#2. Kenny Omega could face Cody in a battle between two AEW EVPs

There is a lot of history between AEW EVPs Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes. Both wrestlers were part of the Bullet Club, even engaging in a bitter civil war during their time in NJPW.

Back then, Cody turned heel in the process and became a bigger star than ever while battling Omega.

Right now, a reignited rivalry between the two founding members will be a landmark moment in the history of the company. It will also have far-reaching consequences for the future, or at least in terms of who Tony Khan sees as the bigger star.


#1. AEW World Champion Hangman Page could defend against Cody

Twitter user @jessithebuckeye laid out a potential angle that could help close the loophole on Cody Rhodes previously being unable to challenge for the world championship.

The "American Nightmare" has honored the stipulation following his loss against then champ Chris Jericho at Full Gear 2019.

But given his current free agency, this could be the perfect scenario for Cody to challenge current titleholder Hangman Page based. Imagine if he wins the top belt in the company and chooses to walk away like the famous 'Summer of Punk' storyline. The heat on him will be explosive.
