10 AEW Vs. Impact Matches That COULD Happen
Let the fantasy booking commence; AEW and Impact Wrestling are about to collide.
And all of a sudden, the tongues of the wrestling world are wagging once more.n
Kenny Omega has finally won the AEW World Championship but it took the interference of Don Callis to make it happen, a partnership that seems to be heading towards some sort of cooperation between AEW and Impact Wrestling. What it looks like remains to be seen, but something is brewing in the southern states.
AEW has a loaded roster, a list of talent that is as strong as anything in the wrestling world today. Impact may not have the profile that it once did but it has quietly repaired its broken reputation, giving previously ignored stars a chance to shine and offering second (and third) chances to talented but flawed performers. With AEW vs. Impact matches on the horizon, it is time for fantasy bookers to get the pencils out and start plotting.
What matches might we get to see as part of this exciting partnership? Omega and Callis are seemingly aligned, meaning it might not necessarily lead to a host of AEW vs. Impact matches, and it might lead to the creation of new partnerships across the divide. Still, always nice to fantasy book some dream matches, right?
10. Abadon Vs. Su Yung
Is there a lazier cross-promotion fantasy booking trope than putting two similar gimmicks together? I'm fairly sure 'The Undertaker vs. Sting' was only a dream match for so long because they both had monochrome colours as a gimmick. Oh, and something about crows in cemeteries. In truth, the match would have sucked, and similar gimmick vs. similar gimmick rarely works as well as fans would like it to.
With that in mind, Abadon vs. Su Yung seems too obvious to ignore. The match itself might not be the sort of barnburner that Jordynne Grace vs. Britt Baker or Rosemary vs. Riho would be, but the thought of two absolute weirdos trying to out-weird each other is something that all pro wrestling cards should strive to include.
Abadon is going to be an absolute star. The Living Dead Girl has taken the horror movie gimmick to a whole new level, making previous incarnations seem positively amateur in comparison. Su Yung is included in that, but success speaks for itself. The Undead Bride is a 13-year veteran with two Impact Knockouts Championship reigns under her belt (she doesn't wear a belt). As long as Susie doesn't come out to face Abadon, this would be a lot of fun.
