>Perhaps the biggest thing Garcia provides to the AEW roster is malleability. Like rostermates Chris Jericho and Christian before him, he can operate as a top tier title contender one week, and be right at home putting a peer closer in age and experience through the paces the next. He can be the most serious, unflinching assassin, then somehow manage to get over a double-fisted hip thrust as the “Daniel Garcia dance.” He’s open to all things professional wrestling, and while he knows his time is coming, he’s not going at it alone. He’s picking up pointers and feeding off the energy of AEW’s established acts every chance he gets. “I remember [weeks ago] I was sitting at the monitor, and it was me, [Will] Ospreay, Swerve, Mercedes Moné.
