10 AEW Vs. Impact Matches That COULD Happen
1. Kenny Omega Vs. Rich Swann
Whenever two promotions embark on an invasion-style feud, thoughts always turn to the inevitable Champion vs. Champion match. How could they not? Theoretically, this is a battle between the very best that both promotions have to offer, the ultimate winner takes all showdown. If my champion beats your champion, whatever happened before becomes moot.
All of which makes Kenny Omega vs. Rich Swann the biggest potential match waiting in the wings for AEW and Impact. It is also a clear indication of the relative statuses of the promotions; Omega has arguably been the top non-WWE professional wrestler for a few years now, while Swann has had to rebuild his career after being let go by that same company in unpleasant circumstances.
But rebuild he has, and Omega vs. Swann has all the potential in the world to be a tremendous match. Rich Swann has everything to prove, while Kenny Omega has made it abundantly clear that he has nothing to prove anyone but himself, and possibly Don Callis. That makes for a very special set of circumstances for a once in a lifetime battle.
It remains to be seen what form the partnership between AEW and Impact will look like, or even whether there will be cross-promotion matches at all. Doesn't hurt to dream though, right?
