10 Dream Opponents For Brodie Lee’s AEW TNT Title Reign
3. Eddie Kingston
Eddie Kingston is one of the best in the world. His match with Cody for the TNT title was a standout in the latter's reign and he is capable of pretty much anything you could want from a professional wrestler. He is without question the best talker in AEW, always intensely emotional and passionate in his delivery and content, able to enthrall audiences with admiration or sickening disgust with just a few words. Imagining him warring on the mic with Brodie Lee would be appealing, let alone the bloodlust they'd provide in the ring.
While Kingston is one of the most naturally talented heels in the industry, he is a naturally sympathetic presence, as proven by his recent Talk is Jericho podcast. The man has worked so hard and for so long to prove himself on a bigger stage. With him being in the best shape of his career, a narrative about trying to overcome his demons through the TNT title would be an emotional story fans would invest in.
Furthermore, he's worked with Brodie Lee before in CHIKARA and the two have good chemistry as opponents. Considering that both men have only gotten better as storytellers, they could portray a melodramatic violent war to utter perfection. It's an essential match to book.
