2. If Rey Fenix ever left AEW, WWE should capitalize
Trending
Rey Fenix is without a doubt one of AEW's brightest stars. He's taken some time to warm up, but Fenix is currently one half of the AEW Tag Team champions. The title he and his real-life brother, Penta El Zero M, earned. So far, Fenix has shined and proven to be a valuable asset to AEW.
Vince McMahon might be looking at Fenix and seeing the potential for a successful run like Rey Mysterio had in 2006. Fenix does not fit the size of the current wrestlers McMahon is looking for, but McMahon wouldn't be sleeping on a wrestler of Fenix's caliber.
Rey Fenix took part in one of the best matches in AEW since its creation. The title shot he got against former champion Kenny Omega was one of the best title defenses in AEW. At the time, IMPACT wrestling and Mexican fans were the only ones who knew just how good Fenix was.
Vince McMahon seems to be steadfast in his new wrestler size decision. But Rey Fenix might be the one wrestler he'd break this idea for.
1. MJF has eluded to being willing to go to WWE
Of all the wrestlers at AEW, Maxwell Jacob Friedman has publicly proclaimed that he'd ditch AEW for WWE if he was offered a better contract elsewhere. This could be something that Vince McMahon has heard and is planning on capitalizing on.
MJF turning sides and going to WWE would be unprecedented. He's by no means a small time wrestler. The self proclaimed "Salt of the Earth" has gone on to declare himself one of the four pillars of AEW. This declaration could imply that MJF believes that AEW would crumble without him.
Although MJF isn't exactly the size that Vince McMahon wants - as this article has referred to - Friedman has something else. The heat he would draw to WWE, especially AEW fans, would only help him succeed. Whether or not MJF goes to WWE is still something far off, as his contract reportedly expires in 2024. Tony Khan even believes there'll be a bidding war for the young wrestler.
Jim Cornette has compared Friedman to the late Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper is a beloved wrestler, but was intensely hated by fans during his heel runs. If MJF could achieve something like that at WWE it would only cement his legacy.
Wherever the Salt of the Earth finds himself, hopefully he continues to pull in the loudest boos.
