Drafting the Recently Released WWE Talent

Black Wednesday in WWE took place on April 15th and it was a day where major layoffs and releases took place. With all names being released, the pro wrestling industry has a chance to become really competitively balanced again. I came up with the list of the Top Six Promotions and have drafted each wrestler to where I think he or she should go to.

ALL ELITE WRESTLING(AEW)
Chris Hero(Would be an excellent trainer while still actively competing.)
Matt Cardona(Zack Ryder)
Brian Myers(Curt Hawkins)
Rowan(Could join the Dark Order with former partner Brodie Lee)
Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood(Formerly The Revival. Have been teasing feud with the Young Bucks for several years.)

IMPACT WRESTLING
Eric Young(Former Impact Heavyweight Champion
EC3(Former Impact Heavyweight Champion)
Rockstar Spud(Formerly Drake Maverick became a huge hit in Impact.)
Heath Miller(Formerly Heath Slater who could reunite with Rhino.)

MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING(MLW)
No Way Jose
Taynara Conti

NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE(NWA)
Aiden English(Has an old school gimmick that would fit well)
Epico and Primo Colon(Could add depth to the Tag Team Division and work with CMLL as well)

NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING(NJPW)
Karl Anderson(Former Bullet Club Member)
Doc Gallows(Former Bullet Club Member)
Rusev

RING OF HONOR WRESTLING(ROH)
Kurt Angle(Company use to be based in Kurt’s home state. Pennsylvania and Maryland aren’t that far from each other. Could be authority figure.)
Lio Rush
Maria Kanellis-Bennett
Mike Bennett
(All former talents who were heavily spotlighted in Ring of Honor)

These are all educated guesses based on what I know and their histories with the respective company I assigned them to. Others were hard to assign so I took wild guesses as to where they could end up. Where do you think these recently released talents will end up? I would love to hear your thoughts.
