10 AEW Stars Who Should Be The Next TNT Champion
5. Frankie Kazarian
One of the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions, this former member of SoCal Uncensored is no stranger to AEW gold. He is also very familiar the current champion, fellow SCU alumni Scorpio Sky.
Kazarian’s in-depth knowledge of Scorpio’s move-set and tendencies in the ring gives him a distinct advantage over other potential contenders for the TNT Championship, adding a much-needed layer of mystery to the match’s outcome.
The fact of the matter is the 44-year-old has the capability to defeat his former tag-team partner, but will Scorpio’s new friends prove to be a hurdle too high to jump? Or could the cracks that are beginning to form in the Men of the Year prove to be the foothold necessary for Kaz to become a champion once again?
Becoming TNT Champion would take his career to heights not seen since his time in TNA and with his ‘Elite Hunting’ seemingly on the backburner, this match with Scorpio Sky puts Kazarian right back in the spotlight where he belongs.
Whether he comes away from the encounter as champion or not, his involvement in the program and the excellent story-telling surrounding it thus far will go a long way to make the belt mean something once again.
