8 Teams Which Could Be Chris Jericho's Mystery AEW Dynamite Partners

7. Rush & Dragon Lee

CMLL, looking to profit from the publicity the story would generate, whether positive or negative, fired arguably their two biggest draws this past week, sending P45s in the direction of Rush and Dragon Lee after they apparently ignored orders from their parent company.

That doesn't free the talent up at all: both are still hitched to Ring Of Honor, with Rush even claiming their top title at Death Before Dishonor last week. It's unlikely the Sinclair group will be in the mood for sharing with the very promotion which, having piggybacked off their prestige, stomped them in the mud. Nevertheless, it's arguable their long-term interests - and perhaps even existence - lie in making uncomfortable bedfellows with the displacing startups in Jacksonville.

Would having their top champion prominently positioned on one of the hottest wrestling shows of the year really be the end of the world? Probably not - though politics would make any long-term plans from the scenario very tricky indeed.

Likelihood: 5%

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
