Sydal appeared on AEW at the Battle Royale last month and made a huge impact. Although it was sort of a debut to forget after an initial botch, he quickly picked up to make a big effect.

AEW has decided now that Sydal should dedicate his talents to the company on a regular basis. We may see the Superstar make his debut on Wednesday night on Dynamite.

Matt Sydal had an electric career in WWE. Although he didn’t reach the height she was capable of, he surely did like jumping off the top rope. Known as Evan Bourne, he never failed to impress when he performed.

Sydal’s finisher known as “Air Bourne” is still one of the best aerial moves WWE has ever seen. We expect to see a lot more of the same when he appears on Dynamite.

Matt Sydal is not the only former WWE Superstar in AEW

AEW has been ever watchful of talents that have been overlooked by WWE. The promotion has made a number of major signings over the past few months.

However, AEW has done its fair share of recruitment with breakout stars like Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, and Anna Jay making a huge impact on the show.
