10 Wrestlers AEW Should Build To Dethrone MJF

Speaking of the current AEW World Champion's fellow Pillars/long-time rivals, another seemingly inevitable threat The Salt of the Earth will have to figure out a way of negating seems to be growing more dangerous and credible with each passing month.

Your writer is, of course, talking about the Jungle Boy gradually becoming a fully grown Jungle Man before fans' very eyes on AEW programming.

Dramatically putting his long-running rivalry with Christian Cage and Luchasaurus in the rear-view mirror for now, the star's Full Gear 2022 victory over the latter felt like a real turning point for Jack Perry as a performer. The days of classing him as an up-and-coming star over-flowing with potential appear to be coming to an end, with the supremely gifted talent continually delivering the goods of late and exuding the confidence and presence of a World Champion-in-waiting.

At just 25-years-old, Perry would unquestionably benefit from another year or two of holding his own as a top singles star. But after finally seeing off the dastardly Captain Charisma and getting a few more notable feuds under his belt, a battle over AEW's future as the bidding war of 2024 finally arrives on the scene could provide both Jungle Boy and MJF with a programme that takes each young sensation to the next level.

And if Maxwell does decide to go elsewhere, then having the greedy villain do the honours for Perry on the way out would likely blow the roof off of any arena on the planet.
