9 Predictions For Chris Jericho's AEW Mystery Partners

9. CazXL & NZo

Or Big Cass and Enzo Amore, as the controversial duo were known in WWE.

You may not know them as CazXL and nZo, because, despite ostensibly reforming, the tag team haven't actually reformed. CazXL is quietly toiling away on the Independent circuit, but nZo, you imagine, is waiting for a bigger payday consistent with his delusion. The two men have appeared together this year, as part of a wild but ultimately retconned angle at the NJPW/ROH G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden.

For your writer's money, it was actually a great, audacious, and layered angle: CazXL and nZo were true outsiders, perceived as unprofessional and poor workers invading a company built on workrate and indeed "honour". nZo's hilariously pathetic Survivor Series '18 hijack lent it a certain precedent, too, adding much to the shoot element.

Consensus was significantly less enthused; the furious rejection was so strong that the team never did debut, and now, any buzz or intrigue has dissipated entirely.

The arrival of the team could lead to a very intriguing, very online match between nZo and Joey Janela, stemming from their spat at a Blink 182 concert - but that feels more like the preserve of the postmodern Game Changer Wrestling, and not an aspirational mainstream entity.

Likelihood: 5%
