10 Wrestlers Claudio Castagnoli MUST Face In AEW

9. Ricky Starks

Claudio Castagnoli
AEW

Castagnoli is a wrestler's wrestler, and as such, it'll be great to see him battling against younger performers to make them look good. Seeing a decorated veteran performer still in their prime tackling an experienced yet hungry upstart is a golden way to give both a big boost. One such candidate for Castagnoli has to be the current FTW Champ.

Starks is an incredibly watchable performer with a confidence that makes him melt right off the screen. He's quick, agile and smooth in the ring, meaning he can deliver an entertaining match with almost anyone he's paired with. Thus, chucking him in with someone notorious for being able to also put on a phenomenal bout with any opponent seems like a no-brainer.

If these two squared off, you could imagine the pacing of the match would feel like a pair of cheetahs pitting off in a 100-metre dash. It would be explosive, dynamic and fast, leading to a delightful experience for viewers and an excellent showing for this pair of wrestlers.
