#2. AEW should plant the seeds for Cody Rhodes' potential heel turn

AEW star Cody Rhodes' potential is one of the hottest topics in pro wrestling today. Even though the former WWE Superstar has himself denied embracing it, it's hard to neglect the immense reaction he's getting these days.

Rhodes and PAC are now scheduled to face Malakai Black and Andrade El Idolo this Saturday. It seems like the perfect time and place for the company to tease his heel turn. The American Nightmare could accidentally cost PAC their tag team bout.

It could develop into a rift between the two former WWE Superstars. Rhodes has all the potential to be the top heel guy in the company. It's just a matter of a proper booking that might make him the company's biggest box-office attraction in the future.


#1. AEW should keep away Don Callis and The Elite from the world title match between Hangman Page and Kenny Omega

Will Hangman Page fulfill his prophecy of becoming AEW World Champion this Saturday? That's a big question heading into the show as Don Callis is now back in the equation.

During the go-home edition of AEW Dynamite, Callis ambushed The Cowboy during the contract signing, thus allowing Omega to sign the contract with Page's blood.

The wrestling manager has played a pivotal role throughout Omega's run with the coveted prize. If Callis or The Elite members cost Hangman Page's redemption story, it would be a bad payoff for their storytelling arch.

Kenny Omega vs. Hangman Page has been in a feud for almost a year in the making. Both men should have an instant classic showdown, regardless of who emerges victorious. The company must keep The Elite and Callis away from this match to avoid a possible backlash.
