#2 There shouldn't be a clean finish to Chris Jericho's match with MJF at AEW All Out

One of the long-running rivalries of 2021 will conclude at AEW All Out when Chris Jericho and MJF lock horns one last time. The match will be nothing short of a high-stakes war, as the former WWE Superstar has put his career on the line.

MJF currently holds two major victories over Chris Jericho, making him a favorite to win the rubber match. Still, it is unlikely that Le Champion will step away from in-ring competition anytime soon.

The company has booked a typical babyface storyline by throwing multiple barricades at Jericho in the form of the "Five Labours" storyline. But wrestling is always unpredictable, and fans may end up seeing something they didn't expect.

Regardless of what the company could have planned for this match, they shouldn't book a clean finish to the bout. AEW should add include interference from The Pinnacle and The Inner Circle to make matters even more interesting.

Moreover, a returning legend coming to help Chris Jericho would also be a sight to behold. Fans should be on bated breath whenever they witness a close pinfall, and that could only be possible if multiple outside interferences are planned.


#1 Daniel Bryan shouldn't make his highly-anticipated AEW debut

If the current rumors are any indication, Daniel Bryan could arrive in All Elite Wrestling at All Out this week. Initial plans for the former WWE superstar suggested that he would make his debut next month at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.

The swift rise of COVID-19 cases may have prompted the higher-ups to scrap those plans. In theory, Daniel Bryan's arrival on Sunday would undoubtedly blow the roof of the Chicago building.

But AEW All Out is stacked with appearances from multiple stars, including CM Punk. Having Daniel Bryan appear at the event would overshadow the rest of the show.

CM Punk's return was the worst kept secret, given how reports started spreading among wrestling fans. AEW must make sure that Daniel Bryan's impending debut comes when nobody is expecting it. On the other hand, if the current plan is still to hold the Grand Slam event in front of 19,000 people, the company should stick to its original idea of having Bryan debut in front of this huge crowd.

Daniel Bryan showing up during next week's Dynamite episode would also spark massive buzz on the internet. All in all, Tony Khan must expand his options for Daniel Bryan's arrival in AEW.
