5 Intriguing "Outside" Challengers For AEW TNT Champion Cody Rhodes
Who could step up and answer "The American Nightmare's" TNT Championship Open Challenge?
4. Nick Aldis
The NWA Worlds Heavyweight champion is one of the most complete performers that's not bound to the latter-day big two, or to New Japan. Through his eloquent, confident promos, and his crisp wrestling style, Aldis feels like a Nick Bockwinkel for the contemporary world.
He and Cody do share a history, having exchanged the "Ten Pounds of Gold" in 2018, including in Cody's emotional victory at All In. A fine technical struggle between the two, given a good amount of time and space, would lend legitimacy to the brand new belt.
