5 AEW Feuds that need to happen in the near future

It has been over a year now that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) came into our lives amidst much fanfare. The promotion has done exceedingly well in developing a young crop of stars and presenting a fast-paced story-driven brand of wrestling.

The company has always been a proponent of long-term story-telling. It has proven that fans will get rewarded for dedicating their money as well as time to their product.

Running up against WWE's NXT brand, AEW has continuously done well in the ratings and beat them almost every week in the coveted 18-49 demo. It has been able to garner a following amongst the younger audience.

The tag-team division has been a significant highlight of AEW's weekly programming. Despite the prevailing circumstances, AEW has recently made some exciting additions to an already stacked roster, including FTR, Abadon, and Ricky Starks.

The promotion has continuously been putting on stellar matches from Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes at 'Double or Nothing 2019', to the legendary tag-team match at the Revolution PPV and the Stadium Stampede Match.

The upcoming two-night Fyter Fest television special features a fresh, exciting set of matches, including Brian Cage challenging Jon Moxley for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, as well as Orange Cassidy taking on Chris Jericho.

In this list, we would like to run-down the top 5 AEW feuds that need to happen within the promotion sooner, rather than later.

#5 Brian Cage vs. Lance Archer

Brian Cage made his debut for AEW at the 'Double or Nothing' PPV

Lancer Archer and Brian Cage are two of the biggest and meanest stars in the world of professional wrestling right now. Both of them have been made to look quite strong in their run within the company. It is only a matter of time before the two juggernauts collide with each other.

Given the size of the two men and the athletic prowess they possess, the eventual clash would be great. It could be one of those vintage fights with both wrestlers trying to one-up each other with big moves.

With Tazz managing Cage and Jake Roberts being the 'brains' behind Archer, the promos would also turn out to be quite compelling.

Cage is en route to face Jon Moxley at Fyter Fest for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, and fans would be curious to see if the management puts the title on Cage so early into his run with the company. On the other hand, Archer, after losing to Cody at 'Double or Nothing,' needs a big feud to gather some much-needed momentum.

Whenever the two eventually collide, it would make for exciting TV, given that the two have never faced each other in singles action.

#4 FTR vs. The Young Bucks

The Young Bucks are dubbed as the 'Best Tag-Team in the World'

If there is one thing that AEW has done incredibly well within a short period, is making tag-team wrestling feel important. They have a stacked division featuring The Lucha Bros, Best Friends, SCU, and others. Tag-team wrestling has been one of the best parts of their weekly TV show, AEW Dynamite, as well.

Whether it was the classic tag-team bout at AEW Revolution, or The Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros at AEW All Out, AEW is on its way to make tag-team wrestling a main-event attraction.

The inclusion of FTR has bolstered the division, and fans cannot wait for them to collide with their long-time rivals, The Young Bucks. A feud built over 'Being the Elite' has left fans anxiously waiting for the two teams to clash in a wrestling ring. Ever since their release from WWE, fans have been long clamoring for FTR to lock horns with the Young Bucks.

There is no doubt that AEW would eventually deliver this feud, but it seems that they are waiting for fans to return to arenas. It will be a clash of two wrestling styles, which are poles apart, but one which will leave fans asking for more.

#3 Cody vs. Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley is the reigning AEW World Heavyweight Champion

Leaving the umbrella of WWE and opting to wrestle elsewhere has done wonders for both Cody Rhodes and the artist formerly known as Dean Ambrose. Ever since leaving WWE, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley has been on a complete tear and putting on some of the best work of his entire career.

His promos carry an intensity never seen within the realms of the scripted promos of WWE programming. His in-ring work in both NJPW and AEW has also been a marked improvement from his WWE days.

Meanwhile, Cody, as the first-ever AEW TNT Champion is delivering stellar performances one after another, while also putting over newer wrestlers. He is one of the purest babyfaces in the wrestling world right now, but can dial-up his heel persona with a single promo.

Moxley has shown his interest in facing Cody ever since he defeated Jericho to become the AEW World Heavyweight Champion at the AEW Revolution PPV. AEW would be wise enough to book a feud between two of the biggest names amongst their ranks.

Despite the over-arching stipulation with Cody never being able to challenge for the World title, AEW would surely find a way out to have these two face each other.

It would be great to see the epic promo battles between the two, which could make for some must-see TV.

#2 Adam 'Hangman' Page vs. Kenny Omega

Adam 'Hangman' Page and Kenny Omega are the reigning AEW Tag-Team Champions

Adam 'Hangman' Page slowly developing character arc has made him one of the most beloved wrestlers on the AEW roster. His antics and amusing character moments have greatly enhanced his stock, and he has the feel of a major star.

The partnership with Omega allowed Page to delve deeper into his character work. However, it is only a while before the cracks start to show up, and the friendship turns into a bitter rivalry.

The tag-team match at the AEW Revolution PPV, which received a 6-star rating from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, was an exquisite mix of intense wrestling action as well as compelling storytelling. The moment where it looked like Adam Page might hit Kenny Omega with a Buckshot Lariat has actually laid the seeds for this feud down the road. Many expect The Hangman to turn on his partner in the near future.

With no fans being in attendance, it seems like AEW has put the eventual feud and clash between the two on the backburner for now. However, when they do collide down the line, fans would go into a frenzy as they have been anxiously waiting for this one.

#1 Kenny Omega vs. Orange Cassidy

Kenny Omega is one-half of the reigning AEW Tag-Team Champions

Given the talents of these two men, they could comfortably put on a stellar comedy bout, similar to the one that took place between Orange Cassidy and PAC at the AEW Revolution PPV.

However, it would make sense for AEW to book a feud between a 'heel' Kenny Omega up against a 'babyface' Orange Cassidy. There has been criticism online amongst the AEW fanbase over the booking of Kenny Omega as many feel he has not been used to his full potential. However, his in-ring abilities are never in doubt as he is the best pure wrestler in the company right now.

It seems like it is just a matter of time before AEW puts the World Title on Omega, and he becomes the front and center of the programming. Orange Cassidy has been awesome whenever he is on TV and is no slouch in the ring either. It would make for enthralling viewing if he were to challenge Omega for the title eventually.

AEW has done well to keep Cassidy's character a hot property, and he feels like a major star in the making. AEW would be well aware that there is lots of money to be made from Omega's run to the top. With Cassidy getting the opportunity to dethrone him, it would make for a jaw-dropping moment.
