10 Wrestlers Who Will Be AEW Champion Before The Next US Election
8. Brodie Lee
The ‘Exalted One’ has already had a World Title opportunity afforded to him in AEW. One can say that it was way too soon, which yes, it was. However, it was done mainly because he was the best option at the time. Fortunately, AEW have since signed and built up a plethora of new contenders for the title. Plus, Lee also was able to snag himself a short but sweet reign with the TNT Title. That said, the leader of The Dark Order was clearly not brought in to the company to be merely a mid-card man. There is World Title gold in his sights for sure.
The group might have transitioned away from serious cult to a goofy group of mates, but there is no way that it remains this way once Lee returns from injury in a couple of months. He will assert his dominance once more, just like he did when he first debuted. Like Miro, Lee was never afforded even a sniff at the World Title scene in his former promotion, but again, like Miro, he is destined for greater things in his new territory. While darkness might have only just been removed from the US, darkness will soon reign supreme over AEW.
