5 Possible opponents for Lance Archer for his AEW debut

#4 Joey Janela

Joey Janela

Let's be honest here, since signing with All Elite Wrestling, Joey Janela hasn't really done much other than compete in a few memorable matches, and with 'The Bad Boy' being yet to engage himself in a proper feud against a notable name on the AEW roster, it is time for the AEW creative team to come up with something interesting and logical for Janela.

With Archer's signing, the AEW management would look to have the former IWGP US Champion get off to a solid start in the company by booking him in a long-term feud and not just in a one-off match to start things with. With Joey Janela barely doing anything significant on AEW TV these days, having him and Archer square-off would definitely be a great way to start things off.

Janela, of course, is known for his psychotic in-ring mentality and Archer, for one, is also capable enough of getting brutal inside the squared circle (just ask Jon Moxley). Therefore, a gimmick match between Archer and Janela would definitely be something fans would be invested in just for the sheer brutality of it.
