#4 MJF

MJF
MJF

Tonight at All Out, MJF came out to the ring accompanying his friend Cody Rhodes, who took on Shawn Spears. The match saw WCW legend Arn Anderson come out and hit a Spinebuster on Spears. After Cody defeated Spears with a Cross Rhodes, MJF showed signs of betrayal for a short while, but then tossed the chair and hugged Cody.

Now that Cody has won a huge match against the dastardly villain in Spears, he might be setting himself up for a potential World title match down the line. The storyline could see MJF wanting the shot for himself, hesitating to turn on his friend on several occasions, and then finally doing the unthinkable. Although a heel vs heel scenario isn't as ideal as what we are used to seeing, a short rivalry with Jericho will certainly help MJF bag some much-needed exposure.


#3 PAC

PAC
PAC

Moxley's loss turned into a blessing for PAC, as he was announced as the replacement for All Out. Fans of PAC are well aware of the fact that he is fully capable of producing magic in the squared circle, if given an opportunity. He did just that tonight against Omega, as an exciting encounter ended with PAC submitting Omega to the point that the referee had to stop the match. This is as dominant as one could possibly get!

Naturally, with a huge victory over Jericho's arch-rival, PAC would want to capitalize on his momentum and go for the coveted prize next. This could be an interesting clash of different wrestling styles, and would act as a major boost for PAC's career going forward, even if he doesn't come out of the feud with the title on his shoulders.
