5 possible opponents for AEW World Champion Chris Jericho

#2 Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes

It's only a matter of time before we get to see Cody Rhodes inserted into the title picture. In addition to holding a major position in the company, Cody has shown time and again that he can hang in the ring and wow the audience. Since AEW came into being, Cody has defeated Dustin Rhodes, Darby Allin, and now, Shawn Spears.

After these victories over the course of the past three months, it won't be a surprise if AEW announces soon that Rhodes will be the next opponent for Jericho. These two Superstars are no strangers to each other, and have squared off on several occasions while in WWE.

#1 Jon Moxley

When Moxley debuted at AEW Double Or Nothing, he interrupted Jericho, who was berating the live crowd after his victory over Kenny Omega. Moxley took Jericho out with Dirty Deeds, and set his sights next on Omega. We never got a payoff to this face-off, but there's a big chance that it'll happen soon.

Moxley has stated that he will be 100% by the time AEW's weekly TNT show kicks off this October. Ideally, Moxley could appear at the first episode and challenge Jericho for the World title at the upcoming Full Gear PPV. Again, these two have wrestled in WWE, and are fully capable of producing a quality match. The verbal back and forth between these two would be a sight to behold.
