold up, why the hell not? He obviously is not a good worker but he is quite good at other things that AEW can put the spotlight on. I could totally see him as a babyface that defends the smaller wrestlers and has a buddy tag team with one of them

For some reason, I can't picture him being a regular, but if he popped up in a battle royal, etc, I wouldn't be astonished or anything.
I'm more surprised he hasn't appeared in LU or Impact or something.

He definitely should. He’s 37. Still young. I dunno how his body is holding up but as a big guy attraction...sure why not? Who knows maybe his persona would shine unfiltered too.

As a giant jackass heel, absolutely. Muscle for Jericho or something like that. As a WWE-style powerhouse babyface, no thanks.

I really hope not.
Seriously though I think he won't because I think AEW still has hopes of getting Punk in some role and hiring him would likely kill that.

he might be looking for a color commentator position as he's gained experience with the podcast

I certainly hope he shows up for a match or onscreen role even as a one off, I'm a huge fan of the big lug.

If he came in with a different gimmick or mask I'd be keen. Not as actual Ryback though.

Ryback's exactly the sort of guy AEW should go out of their way to avoid IMO - a roided-up ex-WWE guy, with limited ring skills and charisma, whose overness peaked years ago.

They really don't need him. Yes he was once popular for a while but is he now? Not really. Even when healthy after his WWE run was over, he wasn't like all over the place wrestling.

On the one hand, AEW needs some big guys just because they don't have any, but on the other, he is Ryback.

I could see his ego spiralling out of control there, but if you can rein it in, he'd be a good acquisition.

I don't think AEW can afford any injuries at this moment.
