2. Cody Rhodes could defend his title against Keith Lee

The Limitless One would be an incredible opponent for Cody Rhodes. Keith Lee has a major fan following and has proven to be incredible in the ring.

Lee had a fantastic NXT run, holding both the main card and mid card titles at the same time. He's the only NXT star to have achieved this feat and one of the few WWE stars to have held two belts in recent years.

Lee could give Rhodes a run for his money due to his speed and power. Lee hasn't publicly wrestled since his release but has been teasing some kind of return. Keith Lee would be a noteworthy challenge for Rhodes.

1. A Very Evil, Very Nice challengehausen from Danhausen

If everything goes well, Danhausen will be cleared to wrestle as early as February. Danhausen has been spotted with many AEW stars across the past few months, notably MJF and Orange Cassidy.

Danhausen is one of the top free agents on the market. If you look into the crowd there is almost always someone dressed up as him or holding a signhausen. AEW fans have been clamoring for Danhausen to become All-Elite, and going up against Cody might be the way to make this happen.

Danhausen should definitely answer Cody Rhodes' challenge and sign after for the company immediately after.
