On the December 2, 2020 episode of AEW Dynamite, Kenny Omega went head to head with Jon Moxley in a match for the AEW World Championship. Moxley valiantly fought defend his title but Omega stood tall thanks to a little help from Don Callis. Omega and Callis quickly fled the arena, and Callis announced that "The Cleaner" was going to show up on IMPACT Wrestling.
This development sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world. AEW and IMPACT Wrestling were officially working together, and this collaboration opened the door for countless possibilities. Just a few weeks later, Omega turned one of these scenarios into reality when he realigned with his former Bullet Club buddies, The Good Brothers.
The trio attacked Rich Swann, the current IMPACT World Champion, and the Motor City Machine Guns. These two teams will clash at IMPACT Wrestling's next pay-per-view, Hard To Kill.
Omega isn't the only star who jumped between the two companies in recent weeks. At AEW's New Year's Smash Night One, The Good Brother arrived on AEW Dynamite.
As a result, many fans wonder whether other AEW stars will appear on IMPACT Wrestling's programming. Hard To Kill is this weekend, and this show could be the perfect occasion for another crossover.
Here's a look at some of the top AEW wrestlers could appear at Hard To Kill on Saturday.
#5 AEW star Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes has been one of the top stars in AEW since the company's creation. He's usually involved in dynamic storylines, but the former AEW TNT Champion is in looking for a clear direction.
Since Rhodes lost the title to Darby Allin, he hasn't had a genuine feud. At first, it seems like the company is slowly building up a rivalry between Rhodes and Shaq. But he's also involved in the story surrounding Allin, Sting, and Team Taz.
Still, Rhodes hasn't been following a clear path. It's possible that he'll be making a major storyline move soon. Fans could see Rhodes join the AEW version of the Bullet Club.
After all, Rhodes was a very prominent member of the stable during his time with New Japan Pro-Wrestling. He could reunite with his former stablemates at Hard To Kill. Rhodes could have plenty of compelling feuds with IMPACT Wrestling stars, so he could easily become the next AEW wrestler to appear on the other company.
#4 Former AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR
FTR arrived in AEW last year, and they've had a stellar run in the company. They won the AEW World Tag Team Championship at All Out in September, and they held the titles for two months.
FTR aims to prove that they're the best tag team in the world, and few fans would disagree with that claim. To assert their dominance, FTR has competed against various teams. The duo has also vaguely expressed its interest in facing some of the most notable teams in IMPACT Wrestling.
While both members of the Motor City Machine Guns will be busy at Hard To Kill, only one half of The North, Ethan Page, will be competing at the pay-per-view. The North has been lauded as one of the best tag teams of this generation, so this duo is probably on on FTR's list.
FTR could attack Page after his match at the show. If they do, the AEW stars could brining their quest to prove their superiority to IMPACT Wrestling.
#3 AEW star Lance Archer
Lance Archer's message in AEW so far has been very simple. He likes to say that "Everybody Dies". Archer has gotten his hands on most of the AEW roster, so he's running out of new victims. But "The Murderhawk Monster" could set his sights on some new victims in IMPACT Wrestling.
In recent weeks, Archer has been involved in a rivalry with Eddie Kingston. But Kingston has his hands full with PAC and several other stars, so Archer might have to wait for his turn.
For now, Archer could bide his time by destroying some competitors in IMPACT Wrestling. In fact, Archer has teased that he might do that sooner rather than later.
"Might make a trip to the Impact Wrestling locker room soon," he wrote in a Tweet. If fans are meant to take this tweet seriously, there is a strong possibility that AEW's resident monster could show up at Hard To Kill on Saturday.
Plus, Archer has previously worked for IMPACT Wrestling, so he might be willing to make some appearances for the company. Archer's potential return to IMPACT Wrestling could excite passionate fans of the company, as they'd probably remember his original run with TNA.
#2 AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks -
The Bullet Club is back together, as AEW stars The Young Bucks reunited with Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers. The IMPACT Tag Team Champions have already appeared on AEW Dynamite, so it would make perfect sense for the AEW World Tag Team Champions to appear on IMPACT Wrestling's programming.
The Young Bucks are borderline heels right now, but they could turn to the dark side due to their alliance with Omega. The AEW World Champion is a cocky villain, and his influence could rub off on Matt and Nick Jackson. This trio has been working together for a long time, so The Young Bucks could turn heel to preserve their alliance.
The Young Bucks and Omega have a special bond. The Jacksons often support Omega in his biggest matches, and they could accompany him to the ring on Saturday. As a result, there's a strong chance that The Young Bucks will appear at Hard To Kill. They could even play a role in Omega's main event match.
#1 Former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley
Jon Moxley suffered an unfortunate defeat at the hands of Kenny Omega in December. This loss ended his remarkable reign as the AEW World Champion. Moxley took some time off, but he returned at AEW New Year's Smash Night 1. There, he declared that he plans to get some revenge, and he placed a huge target on Omega's back.
Later that night, Moxley proved that he wanted to fight Omega. He came down to the ring with a baseball bat and proceeded to beat the AEW World Champion with it. But Moxley was outnumbered when the Good Brothers attacked him. The former champion was left writhing in pain as the reformed Bullet Club celebrated this momentous occasion.
If Moxley's past is any indication, he won't stop until he takes Omega down. Moxley could choose Hard To Kill as his next opportunity to get his hands on "The Cleaner." He could even help Rich Swann and the Motor City Machine Guns on Saturday. If he does, he might take the collaboration between AEW and IMPACT Wrestling to a new level.
