2) Bryan Danielson - AEW

The Owen Hart Cup Tournament doesn't exactly have to be won by a rising star in AEW. Sometimes the best way to solidify a new concept is by having an established main-eventer as the inaugural winner. The first King of the Ring pay-per-view was won by Bret "The Hitman" Hart, who helped cement the tournament's place as a mainstay for the WWE in the years following.

Bryan Danielson came to AEW to prove himself as the best wrestler in the world. He wants to test himself against the most talented roster in wrestling today. The American Dragon may not be next in line to win the AEW World Championship, but the Owen Hart Cup Tournament could give him a new accolade to add to his illustrious resume.

Bryan Danielson may be the only competitor in AEW who can perform similarly to Bret Hart in 1993. Danielson winning "The Owen" would give the tournament instant credibility. He could face the newbies in AEW and put them over in matches.

To many fans, Bryan Danielson would be a dream opponent for Owen Hart if he was still alive. They are two of the most gifted technical wrestlers ever to grace the squared circle. Both developed distinct personalities, allowing fans to become invested in them. Bryan Danielson would be the ideal top star to win the Owen Hart Cup Tournament.
