The third edition of AEW All Out is in the history books now, and one of the noteworthy takeaways from the show was Adam Cole's jaw-dropping debut.

The former WWE superstar gave Omega and The Young Bucks a death stare upon his arrival, thus making everyone believe that he would lay his hands on them. However, he stunned the wrestling world by kicking Jungle Boy in the face and aligned with The Elite.

Despite portraying himself as their best friend on television, Adam Cole has an enormous history with Kenny Omega and The Jackson Brothers. To cut a long story short, Cole was one of the key members of The Bullet Club.

However, he developed dissension with Nick and Matt Jackson. As it turns out, the Jackson Brothers acknowledged Kenny Omega as their leader and turned their back on Adam Cole. Hence, the latter was kicked out of The Bullet Club.

Although these men wrestled alongside and against each other following the split, it never materialized into a match between Kenny Omega and Adam Cole. Now that Cole is in the same promotion as Omega, one can expect a full-blown rivalry between the two down the road.

With that said, let's dive into five ways AEW can book this mega clash.


#5 Kenny Omega and Adam Cole's AEW Tag Team titles pursuit

Now that Adam Cole is officially a member of The Elite, AEW can move forward with their storyline by making Cole and Omega close friends. Both men should call shots for the faction in each other's absence.

They should then move their attention towards winning the AEW World Tag Team Championships. The Lucha Brothers recently won titles, and there's no way the company should cut their title reign short.

Fenix and Penta could be booked for a fruitful two-month reign, which would even include The Young Bucks failing to regain AEW team titles on multiple occasions. This would then lead to Kenny Omega and Adam Cole stepping on their behalf and becoming the new tag team champions.

At this point, Nick and Matt Jackson might create conflict with Cole and Omega over their success.

The aftermath of Adam Cole and Kenny Omega as AEW Tag Team Champions should create animosity with The Young Bucks. The latter could then transition into a babyface role while putting Cole and Omega on notice and challenging them for their titles.

It would be an interesting scenario quite similar to when Hangman Page and Omega fought against Nick and Matt Jackson last year. The company must book a similarly stellar contest and have The Young Bucks become two-time AEW tag team champions.

The company must swerve all fans by planting seeds for the Omega-Cole feud. Following the loss, The Best Bout Machine should attack Adam Cole with the help of the Good Brothers.


#3 Hangman Page returns to challenge Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship

While Adam Cole is on the sidelines with a kayfabe injury suffered at the hands of The Cleaner, Hangman Page could return to challenge for the AEW World Championship.

The company should then kickstart Hangman Page's redemption story, given it was long overdue before he went on a hiatus. The Anxious Millennial Cowboy will be more laser-focused this time around.

The match between Omega and Page should be the headliner of any pay-per-view at the beginning of next year. It will be the perfect time and place, to crown Hangman Page as the new AEW World Champion.

Tony Khan could make things more intriguing by having Adam Cole return and help Hangman Page dethrone Kenny Omega.

#2 The Elite lock horns with Superkliq in a Trios match

Kenny Omega's title loss should materialize into a match against Adam Cole. Both men would have already developed enough beef that wouldn't require a championship to settle.

However, AEW can hold onto their rubber match for a while and turn it into a faction war, pitting Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers against Adam Cole and The Young Bucks, aka Superkliq.

Nick and Matt Jackson recently filed trademark rights for their old faction Superkliq. The group used to feature Nick and Matt Jackson with Adam Cole. The story will come full circle, and the feud will be written in a way like never before.

A Trios match between these two teams would give a nostalgic feel to everyone watching. As horrible as it may sound, The Elite should go over in this match to add more intensity to the feud between Kenny Omega and Adam Cole.


#1 Kenny Omega vs Adam Cole: A battle for the leadership of The Elite?

Ad

From being best friends to developing massive hatred against each other, the final chapter of their feud would grab worldwide attention from the wrestling world.

After suffering a loss in a Trios match, Adam Cole will come out to demand a singles match with The Cleaner. The latter would then accept the challenge but on one condition. Kenny Omega will ask Cole to fight for the leadership of The Elite. Having such a massive high-stakes announcement might grab the attention of the wrestling world.

Ad

Omega has been a workhorse for the company since its inception. The Cleaner deserves a break from the in-ring competition to heal from his injuries. This type of match could also serve the purpose of writing him off from television.

Adam Cole would then defeat him on pay-per-view, thus putting a rest to their feud. The company can always reignite its rivalry whenever The Best Bout Machine returns.
