AEW has had a huge roster from the start with Tony Khan bringing in tons of wrestlers to keep fans excited about the product, which has included both the men's and women's divisions. For the ladies, many top stars growing their names on the shows, with the likes of Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa thriving for the promotion.

However, while fans know many of the ladies who have been part of the product to this point, some have been forgotten. Whether this is because they didn't do much of note, or because they were there for a one-off appearance, these women aren't normally linked with AEW.
10 Awesome Kong
Awesome Kong was signed to AEW early on for the promotion, and she seemed like a great choice by Tony Khan. She's a historic name that has achieved a lot in the business, and bringing in her experience was something that should have helped a lot of the younger talents on the roster.
However, while Kong did get in the ring to compete in a couple of matches there wasn't much of note from her run. She was thrown into the disastrous Nightmare Collective faction, which didn't help her cause, and ultimately her run for the promotion was disappointing.
9 Aja Kong
Aja Kong is a legend of the wrestling business, and fans were excited about the prospect of seeing her compete in America for a mainstream promotion. Her hard-hitting style would have brought something very different from everyone else on the roster, but sadly she only ended up competing three times.

Aja facing Aweomse Kong was a dream match that people wanted to see take place, but that never ended up happening even though it was teased by AEW. Because she was only around for a few matches, Kong just didn't do enough to be remembered.
8 Bea Priestley
Unlike Aja Kong, Bea Priestley did get some opportunities with the promotion as she was a heel that Tony Khan was behind at one point. However, while the AEW President did book her well, there were travel issues at points which meant that the Englishwoman wasn't always around.
On top of that, she ultimately chose to walk away from AEW and sign with WWE to be part of NXT UK, which is why a lot of fans have forgotten she was around at that point because she's not just seen as a WWE Superstar.
7 Mel
Mel was brought into AEW to specifically be part of the Nightmare Collective faction, which was one of the most unpopular groups in the history of the company. Because of that, it is no surprise that most fans have forgotten she was ever on the roster because AEW didn't put much time into her.
The group was barely shown once it became clear that fans were not on board with their presentation, and because of that Tony Khan just stopped pushing her, which led to Mel being forgotten.
6 Paige VanZant
Paige VanZant is a major name in the world of MMA, and her name has been brought up for potentially getting into wrestling for many years. That finally happened as part of the American Top Team faction, which was also hated by fans as Dan Lambert's group was overbooked and pushed too much.
However, VanZant did end up getting hired by the company, officially joining the roster which seemed to be the positive coming from that. But the former UFC star only had one match which was a six-person tag, and since then she hasn't been around which is why people have forgotten her.
5 Priscilla Kelly
Priscilla Kelly is now best known to wrestling fans as Gigi Dolin, who is a member of the Toxic Attraction faction in NXT. However, before she started working with Mandy Rose, Kelly did make a couple of appearances for AEW which have ended up being forgotten about.

Her most memorable moment came when AEW Dynamite was taped on the Jericho Cruise, which created a unique episode of the show. She was defeated by Britt Baker on that episode, but because Kelly has done so much more since, this small run isn't remembered.
4 Tenille Dashwood
When Tenille Dashwood's time with WWE came to an end a lot of people speculated that she might land in AEW. Dashwood seemed like a perfect signing for the women's division at that point due to the fact she was a known name, and someone that was very talented inside the ring.
Despite that, Tony Khan didn't end up signing her to a contract which is why a lot of fans have forgotten about her time with the company. She appeared as part of the All Out 2019 battle royal, and while she got a pop for being a surprise, her performance wasn't a memorable one.
3 Jazz
Much like Dashwood, Jazz was also brought in as a surprise for the battle royal, and given her legendary status, she also got a huge reaction on the night. Jazz is one of the greatest women's wrestlers of all time, and that experience and star power could have helped AEW's women's division.
Jazz proved she could still go during her final run with Impact Wrestling, but her time with AEW is not something that people will recall, which is a shame as this is a missed opportunity from AEW.
2 Ariane Andrew
Ariane Andrew (f.k.a. Cameron) is best known for her run with WWE where she worked alongside Naomi as part of the Funkadactyls, which proved to be a hit. However, after her release from the company, she disappeared from the wrestling business and moved on to other things, which people presumed she would continue to do.

Yet when AEW announced its women's tag team tournament, Andrew randomly returned to the ring to be involved. She worked with Nyla Rose in what was a partnership that came together without much explanation, yet they were knocked out in the first round and she has never returned.
1 Kylie Rae
When AEW initially began, Kylie Rae was one of the big signings that Tony Khan made as she was a huge name on the independent scene for women's wrestling. Rae was extremely popular with wrestling fans, and it felt like AEW was going to push her heavily as one of the faces of the division.
However, even though Rae is a hit with fans and a talented in-ring worker, her time being All Elite is ultimately forgotten by most. Unfortunately, issues in her real life took precedence, and that led to Rae stepping away from AEW, and not being around long enough to make a true impact.
