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

5. EVIL & SANADA

The exceptional case of Jon Moxley notwithstanding, AEW have no working relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling at present, meaning this most appealing of match-ups is basically a non-starter. But such things can change on a sixpence - Chris Jericho's association with 'The King of Sports' isn't confirmed to be over, bear in mind - so it can't be ruled out.

EVIL and SANADA alighting in Washington this Wednesday might not carry the North American prestige of other tag teams, but for AEW's ardent followers, many co-opted from the NJPW fandom, it'd be a lick-lipping prospect. The Los Ingobernables pair memorably fell to The Young Bucks at last year's Dominion, and a resumption of their rivalry, even if not readily apparent to a wider audience, would fairly quickly have everybody on board. If nothing else, it'd be a perfect advert of the typical AEW product dilettantes tuning in for the debut might expect on a weekly basis.

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.
