IMPACT Wrestling: 5 Superstars who can challenge Eric Young next

#4. Cousin Jake (aka Jake Deaner) for IMPACT World Champion?

Cousin Jake - The gentle giant of IMPACT Wrestling

Jake Deaner is one of the most underrated wrestlers that IMPACT Wrestling possesses and it is time that Cousin Jake steps into the spotlight. While he looks like a monster, his alliance with Cody Deaner allows him to show his funny side to the fans, which makes him a loveable babyface.

Just like how Willie Mack fought Eric Young to avenge his friend Rich Swann, Jake can call out the World Champion for brutally attacking former champion Edwards after their title match.

Deaner's in-ring skills are second to none and the fans will be in for a visual treat if IMPACT books this program. Cousin Jake's humourous gimmick is a complete contrast to the World Class Maniac gimmick of Eric Young, which can work out to be a great thing from a storyline perspective.

If booked well, this program will be the making of a main eventer in Jake Deaner, even if he doesn't win the title. Cousin Jake has proved his worth whenever the situation calls for it, and its time that he gets a shot at IMPACT Wrestling's World Championship.
