10 Wrestlers Who Could Win Their First World Title In 2022

3. Jungle Boy

Riddle WWE Title
AEW

Jungle Boy is similar to Darby Allin in some respects. He's a young star who's currently part of a package deal (Darby with Sting and JB as part of Jurassic Express), but is also waiting on the right moment to break out on his own. Next year could be when this Boy becomes a man.

It's interesting that Luchasaurus has been talking openly in the press about turning heel too, because that's one path open to AEW's creative minds. They could sever all ties between the big dinosaur and his lil' buddy - that'd let Jungle Boy stand on his own two feet.

AEW did let Jungle look competitive against Kenny Omega recently, and they've been warring him with other members of The Elite/Superkliq lately. It's working, because JB's stock has gone through the roof with fans. Could he be All Elite's Daniel Bryan-esque story instead of Darbs?

Possibly. Watch this space, folks.
