5 Possible opponents for Lance Archer for his AEW debut

#1 Cody Rhodes

Jake Roberts confronting Cody Rhodes on AEW Dynamite

On last week's episode of AEW Dynamite, Lance Archer was confirmed to make his debut for All Elite Wrestling. However, that never happened and instead, we got to witness another former WWE Superstar make his debut, in the form of Hall of Famer Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.

As seen on Wednesday night, Jake Roberts confronted Cody Rhodes in the aftermath of the latter's dramatic loss to MJF at AEW: Revolution and the WWE Hall of Famer also teased the possibility of introducing a new client of his on AEW.

As of this writing, there hasn't been any sort of revelation on who Roberts' client on AEW could turn out to be but if we're talking about making an impact, then having Lance Archer show up and wreak havoc on Cody Rhodes could be the start of something amazing on AEW TV.

Now, I do know for a fact that Cody's feud against MJF is far from over but getting Archer off to a solid start in AEW is also another big aspect that the promotion needs to focus on.
