Sydal is one of the most acrobatic performers in AEW.

Matt Sydal is a uniquely gifted, high-flying talent and has been trying hard to establish himself since his debut. He earned the opportunity to face Kenny Omega by defeating Michael Nakazawa on AEW Dark: Elevation.

Sydal faced Omega for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship on Dynamite but eventually fell short despite a valiant attempt.

Sydal needs to carry his momentum into the upcoming weeks by having some more prominent matches that raise his standard, credibility, and legitimacy in the pecking order.

Christian Cage would be a perfect opponent for him as both are very technically gifted and can manage to make each other look great in a ring. Even losing the match wouldn't hinder Sydal in any way because a contest with Captain Charisma invertedly puts a lot of focus on him.
