WWE Roster Members Who Should Go To AAA

WWE’s acquisition of AAA has been better than many could have expected, with the product improving in both quality and interest, new stars being born, and decent levels of crossover between both companies. For the likes of Dominik Mysterio, Omos, Angel & Berto, the LWO, Natalya, and El Grande Americano, taking a trip over to AAA has been the best thing for their careers.

When looking across Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown, and NXT, there are multiple names who might also benefit from an extended run over in Mexico, wherein they can find new gimmicks, character development, popularity, and momentum, especially since they are otherwise struggling.

The Street Profits

• Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins have been starved of TV time.
• WWE isn’t using them, so they may as well go to AAA.
• They would add something different to the AAA tag team division.

For years, fans have been begging for something substantial to be done with The Street Profits, only for Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to have the most stop-start booking out of any act on the entire WWE roster. For whatever reason, they are not given consistent TV time, so there is nothing to lose by having them work over in AAA for a period of time.

This would instantly freshen up their act and it would inject life and star power into the AAA tag team division.

Giulia

• Giulia has struggled since moving to WWE’s main roster.
• Triple H has failed to make her a star.
• A fresh start in AAA would suit Giulia.

Giulia’s main roster run has been nothing short of a dud. Sure, she may have gotten a couple of reigns as Women’s United States Champion, but her booking has lacked any sort of creativity and conviction from Triple H, leading to her being stone cold in terms of momentum and struggling to find a consistent character.

Things are simply not working on Friday Night SmackDown for the former world beater, so a transition over to AAA could be in store. It is easy to imagine Giulia getting a chance to be more herself as an act, both when it comes to character work and her stiffer in-ring style too. Pushing her as a dominant force in AAA would be far better than the current position she is in on the blue brand.

Alpha Academy

• Otis & Akira Tozawa can easily get over with fans.
• Their comedic side would be a surefire hit in AAA.
• Tozawa can spread his in-ring wings away from RAW.

Otis and Akira Tozawa, despite their lack of success or wins, are pretty much permanently over with WWE’s fans. When looking at AAA’s affinity to fun, comedic, and unique acts, the Alpha Academy pairing of Otis & Tozawa would be an instant hit within the promotion without a doubt.

Not only that, but AAA would give a platform for both men to spread their wings inside the ropes, particularly in the case of Tozawa, who hardly gets a chance for extended in-ring time due to his status in the lower card on Monday Night RAW. Tozawa is a tremendous athlete and professional wrestler, and AAA can be a place for him to showcase his hard-hitting and speedy style.

Carmelo Hayes

• WWE’s booking of Carmelo Hayes has been unforgivable.
• He can hang with luchadors over in AAA from an in-ring perspective.
• Hayes could be a top main event star in AAA.

Carmelo Hayes has shown the potential to be a big player in WWE for several years now, but he has failed to escape the midcard void of obscurity. Outside of a spell as United States Champion, Hayes has been a mostly unused commodity on Friday Night SmackDown, struggling to get TV time over the likes of Baron Corbin and Trick Williams. To save him from being left on the sidelines, a spell in AAA could be in order.

Hayes has barrels worth of quality between the ropes and he can work a variety of styles, making him perfect to mix it up with luchadors in AAA and hold his own (look no further than his incredible series of matches with Andrade). If WWE made the bold move of having him take a trip to Mexico, then he could be in line for a main event push in the promotion.

2

Jordynne Grace

• Grace’s main roster run in WWE has been underwhelming.
• She can be the face of AAA’s women’s division.
• She has a proven track record during her time in TNA.

Ever since she arrived on the WWE main roster in 2026, things have not gone great for Jordynne Grace. She has struggled to get over with the fans while also being riddled with injuries and inconsistent booking, leaving her void of momentum and standing in WWE. If anyone was in dire need of a fresh start in the women’s division, it is Grace.

Heading over to AAA to lead the line in the women’s division would open new doors for Grace, with her having a proven track record of being the headline name in a division following her dominance in TNA’s Knockouts division. She can mix it up with new names, conjure up a new fanbase, and build enough momentum to re-find her spot on the RAW & SmackDown down the line.

Damian Priest

• Priest recently turned heel on WWE programming.
• His presence in AAA could improve his character work tenfold.
• Priest and AAA sound like a match made in heaven.

Damian Priest’s recent heel turn on Friday Night SmackDown was a much needed shift for his career and character in WWE, but another shift could open even more doors for the former World Heavyweight Champion. Priest’s in-ring style, aesthetic, and size would make him a formidable heel on the AAA roster, and it is something fans have already spotlighted as being a perfect fit.

Other former and current members of The Judgment Day faction have found a spot in AAA, and Priest can easily follow in the footsteps of the likes of Dominik Mysterio in becoming a hated villain in the promotion. There is a place for Priest on Friday Night SmackDown, but there is arguably an even bigger spot for him up for grabs in AAA.
