[@largebig79]

i loved ricochet and braun as a tag team, big shame he got injured

[@darkkzy5843]

Dakota Kai should be higher for sure. Since shes returned shes won 2 tag titles, competed at wrestlemania, crown jewel, catc and other big ppvs and been involved with a huge star in Bayley the entire time.

[@BIxtz]

The tag titles don’t mean anything, and they mean even less when you defend them once 😂

[@amirzafir3626]

​@vaszel8642 at least she do something

[@shihabshahriarabir4607]

ngl how the hell do you even consider bray as overrated. He was by far the most creative. The way you said bullshit reasons you must be guilty for it.

[@SamOliver623]

I think Kross’s in ring style is an issue. He’s no longer really the dominant beast like he was in NXT, he also relies too often now on Scarlett interference meaning his wins aren’t clean.

[@rootpower8664]

Exactly what I'm thinking. His in ring style doesn't fit the main roster. The worst part for me is his finisher, that Kross Hammer is just boring. He did debut a new finisher last week so hopefully things are moving in the right direction with him.

[@rayparker4231]

@@rootpower8664they just gotta have him start winning dominantly and clean without Scarlett interfering. And stop having him lose in like 5 minute matches. He has the look and presentation and like you said seems to be trying to adapt his wrestling style to what he normally does mixed with WWE style of wrestling. He deserves time to tell a story and show off his character and just solid feuds. They give him some people he could do interesting things with just to cut it.

[@Iamnotpicky]

I never saw Kross in NXT, but his introduction to the main roster and the feud with Macintyre was great (In my opinion), the wrestling was decent, but the presentation great. But I think it's a character who needs a strong enemy to couple with kross intensity. And yes, agreed, scarlett's itnerventions should be minimal, to create the illusion of a nigh-invincible force of nature. Not a character that needs to be on the screen all the time, but when he shows up, it should be fairly dominant.

[@NickPR87]

The main problem with most of these rehires is that they weren't brought back with a plan in mind, but rather to keep them off signing with AEW AND in all likelihood signed for big money. So I can't say I feel bad for their lack of TV time or booking, sometimes money takes precedent over doing something significant elsewhere.

[@KingTruffles]

I disagree, if AEW wanted them they would’ve signed them when they got released. What I’m thinking is he rehired them to give them a second shot since a lot of people were released during the pandemic. That doesn’t mean everything will work out but there’s no harm in trying again

[@themightyi67]

Sometimes a payday is good enough for some people

[@silxix2599]

AEW didn't want any of them, except maybe for Gargano. And to contrary believe they were all payed cheap cause of it. All except for maybe Kross. Most of them will be released once again.

[@rayparker4231]

It was definitely a mix of keeping people away from AEW, going to any other promotions, bringing back his guys, and people who wanted to come back once they saw the change. Bronson Reed said he came back cuz he felt like he had unfinished business in WWE and Triple H got put in charge, Chelsea Green texted Triple H to see if it was possible to return after her contract with Impact ended. Johnny Gargano and Bray Wyatt were rumored to be huge targets for AEW and WWE signed them. But the one thing I absolutely agree with is they brought these people in without a plan to bring back depth to the company overall.

[@DhillyGoat]

I think Karrion is just missing some PLE wins and/or maybe a couple of title matches. But I think with HHH leaning towards long term storytelling, he might have to wait in line in the mid-card before he gets his turn at those again

[@Mega_Collosas]

he was bought back without a plan like 95% of rehires ..stop using the "long term" thing to excuse that

[@AJMashUps2863]

He needs to face LA Knight

[@seanarhani7853]

@@AJMashUps2863neither of the two can afford losses

[@Elijahplayz448]

[@juanarevalo4602]

You should rank every big booking decision in the Triple H era, like bringing back LA Knight's character, Dominik's heel turn, winners of Royal Rumble and MITB, Roman winning over Cody, etc. based on how good you think they were. Also great video man, keep up the good work.

[@fusionqueen79]

Bro I wonder what I would do without Santi ❤i can't bare to think about it 🎉 thanks for the content bro

[@jediprobst27]

I pray that they can fix Bray’s character he’s the reason I started watching again

[@tonyhotpockets888]

Karrion Kross is missing extended storylines like you mentioned. Feels like every week he’s going for someone else, the Drew storyline was his best one IMO because it was the longest

[@Mega_Collosas]

barely had a story with drew too.....

