10 Future AEW World Champions

10. Jungle Boy

If AEW is still around in 10 years time, Jungle Boy will be the biggest babyface in the professional wrestling world. The 23-year-old is a heartthrob hero waiting to happen, if he isn't already, yet he has managed to retain a likeability that usually evades most good-looking babyfaces. Put some meat on his bones and a hero you will have.

AEW is clearly very high on Jungle Boy. Despite not picking up many high-profile wins, he has been placed in a number of big matches against established stars like Cody and Chris Jericho, not to mention young stars like MJF. Jungle Boy's rivalry with MJF is going to carry professional wrestling into the future, injuries and bad luck notwithstanding.

Don't expect it to happen for a long while, but Jungle Boy has world championships in his future. Will he be billed as 'Jungle Boy' when those championships come? That remains to be seen, but it is difficult to see such a moniker at the top of a major pro wrestling card in the modern age. JR's insistence on calling him 'Jungle Boy Jack Perry' might not sit well with everyone for now, but in the long term it can only be good for the man. Or the boy.
