AEW MUST Sign These 7 WWE Stars Released on Friday, Including the Motor City Machine Guns

AEW probably has the best bell-to-bell wrestling in the world. Another thing they do well is put a spotlight on tag wrestling. It has been a weakness for WWE during the Paul “Triple H” Levesque era, and it’s why TNA legends the Motor City Machine Guns had an underwhelming run in the company.

There were rumblings that they could sign with AEW when they hit free agency a couple of years ago. Going back to TNA seems very unlikely, and there are far more interesting matchups for Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley as a team or singles in AEW.

Alba Fyre

AEW has made major inroads with European wrestling fans. It is why they can go to Wembley Stadium every year and do very well. So, former women’s tag champion Alba Fyre should be a top target in free agency.

She is a strong wrestler and gives them another talent that draws and keeps fans in the UK. Plus, her former WWE tag partner, Isla Dawn, is already under the AEW umbrella.

Santos Escobar

AEW has heavily embraced its working relationship with Mexico’s CMLL, as well as Spanish-speaking audiences. That is why it would be smart to scoop up Santos Escobar. However, unlike most of CMLL’s talent that perform in AEW, Escobar is fluent in English and can connect with fans of both languages.

Furthermore, he is just hitting his prime and is underrated on the mic while being a strong wrestler in the ring.

Zoey Stark

Zoey Stark was absolutely snakebit by injuries during her time in WWE, including tearing up her knee ligaments twice. However, when healthy, she was one of the most athletic and skilled female wrestlers on the roster.

Her latest knee injury probably took more of her athletic gifts away. However, at just 32 years old, she feels like a perfect fit for AEW and a fantastic addition to the women’s division.

Nikki Cross

Nikki Cross is such a talented performer who was handled poorly as a member of the Wyatt Sicks. Because WWE had trouble booking the unique group, she never had one match while a part of the faction. Her wild character work is always entertaining, and she is a rock-solid worker in the ring.

Furthermore, like Alba Fyre, she would be an addition that not only strengthens AEW women’s division but also the company’s links to UK wrestling.
