20 Most Anticipated Wrestling Matches Of 2026

Being one of AEW's most prolific and reliable performers, there aren't many dream matches left for Swerve Strickland. Having had memorable feuds with 'Hangman' Adam Page, Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, and countless others, there is one glaring name yet to be added to that list.

Kenny Omega's injury woes in recent years have been well documented, but it hasn't been spoken about enough that his booking has been patchy since returning from diverticulitis. Since his All In match with Kazuchika Okada, Omega has been used in nothing but multi-man tag team matches that have felt scattergun at best, and wasteful of his talents at worst.

Swerve Strickland has proven himself to be arguably the most engaging performer on AEW television. Capable of making compelling television with anyone who stands before him, a rivalry between 'The Best Bout Machine' and Swerve would be unanimously well received, and it is bananas to comprehend that these men have yet to have a single match in company history. With Strickland expected back from surgery on a torn meniscus at some point in the new year, Tony Khan absolutely needs to make this happen while the window of opportunity is still open.
