5 Best Potential Opponents For Kenny Omega At AEW All Out 2021
3. Matt Cardona
After a disappointing debut in AEW, the former Zack Ryder has gone on to reinvent himself both on the indies and within IMPACT Wrestling. Matt Cardona has become a sensation, especially after his match with Nick Gage at GCW Homecoming. This death match was spellbinding, as was Cardona's character work.
Cardona would walk into the match as the GCW Champion following his win, and it could even function into the "Belt Collector" path Kenny has been on in recent months.
Omega is looking to add another piece of gold to his collection, while Cardona is seeking validation that he is a top contender in wrestling; he is the king of the indies and is looking to cement that legacy by dethroning The Cleaner.
There is also the IMPACT Wrestling connection between both wrestlers. Cardona could make history by being the first IMPACT wrestler to challenge for the AEW World Championship.
This could be a way to bring Cody Rhodes back into The Elite storyline, as Matt Cardona made his AEW debut alongside Cody. Having Rhodes be conflicted between his two friends could be a really interesting dynamic.
There are many different ways Cardona could return to AEW, but this would be the best way to capitalise on his current buzz.
