Given the size of the AEW roster, it's not hard for some fans to overlook some performers who are talented in their own right, but simply don't get enough of the spotlight. Former AEW World Champion Samoa Joe has been in his fair share of locker rooms, so he knows first-hand who fans might overlook, and in a recent interview with TV Insider, he listed three people who AEW fans need to pay more attention to.

"I think Queen Aminata. There is a ton of potential that is kind of unrealized there. I would say the same thing with Trish Adora. I think those are two talents that I consistently see where maybe their best is still kind of in front of them. On the men's side, there are also a lot. I'd say [Action] Andretti. I think, him being given more opportunity and given more spots could be quite the force to be reckoned with."

In the case of Action Andretti, Joe could potentially play a role in getting him those opportunities as Andretti became the latest member of The Opps back at ROH Death Before Dishonor 2026 in August. Now that Joe is back in AEW after filming the next season of "Twisted Metal" over the summer, he will once again look to lead The Opps to championship gold heading into the new year.

As for Aminata, she also has a chance to boost her profile this Saturday at AEW WrestleDream 2026. She will take part in a four-way match for the AEW TBS Championship that will also feature Hyan, Dani Luna, and the champion Persephone. Aminata recently challenged Mercedes Mone for the AEW Women's World Championship but came up short, though she will be hoping for a different outcome this weekend. Adora has become a featured member of Shane Taylor Promotions throughout 2026, and while she hasn't wrestled in AEW since June, she is on a three-match winning streak in Ring of Honor.
