5 AEW opponents for Christian Cage to showcase his out-working ethic

#2 Sting vs. Christian Cage

"The Icon" Sting

Living on the aspect of nostalgia alone, the match between Christian Cage and Sting would be a dream bout that AEW likely wouldn't want to miss out on. The craze for watching these two legends against each other would be something special for many old fans when they first discovered another wrestling alternative in TNA.

One of Christian Cage's top career highlights was when he turned his back on his friend, Sting. Cage would hit Sting with a guitar shot that would knock "The Icon" out, costing him the chance to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett at Hard Justice PPV in 2006.

Christian is a changed man now, but if he ever turns heel by joining Team Taz during his current run in AEW, this storyline can magically work as an instigator. It would be vital for some epic encounter between the two legends.

We know that Sting now has certain limitations and can only be utilized to his full potential in a cinematic match. The idea would pose some creative challenges for the AEW production team to formulate and manage this, but it would be worth a shot regardless.
