That sure as hell doesn't sound like something Tony Khan would say or do!

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. I still think Blake Christian is going back to NJPW Strong.

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. He’s very good friends with OC, Chuck and Trent as well. I bet we’ll see him in AEW in one way or another.

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 They found a way to make Hager work. That aside, the only way I see Kross getting in is if Tony's interested in Scarlett, because I get the impression he's too nice of a guy to hire someone without also (eventually) hiring their partner (if they're available and involved in the business).

Hager remains the weakest part of the Inner Circle and his role could easily be replaced by a broomstick with MMA gloves taped to the handle and a vacant expression drawn onto the bristles.

"Dumb Jock" Hagar was amusing to me
I even thought that "MMA" match was interesting as a one off special attraction

I'll admit that I'd be intrigued by a Nia Jax vs Nyla Rose match, but after that, I'd be okay never seeing Nia again.

At the same time, he's also kind of proof that Kross isn't radioactive. Though I find Kross to be ultra-boring, so I don't really want to see him pop up anywhere anyway.

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. I fail to see the similarities between Ember and Naomi besides being black…

Kross and Scarlett could work. That being said? Unless Lee's health has taken a huge toll on what he can and can't do in the ring? There's no way Tony isn't talking about him and then by proxy Mia Yim being signed to help the women's roster.

I mean...Yim was a sought after free agent for a long time so it's not like she'd be a proxy hiring.

I want AEW to hire Mia Yim because she's talented. I just figure it'd be easier to sign them both as a package deal because they're both right there. If Keith and Mia weren't engaged I'd still want them both to be signed... they've both been wrestlers for a long time and a lot of that time they weren't dating. It just happens to be that way now.

Killer Elite Squad vs Lucha Bros would be a belter