[@Osman-kv1vw]

​@cwcu2it lasted 2 months

[@aidansinclair5682]

It's not the character for karrion but the opponents for sure. Karrion won't feel like a big deal unless he is facing the Champs. In nxt the thing that made him dangerous was the fact that when he put the hourglass your ypur reign was coming to the end, not some 2 week feud that means nothing.

[@theprince1822]

I think the Good Brothers just need another set of Tag Team Titles to compete for.

[@Mega_Collosas]

they're too boring..no title will save them...atleast boogs has a personality..but we dont see him but see the oc

[@theprince1822]

@@Mega_Collosas the title could save them because if there is actually something for them to compete for, they would get more screen time which means we could see more ‘personality’ from them.

[@GantioKeys]

I guess to have a feud between Bray and Karrion might spark something. I guess something with their character work might just align all together.

[@GangmakerZaken]

That match would be torture to watch

[@rootpower8664]

It could either be really good or really bad.

[@markboy316]

Very cool tier list

[@trumu77gaming17]

So I've seen alot of People Trashing Bray but you did it in a way where you trashed the Run not the Man. Your absolutely right, Mediocrity is not Okay with Wyatt, Especially when you know what He can do at his best, I also Appreciate you took into account his Injury/Illness. Theres so many different reports going around but sooner or later we'll know whats going on. I'm a Wyatt Fan, I'm still gonna stick by Him, not The Character. Him. Just Appreciate the way you put it

[@NefariousSpecter]

I take most of these rehires as Triple H building for the future, take the women's division for example, it was bare bones till the rehires, and I honestly think HHH should have introduced a mid card title to build up the division instead of forcing them as the main event with the women's tag titles. Also you forgot Hit Row

[@coolreigns6537]

Dakota has been great she is my favorite female wrestler now i’m glad HHH brought her back

[@jabarinath2452]

Complaining about Chelsea Green beginning is kinda crazy because that was setting up the groundwork for what we are getting now

[@kegger4me42]

You could rank every former WWE wrestler hired by Tony Khan next.

[@jameslemmert316]

Braywyattjustdie🕊🙏

[@jasonrivera1165]

I think the problem with the OC is the same problem that happens with a lot of talent on smackdown. It is overshadowed and rushed through due to some big storylines happening with like the Bloodline. Smackdown has to much to showcase in to short of a timeframe. Meanwhile Raw feels like so little where we have Rhea beefing with men and Nattie over and over and Sami fighting Jd every night 😂 they wouldve killed it on Raw

[@darlingtonatuba5910]

I wouldn't say I was pretending to be interested in the Uncle Howdy storyline, more like being patient to see what they're able to do with it. I think Wyatt, more than anyone, would benefit from a storyline the length of the Bloodline saga. Something he can really sink his teeth into

[@MrSantiZap]

Waiting for the Bray Wyatt apologists 😂

[@Pierrepaule]

@MrSantiZap hey Man Apparently by The Rumors he can come back at SummerSlam and maybe go back to he’s mentor of NXT season 2 Cody Rhodes so for me personally I’m gonna give him 1 last chance for me and if because of Cody Rhodes, Cody can make him Over 1 way or Another and then Bray Wyatt do something great I want you to regret your word really dip down 😉

[@armandoolvera8747]

nice haircut

[@DanielGerraty-eu3lx]

Nah you're spot on about Bray Wyatt pal!!!

[@WukisGGK]

Honestly, the only thing Karrion Kross is missing is ironically what he has. His hair. My guy needs to go back to being bald. He was a killer in NXT. And Kross even has a nice head of hair. He just looks more monstrous without any hair.

[@videogameman110]

Bray should've had a better return. His story took forever to even start, and when it did, it ended asap

[@balor2178]

Karrion kross needs to shave his head like NXT.

[@jbone41]

I think the problem with Karrion Kross they make him lose too much and the storylines are to short like you said

[@jeremyb3612]

I think Lumis Gargano and Mia Yim all should be in the meh category honestly

[@ac8274]

Chelsea Green’s “Basketball” promo got her over with me. Yes I called it a promo.

[@kamballer2159]

I don't like Kross because he wins one match then goes on a 2 month losing streak. You just can't get behind him

[@lancefrye2554]

I strongly disagree with the average opinion on Bray Wyatt's return. I personally loved what he was doing prior to his injury. I will say though that he shouldn't have been in a feud with Bobby Lashley. Bobby and Brock should have had a final match at WrestleMania.

