10 Huge AEW Revolution Predictions You Need To Know

9. Jake Hager vs. Dustin Rhodes

That AEW has their audience this fired up for Goldust vs. Jack bloody Swagger in 2020 is astonishing.

Listen to how the live crowds erupt whenever Jake Hager and Dustin Rhodes put hands on each other. This programme is electric, despite the promotion putting it on the backburner after 'The Big Hurt' broke Dustin's arm. A red-hot atmosphere is guaranteed on Saturday night but this creates potentially unrealistic expectations. This match has to rule now, even though one of its participants hasn't stepped through the ropes since August. Sure, Jake's in there with one of the smartest workers in the word, but he has a big task ahead of him.

Can he pull it over? Betting against a Rhodes brother in 2020 isn't wise, so let's err on the side of optimism.

Dustin can afford to lose here and Hager, in his first AEW match, needs to look strong if we're to keep receiving him as The Inner Circle's imposing muscle. It should be that simple, though Rhodes will keep the fans believing with awesome babyface fire.

Winner: Jake Hager.
