Some AEW wrestlers have remained with essentially the same character for a long time, while others regularly reinvent themselves. Which wrestler could benefit from a fresh direction? What kind of character would suit them without completely changing what fans already like about them?

I’d say a wrestler who has become predictable could benefit most from a character change. A different attitude, entrance, look, or wrestling style can make fans see them differently. The change shouldn’t feel completely random, though. There should still be something familiar that connects the new character to what fans already know.

Probably, Wardlow could benefit from a fresh direction. He already has the size and intensity, but giving him a more aggressive, unpredictable personality could make him feel different without losing what fans liked about him. A stronger character story could also give his matches more meaning.
