10 Wrestlers Malakai Black MUST Face In AEW

9. Jon Moxley

There's perhaps no greater example of wrestlers who flopped in WWE lighting a fire in AEW than Jon Moxley. This former member of The Shield is one of the most infamous displays of a performer jumping ship at just the right time and completely reinventing himself. Fans are all hoping that Malakai Black can have a similar rebirth, so why not use Moxley along the way?

A showdown between these two could be an exhilarating prospect, as Black's vicious in-ring work would be a genuinely credible threat to the well-protected Moxley. Plus, despite looking like someone who'd feel right at home in a CZW Tournament of Death, Black doesn't have a tonne of experience in hardcore wrestling. On the other hand, Moxley was made in death-matches, meaning this pairing could open up a whole new side to Black as a performer.

They've both got plenty of star power, so seeing them encounter each other in the ring would set the crowd ablaze, and if Black were to come out victorious, it would bring him one step closer to the title picture, which we are all hoping to see.
