7. Darby Allin

See the previous entry and tailor it for Darby Allin. The end.

OK, not really, but a lot of the same points raised for Orange Cassidy fit Darby as well. His daredevil style mirrors an old Edge foe like Jeff Hardy, and there's no way anyone can convince yours truly that Edge would be anything less than buzzed about having him some of that.

The chance to elevate someone like Allin would motivate the old-schooler, and it'd be a real treat to see that sort of thing. Darby has always been on the precipice in AEW - he's over with fans, but needs something more to reach that next level. Edge could take him there, and you'd enjoy the ride.

Christ, there's no good reason why Edge wouldn't bring up Hardy or his old TLC battles against Matt and Jeff. Attaching that to the core narrative of Darby making a name for himself by matching one of pro wrestling's best would be stunning stuff.