[@MrDonalds_employee]

I’m welsh and I love Tegan Nox. They should have returned her at Clash at the Castle.

[@leandrofernandes5302]

As of 2024 I can say Candice, Chelsea Green, Gargano, Bronson Reed, Dakota have been great returns for me

[@galaxy___gxy]

Apparently Tegan Nox is ment to be getting a big push in the next couple months but I could be wrong

[@ac8274]

Yeah that weird thing about Kross is…he sucks.

[@bcrt2000]

LA Knight should be on this list. He was essentially fired, but they hadn’t made it official before Vince had to retire. Triple H made the call to bring him back and the rest is history.

[@Jcoleot]

I mean to be fair they did say the liked him and wanted to have him but they couldn’t for some reason

[@marvingonzalez8586]

Knight said he believes he was almost fired but it wasn't official

[@Mega_Collosas]

hhh gave many people their gimmicks/names back and did nothing with them i.e piper niven,elias,tozawa,nikki cross , la knight... amongst a sea of forgotten rehires too

[@Jcoleot]

@@Mega_Collosas to be fair tozowa kinda always stayed the same anyway but yeah they should’ve used them to at least fued with each other if they had no one else to put them against

[@AtlanticStan]

[@cyrussteliga6295]

It’s in the good bros contract that if they are not needed then they don’t have to show up

[@wolfkiller7564]

Honestly if Bray Wyatt returns he should return with his Wyatt Family gimmick that was the best Bray Wyatt.

[@whatwhatwhat483]

What I find funny is that he forgot about hit row

[@Icy_999]

I agree with santi about bray he could had done more but could rip bray

[@negativenigel7730]

I think the problem with Kross and I am a huge fan of him but he was the case of right place wrong time if we switch Roman as champion with say Seth now or Cody we would have a whole different story and maybe he has the belt around his waist it was just that he was staring at Roman and everyone knew he wouldn't be the one to dethrone Roman and Triple H knew that and with Vince back it all went to crap

[@Noah._.77]

I feel like Dakota should be a bit higher cause she’s accomplished more than any other rehire so far

[@timothygauss7893]

If Triple H bring back Daniel Bryan that would be awesome.

[@MasterOfPuppets187]

Motivation. Karrion is the best person to be a massive evil person. Like Ciampa in NXT. However you need a reason for why he does what he does, not just "I wanna win". Karrion, since he has the clock ticking, should start going after people who have been there "too long" and work to "destroy them". Not just in matches, but to the point they feel they cannot go peaceful into the tv shows.

[@brosbarth5833]

wait bronson reed is back huge w

[@realdeal8930]

Santi forgot about Hit Row. Looking through the comments, it looks like everyone else did too 💀

[@Th3En4_I2COMING]

Ready? This is how to get Kross finally into the main event scene or at least a mid card championship scene. Before his match with Aj Styles, Kross attacks the OC backstage. He then will beat Styles (cheated of course) but then attack him after the match for a solid 5 minutes with a chair and putting him through the announcers table. Next week he faces Luke Gallows and has at least a 10 minute match with him where after he wins, he will attack Luke with a chair before Karl Anderson will make the save with Mia Yim. Then the next week it’s Kross Vs Anderson. After about a 10 minute match, Kross wins and will attack Karl with nobody to save him except Mia Yim who will be clothlined by Kross for a holy shit moment. Scarlet will then attack Mia. The next week Styles is back and demands a No Holds Barred match at the Saudi show. Kross accepts and there will be no OC because they are all out of action. Kross and Styles have a brutal match with even a little bit of blood where Kross will win. After that Kross will have cemented himself. If you think this buries the OC then just have Karl and Luke face for the tag team championships after and have Styles go after the midcard championship. Mia will go for the Smackdown Women’s championship finally.

[@screwrewind5347]

12:19 yeah there is definitely something missing for Karrion Kross which I honestly don't know what it is I mean you said it yourself he has an amazing character, he's great (not the best) on the mic and he has an amazing physique but I think the thing that's missing from him is maybe the fact that he has a crappy finisher or maybe that he's never won a feud like yes he's beaten Drew McIntyre, Rey mysterio and AJ styles but when those feuds ended he didn't come out on top

[@playz4816]

I think Karrion needs a ppv feud with someone like Lesnar or Bobby Lashley

[@emperor-st5st]

Not surprised to see bray Wyatt at the bottom tier. The hate train has been crazyyyyy

[@Janthdanl]

I like Karrion I can’t put my finger on where the disconnect is as well, maybe just not the right opponent?

