#2 Kyle O'Reilly vs. Kenny Omega
While discussing the concept of a Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish vs. Young Bucks battle is exciting on its own, the fact is Kenny Omega is destined to return and have his say on the matter at some point.
The Best Bout Machine left The Elite in the hands of The Young Bucks, of whom Adam Cole has assumed leadership and brought Undisputed Era ally Bobby Fish into the fold. Questions remain on what the state of the faction will be when he does return, however, with O'Reilly potentially entering the fold and adding an extra dynamic.
Whatever the case, Kenny Omega is arguably the best wrestler in the world and will always represent a dream match for a talent like O'Reilly. This is especially true when you consider the fact that they've never met one-on-one, and they have both come on leaps and bounds since they last met in trios action.
#1 Kyle O'Reilly vs Adam Cole
Sure, it's been done before, and Kyle O'Reilly went over both times. But AEW's less restrictive approach to wrestling and providing a threequel could well give us something we've never seen. Out of everyone on the entire AEW roster, Adam Cole has history and motives for feuding with O'Reilly.
The entire concept of the Undisputed Era in AEW rests on the Adam Cole-Kyle O'Reilly mythology, stemming from their short-lived stint as Future Shock prior to WWE, and as such it would be a shame for AEW not to use the ingredients they possess them for a definitive edition of their feud.
It's not uncommon for replicated storylines to be fundamentally different in the hands of someone else creatively. Much like Zack Snyder's Justice League has shown, entertainment fans are a sucker for an encore.
Bringing their feud to AEW would work in the same way, serving as a stand alone threequel to what we saw unfold in NXT. It could also propel an entirely new narrative and plant seeds for future storylines to explore.
Familiarity helps sell a newcomer to the crowd. While most of the AEW fanbase will recognize Kyle O'Reilly in any case, positioning him with established stars in familiar storylines can be compelling for AEW to signal their intentions with him in the future.
