I think Keith Lee ,Mia Yim are top choices.
I honestly dont see much on Ember Moon.

Lee is obviously a no brainer.
Ember is still a damn good wrestler, so I wouldn't be mad if they signed her as well.
I'm not really a Mia Yim fan, but I could see why they'd give her a shot.

Keith Lee is an absolute no brainer.
I'd really like to see what Ember Moon can do in AEW.

I'd say Keith and Ember are the must hires. I would want to see Mia wrestle first since she hasn't in a long time. Gran Metalik could also be a good hire but I'd want to see what he can do after being forced into doing an entirely different style for a few years. But if he still has it, bring him in.

Ember Moon has always just seemed like Naomi if she was a "darker" type character.
You can just do that with Naomi if that's what you want on your wrestling show.

Keith Lee is only not a no-brainer if he needs to outright retire due to his health issues. But then, I imagine he would have done that already if he thought it was necessary. If he needs time off, it's worth AEW's time to get him under contract and help him do whatever he needs to do, because it's Keith friggin' Lee. If they're willing to sign someone like Jade Cargill or Anthony Ogogo and train them from scratch, it can't be a less wise expense to hire a near-guaranteed mega-star and do whatever it takes to make that stardom happen.

Also: get AQA (formerly Zayda Ramier) on Dark. She's not an instant signing like Athena/Ember Moon, or Rok-C from ROH, but she is the right kind of person to have in the lower card working on her craft and moving up the ranks as she improves. I really hope she isn't lost in the shuffle because she's one of the more minor names who got released without really getting a shot in NXT.

There should be a priority in getting solid female workers like Ember in right now. It's great that Ruby made a connection with the audience but she'd have been worth it just to have someone who knows how to work with girls of all experience levels. Folks like Anna Jay and Jade learn a lot from working with them. I'm not as down on the Bunny as some are but you should try to find someone at a higher level work wise to take some of that role from her.

I hope he signs Lince Dorado, solely to book him in a feud with Eddie Kingston involving Dorado getting massacred

Outside of the obvious ones, I just feel Biff Busick (Oney Lorcan) is such an AEW type talent. Tremedous worker, can bump like a mad man, has great energy, connects with crowds, works well as face or heel. Definitely see him as a midcard talent that after an initial run on tv settles into the Dark/Elevation roster nicely.

Ember didn't have a ton of character going on but I hesitate to blame WWE for someone being empty and not having character hooks. That's just how WWE books people.

Keith, Ember/Athena, and Mia Yim like others have said. The last two would freshen up the women's division even more.

People I think have the highest chance of showing up in AEW:
- Keith Lee - Mia Yim - Ember Moon - Biff Busick - Mascara Dorada
Outside chance:
- Kross - Scarlett - Taya Valkryie - AQA - Lince Dorado - Blake Christian
Don't see it happening/Never know:
- Nia Jax - Jeet Rama - Harry Smith - Eva Marie - Katrina Cortez - B-Fab
Only reason I list ones as "don't see happening" is I just don't see a spot for them at the moment. Maybe outside of some AEW DARK appearances for the likes of a Cortez or Rama.

On the women's side of things: it really helps that the TNT title established the network titles as friendly to open challenges, because thanks to that, wrestlers like Rok-C, Taya Valkyrie, and Athena should have a really easy time just showing up and having an eventful debut.

If Kross gets hired, he becomes the new bar. "They passed on (X) but they hired Kross?" posts for years. Dude would not work out in an AEW environment

I doubt B-Fab will be outright signed as we don’t know much about her and she hasn’t been in the business very long but should she choose to remain wrestling she will probably make the occasional Dark appearance while building a resume on the indies.
