10. Chris Hero

Chris Hero is one of the most celebrated independent wrestlers in the history of the business, and while his recent run in WWE didn't do much to showcase his unique abilities and genuine expertise, the former Kassius Ohno has a lot left to offer in the squared circle.

They would definitely work a match that maximises Cody's strengths and regardless of the victor, would create a memorable moment that would have AEW fans talking for weeks on end. Hero is a master of playing either side of the moral spectrum inside the ring, being an extremely sympathetic babyface or one of the most vicious heels in the world depending on the role he needs to play.

He knows more about wrestling than practically anyone else alive, and is able to work wonders with a variety of opponents, from technicians like Bryan Danielson, brawlers like Eddie Kingston, or destroyers like Tomohiro Ishii. If Cody wants an opponent who can make him look good, further legitimise the TNT title and provide an excellent 20 minute TV match, Hero's the man.
