11 Times Wrestlers Bet On Themselves ... And LOST!

[@MichaelBurmy]

Kiera Hogan left TNA because she was tired of being a sidekick...only to sign with AEW where she'd be booked as the sidekick to a sidekick to another sidekick.

[@ramirorodriguez857]

If Jeff didn't get arrested. Their story could have finished. It was their time, too. AEW put them into a position to go out on top

[@PWAandWJSC]

To me the strongest WWE to AEW move was Samoa Joe. Double champion with the ROH TV and TNT championships, was cm punks final aew feud, stepped in and held the ROH Tag Titles with MJF before turning heel and winning the AEW World Championship from him. Easily the best move to AEW anyone has made.

[@TBODZ]

He never won the tag titles with MJF?

[@khesipresents1885]

Toni,Joe,mox,Christian are the only relevant guys who went from wwe to aew that's like 5% of all the guys that went to aew

[@teamtim87]

I feel like KENTA yelling "RESPECT ME!" was him low-key talking to management.

[@dylanogg347]

Can you blame him? Despite all the great talent in the Cruiserweight Division, Vince slapped the belt on Enzo Amore.

[@whoiamiamnot2104]

Said it before I'll say it again. People underestimated how much Zelina Vega did for Andrade. Yes he is absolutely money in ring. But his English is not good enough to cut a promo. AEW tried to give him managers and have him speak for himself. It didn't work.

[@brianescamila1211]

The best WWE to AEW is swerve Strickland by far!!!

[@ericrivera8146]

EC3 and Rockstar Spud was a winning como, they should have kept them together in WWE.

[@claymathewselevator8121]

YES

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Love Rockstar Spud

[@danielgertler5976]

Biggest WWE to AEW success at this moment? Probably Swerve. A lot of the other guys were initail ship jumps and were obviously going to be pushed like Mox and Jericho. But Swerve came in and he was still relatively new and now he's probably the most over guy in the company.

[@jayd2517]

I love The Hardys but they just don't have it anymore!

[@claymathewselevator8121]

This is one of those videos that I have to ask, is this really necessary? We’re all sick of the constant negativity in the wrestling space, you guys included, and yet content like this only exists to further fuel the fire

[@coloneldookie7222]

EC3 just looks like a shorter version of Kurrgan. Tell me when I'm telling lies.

[@jakenewman1084]

Im glad someone else thought so.

[@FlypSyde1111]

Lol I had to look Kurrgan up but you’re right 😂

[@Lostmymind1]

Modern Day EC3 is so weird to me. I'm used to seeing him in AIW in my local bar in 2005. I'm used to him being called Micheal Hutter, and having the gimmick of a frat party boy, as part of the "sweet dude club". The way he looked back then it COMPLETELY different than what I see today. The guy I see today is like "who IS this other guy???"

[@Brenen2407]

Ec3 was so good in TNA

[@bizzmpp]

I only really watch AEW aside from WWE PLEs. Legit asking because I only saw him at the Rumble, but how is Andrade doing in WWE?

[@cosmotheumbreontrainer]

Seems like he’s doing something with the judgement day possibly replacing priest maybe even becoming the leader of the group at least seems to me that’s where they are going with him from the little WWE I watch

[@danielclark1304]

Nothing basically

[@Lance-wn9dc]

They are building him for a major story. His run will be far better than his run in AEW.

[@danielclark1304]

@Lance-wn9dc haha. Will it be better than his 1st run in wwe? I'm a big fan but his only filler at best 👌

[@ananyaraizada7657]

They are trying to familiarize him with the wwe crowd currently by associating with judgement day. Let's see if it works

[@michaelmullner7536]

Swerve Strickland and Toni Storm have turned into main eventers in AEW

[@tmbsilver1313]

I liked DDP's stalker gimmick. I may be the only one though.

[@1rhpsfan]

The gimmick he had after that was better, because it became his life. (DDP Yoga)

[@Toad917]

The strongest move to AEW was probably Jon Moxley Jon was at best mostly a mid card talent in WWE to a mainstay maincarder in AEW

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

Punk flopped hard in UFC, no need to call age into question 😂 😂 😂

[@archangel2015]

Kenta should have known what he was getting into since this was still Vince McMahon WWE, and Japanese wrestler where treated like an after thought even in NXT.

[@jakesapir]

I think the biggest WWE-to-AEW success story has to be either Mox or FTR. In their WWE days, I was just never into them. But AEW has really let them spread their wings. As for the other way around, it's obviously Cody, but he was already one foot out the door when I started watching AEW. So, I can't really compare.

[@michaelkennedy8303]

This narrator reminds me of some sort of bad AI attitude-era Triple H with his constant "uhhh" at the end of every sentence. It's a mute with subtitles for me.

[@loganwhitehorse]

Wait a minute. CM Punk bet on himself and lost? Losing in MMA only solidified Punk's status. How many people have the guts to step into the octagon with that little experience? Based on the wild acceptance he received in AEW and now in WWE, I'd say that bet payed off handsomely.

[@markplstk]

Bro.. it's WhatCulture, whaddya expect

[@NeoZurg]

Because Punk bad and Fed Bad

[@joshmans7307]

Respectfully, I would disagree. Mainly because, I would argue Punk would've gotten that reception when he debuted in AEW whether he'd tried MMA or not. Personally, I'm not convinced that his legacy in wrestling was really helped nor harmed by that brief foray into the UFC. Kinda just...was what it was honestly.

[@damebesos8497]

Guts? I'd argue that it was arrogance that motivated him to try his hand in the big leagues of a sport, when his training was amateur at best.

[@GLJosh]

AEW Punk-WhatCulture-couldn't stop the love train. WWE Punk-WhatCulture-he was toxic in the AEW company.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

CM Punk always loses...this is why he just needs to retire

[@hectic105]

He only lost three times in AEW and won both house show matches in WWE since coming back before the injury. Royal Rumble doesn’t really count as that’s the Royal Rumble. If you’re talking about UFC, then sure I guess. The two times he fought there, but I don’t give a sh*t about UFC and the majority of the audience doesn’t either. He lost a bit more before he left WWE, but before that he held the championship for over a year. Really don’t know what your point is here, besides you being a Punk hater I guess.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

​@hectic105 , my point is CMark fan...is that his ego is part of the reason why he loses...drama in AEW twice...he's always getting injured. And then the drama he just has with other wrestlers in general

[@drevandamva]

Andrade is super overrated

[@unholyperiodza5442]
