I must say I'm excited to see what Claudio does in AEW. He's always been great in the ring but the thing that held him back is he doesn't have the most charisma and was not a very good promo. Now he has Regal to talk for him which is possibly going to negate his need to get himself over on the mic. There is potential for him to have the best run of his career here but they are going to need to run with it and not drop the ball.
I dunno if this is the right way to put it, but out of all the guys they have brought over from WWE, this is the one that I think could make for the best champion out of the lot for AEW. Claudio is a guy it seems like everyone has respected forever. He's a physical specimen who is built more like a model almost. His ringwork has been top tier FOREVER. Everyone seems to think he should have been higher on the card in WWE, and they aren't wrong. So here's a guy everyone has basically thought of as championship material for a while...and yet he's never gotten that opportunity. Give it to him now. Push hard. Him as champ fulfills all the things people have believed about him and it's something we haven't seen before. It's different, it's new. It's what people have wanted.
And damnit Claudio straight deserves a run at the top of the pile. He's earned it.
