5. Adam Cole

There's no way Adam Cole grew up as a wide-eyed teen in the early 2000s and didn't idolise Edge's body of work. Look closely, and you'll see some similarities. The way a heel Cole shifted his facial expressions during the Undisputed Era days on NXT was reminiscent of Edge at his best, for example.

Cole has experienced an upturn in fortunes on AEW TV lately, which was badly needed. Picture the man's face if Tony Khan pulled him to one side backstage and said, 'Hey, we're putting you in there vs. Edge next'. Dude would be like a kid on Christmas morning, one ready to tear open presents and have the time of his life.

Also, this is the kind of dream match Cole could be forgiven for kissing goodbye to the thought of forever when he left WWE. If Edge is indeed All Elite bound, then the bout becomes a real possibility again. Hands up who else would love to see it?

BOOM!
