Hypothetical- trade 10 WWE wrestlers for 10 AEW wrestlers (5 men and 5 women each)

For this thought experiment, I have 2 versions of it.

Version A is a trade of people that aren’t really being used properly in each company, and could very well de facto happen in the next 12-18 months.

Version B is the real hypothetical, where the companies would trade guys that would maybe be a better fit on the other show.

Version A

WWE gets:

The Gunn Club, Big Bill, Private Party

Kamille, Leila Grey, Ruby Soho, Red Velvet, Deonna Purrazzo

AEW gets:

Jeff Cobb, Gargano, Nakamura, War Raiders

Candice Larae, Michin, Nikki Cross, Piper Nevin, Natalya

Version B (gets a lil crazier)

WWE gets:

Edge, Christian, Jon Moxley, Sammy Guevara, Wardlow

Athena, Julia Hart, Jamie Hayter, Taya V, Queen Aminata

AEW gets:

Finn Balor, Chad Gable, Montez Ford, Dragon Lee, Ludwig Kaiser

Bayley, Chelsea Green, Lyra, Kairi Sane, Asuka

Again, Category A is more folks that either company aren’t really using right now, and are folks I could see jump when thir contract finish up. Category B is more folks that I think will stick around their company for a while (maybe the rest of their career, but would in my opinion benefit from a change of scenery eventually.

Let me know if you guys have critiques or your own list!
