Predicting The First 10 AEW World Champions
6. PAC
A passionate babyface title win at the end of a long, hard journey demands one thing: an absolute piece of sh*t rocking up to spoil the party. That man is 'The Bastard.'
While nothing is ever guaranteed in wrestling, it's hard to imagine that PAC won't show up in All Elite Wrestling before long. The Jackson brothers have been open and honest: they're confident of bringing the former Neville in, meaning there's an outside chance he could show up before 2019's end. "Creative differences" be damned.
PAC and Page were set up as rivals at AEW's first press conference. The Englishman interrupted Hangman that night, setting up a Double or Nothing match that was cancelled through complications related to PAC's Dragon Gate Open the Dream Gate Championship reign. Said reign has now expired. Here, a few months after his career-making victory, PAC can end Page's with the AEW World Title.
'The Bastard' has everything needed to become a top heel for a major American wrestling promotion, from his look and general demeanour to ice-cold promo delivery and increasingly punishing ring style. It'd be great to see him soar.
