9. MJF
Enough cannot be said about MJF as a heel. He has transcended the top tier of modern wrestling heels and created his own tier. With that in mind, how does a promo battle against top babyface Bryan Danielson sound? Pretty good if you ask me.
MJF is a perfect wrestler in 2021 with the in-ring ability to hang with anyone. With a more old-school style than most, he and Danielson would tear it up together.
A match sounds great but a proper rivalry with a long narrative and multiple promos would be magical.
8. Ricky Starks
AEW has a number of young hot babyfaces but they also have some young up-and-coming heels. Enter FTW World Champion Ricky Starks.
Starks has loads of talent on the mic and in the ring and his character has an attitude that could use a kick in the head. AEW seems to like to put new talent in with Team Taz to prop up the stable with big matches. This would be an exciting way to do that.
Starks has held his own in matches against many of AEW’s top stars but a match with Bryan Danielson would be a different kind of test. If you can hang with Danielson you can hang with anyone.
7. Darby Allin
Coming off a loss to the debuting CM Punk, Darby Allin will need to find some momentum again.
Allin is still massively popular, especially with kids, and AEW is clearly prepared to push him to the moon. With his stock boosted from a big match with Punk, maybe Allin can keep that energy with a match against Bryan Danielson.
Allin has definitely been a standout of the first few years of AEW’s existence. His matches have been good and his presentation is new and engaging. Now with a new crop of signings having arrived, Allin can show why he is still a top star in AEW.
