#4 Kyle O'Reilly could be revealed as Adam Cole's 'Christmas present' on AEW Dynamite

In what could turn out to be a landscape-changing moment, Kyle O'Reilly may end up making his AEW debut on the Holiday Bash edition of Dynamite this week.

At Winter is Coming, Adam Cole appeared backstage and promised to give The Young Bucks a surprise 'Christmas present'. Soon after, O'Reilly seemingly responded to Cole's statement through a cryptic tweet.

KOR showing up this week could be a long shot, but it shouldn't be ruled out either given of his free-agent status. Meanwhile, Cole is scheduled to face Orange Cassidy in a singles match on AEW Dynamite.

The Panama City Playboy could go to extreme lengths to keep his undefeated streak alive. Imagine if Kyle O'Reilly showed up to help his former friend defeat Cassidy.

It will come as a feel-good moment for all the wrestling fans who've watched the Undisputed Era rule on the NXT brand during their stint in WWE. With Fish already on Cole's side, one shouldn't be surprised to see O'Reilly reuniting with his former stablemates.


#3 Cody Rhodes turns heel after losing to Sammy Guevara on AEW Rampage

Sammy Guevara will put his AEW TNT Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes on Rampage this Saturday night. While there is a chance of seeing a title change, it would be nothing but a blunder.

Guevara has started to pick up steam, and it wouldn't be wise to have his momentum halted in the middle of the biggest push of his career. The company could make things intriguing between the two by having Rhodes turn on Guevara after losing the contest.

It's no secret that Rhodes' character has grown stale as fans are tired of seeing him push hard to get over as a babyface. Given his polarizing status, it would be in his best interest if he turns heel as soon as this week. Moreover, he has himself teased a character change in recent weeks.

It will add a whole new dynamic to his character. Plus, Cody can misuse his power as an EVP to garner further heat on himself. All he has to do is hit a low blow to The Spanish God after both men shake hands.

AEW, and Cody Rhodes, could send shockwaves all over the wrestling world with this maneuver.