[@toddmueller8948]

I like Tegan but at this point I might as well pay her to clean my house. At least I'd be able to see her.

[@MagiaBased]

I think the Main Problem with Kross is that they only gave him Cheat Wins (I don't remember him winning without interference) and that makes him look weak in my eyes. He should've been Dominant and won matches like Gunther and not like Dominik Mysterio, kind of the same problem that Theory has. And yeah the only good thing Bray did was showcase LA Knight YEAH!, he should've just come back as the Funhouse/Fiend Bray which was the best Bray in my opinion.

[@tedstahl2085]

I think Karrion just needs a manager a guy like Paul Heyman or MVP.

[@theharv1490]

Chelsea, Dakota and Bronson are the best rehires imo

[@Man03514]

Kross is a main eventer i like the guy hope they give us soon Kross vs Roman 🔥🔥

[@chrishenson5865]

You know I hate to say it but I feel like the tag titles being combined really hurts some of the smaller known tag teams like the good brothers and Viking raiders

[@jakobwedel3168]

I honestly think with a few tweaks to the story and character, Bray Wyatt could redeem himself. The foundation is there, he just needs to be reeled in

[@andysauceda1951]

LA Knight promo on Mountain Dew had a line like "What does Bray and Mountain Dew have in common? They're around only for limited time YEAH" (not exact quote), I remember seeing that and thinking it was fun, but the dude predicted the incoming future holy crap

[@Tm08766]

Gargano should be a main eventer

[@drako6732]

Crosses like this, because we never got him against Roman

[@aries-qt3vs]

Why wasn't Hit row on this list they were fired then brought back

[@Mega_Collosas]

its believed if you talk about hitrow in a video, Michael cole will visit you in your dreams and remind you of dollas botch about 50times

[@edwinrosado8179]

Why was la knight and hit row not on this list

[@sigmaaalphashark]

Although I liked LA Knight while he was still on NXT and I know a lot of people who watched nxt did too, he is partly (not entirely, for the most part it’s cause he’s great but this had certainly helped) this over because 99.9% of fans started hating Bray after their feud. Bray should have his own category below trash. Also Kross I agree there’s a thing missing, he doesn’t feel special or interesting at all anymore but I got no idea what it is either. Only thing is if anything I feel it’s effected him more and IMO probably based on this mystery thing unfortunately pushes him into the trash category

[@merwan91270]

Honestly chelsea green deserves the hall of fame spot

[@Flashgamer727]

What about Cody Rhodes I know he returned last year but I wanna hear your about

[@ulisesvasquez2482]

God Bless You Brother✝️❤️🙏🏽!!!

[@KingOfThe850]

I think when its come to Kross.. hes amazing, but its wwe.. its them being so inconsistent with his booking and storytelling. Rather than giving him a weeks to months long feud with somebody, they give him like one match with them, and then keep him off TV for a few weeks. If they would lock him into a long term feud (which they somewhat seem to be doing with him and AJ currently) it would be a lot better

[@DARTHREVAN97]

I know you cant see the future but what you said Bray Wyatt at the end got me mad but yeah its true his return wasnt the best but at the end of the day your heath is a above all and maybe he shouldnt have came back but again no one can see the future

[@zachnloganniam]

Now hear me out about Johnny Gargano. D.I.Y will reform at payback. Let’s say that Shinsuke turned heel and made a team with Bronson reed because they both hate Ciampa. Ciampa then wants a tag team match but keeps his partner a suprize, that suprize being Gargano. After Bronson Reed and Shinsuke, a program with judgement day so that Candice LeRae can have a program with Rhea Ripley. But they gotta add one more. So, turn Theory Face because he’s meant to be the next John Cena. 4v4 at survivor series and whatever happens then depends on who wins.

I mean after RR I don’t even really know what he did, whereas for Karrion Kross it’s just been an embarrassment, all the fueds he’s been in he’s dragged down his competitors, you could say it’s his booking etc, but idk Karrion stands out as a major L
