#3 Awesome Kong
AEW promised us surprises when they began at Double or Nothing and on their first night, they certainly delivered, bringing in a wrestling legend in former TNA Knockout's Champion, Awesome Kong.
While Kong coming into AEW could be dangerous enough already, she has aligned herself with Chief Branding Officer Brandi Rhodes, and given this combination, it's hard to see her being stopped anytime soon.
We saw a big-time staredown between her and Aja Kong at Fight for the Fallen, and whether that manifests itself in the Battle Royale or a singles contest, it's going to be big for the women's division going forward.
Traditionally, bigger performers have always dominated battle royale's, but rarely come out on top. But, with the combination of her size, skill, experience, and partnership with Rhodes, it's hard to see anyone being more of a favorite to win the first-ever AEW Women's World Championship.
