10 Dream Opponents For Brodie Lee’s AEW TNT Title Reign
10. Billy Gunn
Sometimes we forget that a defining star of the Attitude Era is actually signed to AEW. Given his status as a recognisable legend, it's surprising that AEW hasn't featured him more on TV. It's been mainly AEW Dark appearances for Billy since he's been signed and it's time he has a standout match on Dynamite. Working in a high profile contest with the TNT champion would be the perfect way to bring him on, and would elevate Lee's reign if he decimated the veteran.
While Gunn's never been the most versatile in ring, there's a lot of affection for him, particularly with the older fans of AEW. He's a recognisable name that could easily help encourage former wrestling fans to check out his episode of Dynamite, especially if the match is well hyped ahead of time. He's a solid worker even in his 50s and could take a few major bumps to put Lee over as a threat, while being able to get fans behind him as a legendary babyface.
Since AEW is focused on incorporating legends of the past in a way that keeps them relevant and beneficial to younger stars, using Gunn to strongly establish Brodie Lee would be a tremendous decision.
