5 wrestlers who could win the AEW TNT Championship in 2021

#2 Rey Fenix

Many have earmarked Rey Fenix has a future World Championship challenger in AEW

Rey Fenix's potential in AEW is unlimited. While it may be cliche to say, the sky truly is the limit for Rey Fenix in All Elite Wrestling.

The younger brother of Pentagon Jr., Rey Fenix truly has it all. Some of the things that the luchador is able to do inside of the squared circle truly bend the laws of physics and boggle the mind.

At only 30 years old, there is still so much growth and development that Rey Fenix is set to undergo during his AEW career. However, eventually one must turn potential into results and ability. An AEW TNT Championship reign could be just what is needed for Rey Fenix in the next steps of his development in AEW.

AEW's answer to Rey Mysterio?

While Rey Fenix has mainly competed in tag teams with his brother Pentagon Jr. and Death Triangle team-mate PAC during his AEW career so far, Fenix's money is as a singles talent.

Many comparisons are always made between young luchadors and professional wrestling icon Rey Mysterio when discussing who is going to be the next high-flying, masked babyface megastar in North America. There is no doubt that Rey Fenix can be "that guy" for AEW.

The perfect way to begin Rey Fenix's ascension to AEW's main event level could be with an AEW TNT Championship reign. Throughout history we have seen legends and icons of the industry begin their main event rise to stardom by winning a mid-card championship. Examples include Shawn Michaels with the Intercontinental Championship and John Cena with the United States Championship. By winning the AEW TNT Championship, Rey Fenix could begin his journey to becoming the major player in AEW that he is destined to be.
