Predicting The First 10 AEW World Champions

1. Kenny Omega

AEW Chris Jericho
New Japan Pro Wrestling

And so we come back to the match that was one everyone's lips following their Double or Nothing brawl, and would likely headline All Out if heat alone was the deciding factor.

Moxley and Omega.

'The Best Bout Machine' will never be far from the AEW World Championship. Quite right, too. Unless his explosiveness and ingenuity leave him and he experiences a major decline over the next few years, he'll remain a cutting-edge pro-wrestler - one who should be a considerable mainstream star should AEW succeed. He's the ace - the face of the promotion - and while that means he'll rarely need the top strap, he'll definitely have his fair share of reigns.

This match could mean the end of the years-long Moxley/Omega rivalry, or just the next step. Either way, if WWE can hold off on their aforementioned rubber match for this long, it'll sell shedloads of tickets. It'd be a bout fans have literally been waiting years for. This would be no small task, of course, and it'd require the promotion to build a horde of new stars to keep both men occupied between bouts, though it'd almost certainly pay off.
