4. AEW's Men of the Year could both pick up a win
Trending
Neither Ethan Page nor Scorpio Sky have succeeded in AEW, and the Diamond Ring could give either man bragging rights. Sky and Page recently came out of a feud against the Inner Circle, being called the Men of the Year but not having titles or any significant push is not deserving of the duo.
Scorpio Sky, alongside his old stable SCU, were the inaugural AEW Tag Team Champions. He fought alongside two veterans, Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, before turning heel during a match against Darby Allin. Sky has seemingly been free of any moral obligations but even with this edge has done little more than look cool.
Ethan Page made the jump from IMPACT Wrestling where he was a two-time tag champion. Page jumped to AEW, ending his tag team with North teammate Josh Alexander. Since debuting at AEW, Page has teamed up with Sky and most recently alongside American Top Team. Unfortunately for Page, none of these appearances have made him stand out as "Man of the Year." Picking up a win over a more established wrestler, or winning the Diamond Ring Battle Royal, could be what he needs to solidify himself in AEW.
3. Jay Lethal has been off screen since losing in debut match
Jay Lethal made his debut at AEW nearly a month ago. Since losing in his first official match, Lethal has not made an appearance. The veteran wrestler is a fan favorite, as seen with a fan in the crowd dressing up as his "Black Machismo" persona.
Lethal made an odd debut at AEW, announcing that he'd face Sammy Guevarra for the TNT championship, while their match took place the next Wednesday. As impressive as it was to see Lethal in the ring and at AEW no less, he still lost. And instead of having more screentime since, Lethal has not made a single AEW appearance, not even on Dark.
Lethal has been busy with other events outside of AEW, meaning the wrestler is far from done. However, a surprise appearance at the Diamond Ring Battle Royal is just what he needs. Lethal can show all the younger talent what he's capable of and steal a win. This could also lead to an interesting angle with MJF, who remains one of AEW's top talent. Hopefully, Lethal shows up in the battle royal and fans will see him wrestle again.
