We've all been waiting for All Elite Wrestling and their weekly TV program to begin, and now we know, October 2nd in Washington D.C will be the beginning, and we've even had several matches announced.

On top of Sammy Guevara vs. Cody and a Jon Moxley appearance, we now have the above match which sees The Elite taking on Chris Jericho and two mystery partners, and it's got the entire internet talking.

The AEW tag team division is already full of incredible tag teams, and whether these mystery opponents come from AEW's current roster or surprise debuts, this could be a chance for AEW to make a huge splash on their first TNT appearance.

So without further ado, sit back and read along as we look forward to October 2nd and give you 5 of the best/most likely options to be Chris Jericho's mystery partners to battle The Elite (Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks).


#5 The Dark Order

When The Dark Order first appeared at Double or Nothing, fans were quite confused about who they were, as this is a far cry from their former gimmick of 'Super Smash Bros'.

Evil Uno and Stu Grayson have incredible talent, and whether you like the gimmick and The Creepers or not, it's hard to deny that they'll be a big part of the tag team division going forward.

At All Out, they'll be battling Best Friends to get a first-round in the upcoming AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament, and no matter how that match goes, it's clear that the company are confident in their abilities.

All Elite would likely like to make a big splash with their first appearance on TNT, so they will be looking to bring someone in from the outside, but given a good story with someone already signed to AEW, The Dark Order are the best option, despite how unlikely it may be.

#4 Aussie Open

The U.K has been a hotbed of independent wrestling over the past few years, and while WWE is seemingly taking over that territory, there is still plenty of talent there for AEW to bring into the fold.

The duo of Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis are the best tag team left on the indie scene over there and given their likability, athleticism and natural charisma, they'd be a good team to add to the AEW tag team division.

They have ties to New Japan given their success against Suzuki-Gun in Revolution Pro, but they've had success in all the big promotions such as Progress and wXw, and even made their debut for PWG this year.

Given all of these accomplishments, it's only a matter of time until they're signed to a big company, and while they aren't as well known as the other teams on this list, they'd be a good choice for the future of All Elite Wrestling.

#3 G.O.D

Will Tonga make the jump to AEW?
Will Tonga make the jump to AEW?

Due to contractual obligations, this one may be a bit far-fetched but anything in wrestling is possible in 2019 though, and there's two men that would make more sense in this spot here.

Before AEW became a reality, The Elite were members of Bullet Club, and constantly butted heads with the NJPW Bullet Club, and it was the leader of the group, Tama Tonga, that was at the head of those arguments.

Tonga has stayed true to New Japan despite seemingly everyone from Bullet Club walking away. If he is coming to AEW to make their mark on The Bucks and Kenny would be a very interesting story to tell.

Chris Jericho is the top heel in All Elite Wrestling, and there are few in the business today that garner true heat like Tonga in New Japan, so this one would be incredible to see, depending on their availability to appear in All Elite Wrestling.

#2 Lucha Bros

Will the Lucha Bros face the Young Bucks again?
Will the Lucha Bros face the Young Bucks again?

Lucha Bros are arguably the best tag team in the world today, and while seeing them in the main event of the first TV show makes sense, it's probably the most anti-climactic choice for All Elite Wrestling.

After All Out, the duo of Fenix and Pentagon have faced The Young Bucks three times in the first four shows for AEW, and doing it again would certainly be overkill, but you can't discount them as an option.

We've not seen them interact with Chris Jericho during the run of AEW so far, so the story would have to be a good one to bring them together, but at this point, it's not likely to be these two.

However, given their star power and abilities, plus their chemistry with The Bucks, it's definitely possible, but right now, their future in AEW may be as singles stars, so we'll just have to see.

#1 LAX

Will we see LAX in AEW?

Ever since the contracts of LAX (Santana and Ortiz) came to an end over the past few months, there has been constant talk about AEW or WWE, but it's safe to say that right now, the former seems to be the best option.

Given the wealth of talent in the tag team division in All Elite Wrestling, the new opponents for LAX would make for some incredible bouts, and given this, the company is the favourite to gain their signature.

In Impact, Santana and Ortiz worked mainly as babyface's, so pairing them with Chris Jericho against the face combo of The Elite would be an odd choice, but it's a splash that they need to make on their first TV show.

LAX up against the likes of Lucha Bros, The Young Bucks, Best Friends and the rest of the division on the big stage is absolute money, so whether they get this spot or appear in another way, LAX to AEW simply needs to happen.
