10 Wrestlers Claudio Castagnoli MUST Face In AEW
5. Jungle Boy
Whenever a new face enters AEW, there's one opponent you always hope they get a chance to tangle with, and that's Jungle Boy. This pillar of AEW's homegrown talent is a fascinating performer, and seeing a veteran like Castagnoli go up against the future World Champion would be excellent for both of them.
In-ring-wise, Jungle Boy is a solid match for Castagnoli. He's small, light and quick, meaning he could jolt about the ring like a wild cat and dance circles around his larger opponent. But, of course, Castagnoli is no slow-poke himself, so seeing them tussle about the ring would be a real exercise in speed and precision.
Castagnoli could deploy the best of his uppercuts here, as Jungle Boy has no problem selling moves that launch him into the air. In equal measures, Castagnoli could make the real-life Luke Perry look like a million bucks by selling his strikes and giving the young man plenty of chances to shine.
There's no reason not to deliver on this, so AEW better not let everyone down.
