2020 is full of promise for AEW, as well as new opportunities for women in wrestling. Who could join All Elite Wrestling’s roster this year?

We are just over a year into AEW’s existence as a company and only four months into their run on television with Dynamite, and they have already managed to stack up one of the most impressive women’s rosters that any wrestling company could ask for.

Big Swole, Britt Baker, Riho, Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Awesome Kong … we haven’t even mentioned AEW Women’s Champion Nyla Rose yet and already, that is a hell of a list of names.

As good as that list is, there is always room for improvement, so who could join this already strong roster by the year’s end to make it even stronger?

5. Session Moth Martina

Session Moth Martina, in many ways, comes off as an amalgamation of every key facet that makes up All Elite Wrestling’s identity.

Silly and absurd sense of humor that belongs on Being the Elite? That’s her character to a tee. Great pro wrestler? That’s her, too. Colorful and unpredictable? Yep, Martina. Full of enough beer to fill up Hangman Page’s refrigerator? Oh, yes, you betcha.

The only flaw here is that Martina just turned down an offer from WWE because – so she told Post Wrestling – she wasn’t ready to stop living the free agent life: traveling around the world and putting stock into her character. I’d imagine she wouldn’t want to sign to AEW for the same reason.

Keeping that in mind: 1.) Never say never and 2.) I feel like if there was any mainstream company that Martina can still be Martina without feeling pressured to erase or tone down that beer guzzling, partying up 24/7 archetype of hers, it’s in AEW where most wrestlers seem to have some semblance of creative control.
