10 Wrestlers Who Should Challenge Jon Moxley For The Interim AEW World Title
2. Eddie Kingston
Eddie Kingston is one of if not the most beloved stars on the AEW roster and Tony Khan should be striking while the proverbial iron is white hot. Moxley and Kingston’s first feud was brilliant and the two have great chemistry both in the ring and as verbal sparring partners.
Neither guy would need to turn heel for this to work either. Mox knows his best mate has always wanted a world title to take home and make his mother proud. How could he deny “The Mad King” a shot at the gold?
Even if he loses, the very idea of him potentially facing CM Punk again would inform the drama of the fight. If he wins, that tantalising prospect could become a reality. Punk and Kingston’s last encounter was one of the most heated matches in AEW history. Despite a two week, out of nowhere build their brief feud was more exciting than stories the company dedicated months to.
Punk reigniting tensions by returning to remind Eddie who the real champion is would be exhilarating.
