5 AEW stars who should win the Diamond Ring Battle Royal - 2 time IMPACT Tag Champion, 6 time X-Division Champion

2. MJF could pick up a third AEW Diamond Ring Battle Royal win

MJF has won the AEW Diamond Ring Battle Royal twice and is the first winner. Since then MJF has encorporated the Diamond Ring into his persona, and it would be strange to see him without it. Not only that, but MJF has won many matches by using the ring as a makeshift knuckle duster.

Having MJF lose the ring could be a good way to establish and expand his character, but it could take away too much. Without the ring, his entrance would have to be adjusted, and he would have to use another weapon instead.

MJF picking up another win at the AEW Diamond Ring Battle Royal will make fans hate him even more. The boos are something that Friedman lives off of, and by keeping the bragging rights for another year will fuel him that much more.

Winning the match, most likely by cheating, will also add more gasoline to the feud between CM Punk and MJF. Making MJF doubt his accomplishments is something that Punk would definitely do. Regardless of all of this, it would simply just be too out of place to see MJF without the Diamond Ring.

1. Ricky Starks should win the AEW Diamond Ring battle royal

"Absolute" Ricky Starks is a fantastic wrestler who has not been able to show his in ring skill nor mic work. Starks might be fading in fans' memory as he's been taking a backseat since recovering from a neck injury. The injury in question could have ended Stark's career, something that has happened to one wrestler too many.

Starks last prominent appearance was while he feuded with Brian Cage. Cage and Starks fought each other for the FTW championship. A title that Taz created during his stint in ECW. Team Taz has since assisted Starks in nearly every match and could likely do the same thing this year.

Other than only having the FTW championship, Starks has not had anything major or any major angles. Winning the Diamond Ring would also compliment his persona perfectly. Starks could even incorporate it into his signature pose at the top of the stage.

If MJF is meant to finally lose the Diamond Ring, other than a surprise upset, Starks is the only other wrestler who can utilize it. Having the ring for a year will give him the same status that MJF has had for the past 2 years.
