AEW Fight Forever CAW formulas guide to Renee Paquette and more

AEW Fight Forever.

AEW Fight Forever CAW formulas lack the sophistication of those found in the WWE 2K series, but they can still be a useful way of expanding your roster. Particularly if you're looking to import some Japanese stars to AEW Fight Forever. Strong attempts at Kota Ibushi, Tetsuya Naito and Kushida are all included here, along with fun versions of Jamie Hayter and Becky Lynch. Add them all to your game using GR's AEW Fight Forever CAW formulas guide. 

Kota Ibushi

This Japanese favorite has been added to the game by Warbotter on Reddit. Ibushi won numerous tag titles in his home country with AEW roster lynchpin Kenny Omega, so this is your chance to reunite that tandem in-game.

Another Japanese star here, who passed away in tragic circumstances aged just 22. Kimura was made by Ivalice Idiot on Youtube. They’ve been impressively comprehensive – the basic formula is below, but click on the video if you also wish to completely update Kimura’s moveset.

Renee Paquette

As mentioned in GR’s AEW Fight Forever hidden characters list, the fourth default female face is the spitting image of Mrs Jon Moxley. We’ve turned into the CAW below. Paquette is a broadcaster rather than a wrestler, so her ring gear is a simple, generic outfit – tweak this as you see fit once the rest of the model has been built.

  • Social Media: reneepaquette

Kushida

The sunglasses-sporting high flyer departed WWE in 2022, and debuted on AEW TV in January 2023 – losing a fine clash with Darby Allin for the TNT Championship. An unfortunately unnamed Reddit poster is the guy or girl to credit for this videogame doppelganger.

  • Social Media: kushida_ts

Preston Vance

Need another member of the Dark Order to pair with John Silver? Pres "10" Vance may not be part of the nefarious tribe any more, but that doesn't mean you can't reinstall him in-game. This creation is the work of Genrl_KenOB on Reddit.

Jamie Hayter

Despite having her reign as AEW Women's Champion ended at 190 days, British scrapper Hayter remains an essential addition to your roster. CAW limitations make it difficult to get her perfect, but this effort from fry420x on caws.ws is a strong one.

Tetsuya Naito

Sting and Darby Allin are already on the AEW Fight Forever roster. Yet they sprang a major surprise with their partner to take on Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, and Minoru Suzuki at Forbidden Door 2023, in Japanese favourite Naito. Now you can have him in the game too, with this Last Word On Gaming formula.
