#2 Who will challenge Jericho for his title?

All Out saw the crowning of the first-ever AEW World Champion, as Chris Jericho defeated Hangman Page in the main event of the night to lift the title. The company went for a more experienced and well-known star in Jericho over a young Page to help them establish globally.

Whether or not that was the correct decision is up to your point of view. But what is done is done, and the big question now is - who will challenge Jericho for his title first? Interestingly, there were few hints given on the show as to who can and who cannot be the first challenger.

Firstly, there's no way Kenny Omega will be the guy as he lost to PAC on the show and also has unfinished business with Jon Moxley, whom he was originally supposed to face. In all likeliness, Moxley will win that feud between the two and might be a good option to challenge for the world title after that.

Cody Rhodes is another option as he has decent victories over the likes of Dustin Rhodes and Shawn Spears. But including him in the title picture straight away would be a risk as fans might not like an executive getting the main event push so soon.
