10 Bold Predictions For What AEW Will Look Like This Time Next Year

10. A Tag Team That Doesn't Exist Yet Will Be Champions (Despite The Amazing Existing Division)

Tony Khan remains enamoured with certain tropes that are growing tiresome.

So many backstage promos are interrupted. Every stable boss attempts to recruit further members; most recently, Ari Daivari attempted to sign Orange Cassidy to the Trust Busters, and Andrade continues to unsettle 10 of the Dark Order. That first example was mind-boggling. The match required no extraneous story. It was a fixture in a tournament. It already had a reason to exist.

Khan remains an excellent booker at his peak - the detail that prevented Max Caster from rapping on last week's Dynamite was inspired and actually put heat on the heel, where it belongs - and the man is superb at assembling teams.

The Acclaimed was his idea, and it was borderline genius. The act complements itself brilliantly, aligns two wrestlers that were hardly known or at least fashionable when they were working singles, and has evolved into a ratings sensation as well as a cult hero act. Similarly, Swerve In Our Glory, despite teaming previously on the indie circuit, weren't on the radar as a duo this time last year. Now, they are a great act on either side of the face/heel divide.

Despite promoting a brilliant, deep roster, Khan will once again use his inspired imagination to create a brand new tag act.

It might upset FTR, but it will be great nonetheless.
