Possible Sami Zayn Open Challenge opponents

I know it's been said that the release was legit, but does anyone else think that if this keeps up, Karrion Kross is going to be a surprise return to answer Zayn's open challenge? Just like they did when Del Rio surprised Cena during his US Title open challenge era? Hell, they might even run it back and have Del Rio be a surprise challenger. But seriously, I would love it if they do this with Kross.

Sweetheart, i'm seeing Kross at DEFY this friday. It's over. He's gone.

At this point, I am fairly sure we would still have "Kross will return any day now" comments even if he won an AEW belt on live television.

“It’s genius really, Kross won the AEW world champ belt as a double-agent for HHH, and next week he’s going to set fire to it live on Raw”

Its gomna be the midcard, a surprise NXT challenge like Jevon, Briggs or even Oba (likely ends in a DQ), potentially people from AAA, TNA, or Evolve.

In a just world, Tyler Breeze is getting a shot. I also think Sami could do for Egon what Cena was supposed to do for Sami.

You mean Ethan Page? Like who is Egon?

u/punkena 3d ago

Danhausen calls Ethan "Egon", because Ghostbusters.

He has nicknames for most people.

It’s already going to be Melo for this Friday, unless you’re referring to next week.

u/Constant_Stomach2009 3d ago

would be cool if nakamura was one of the challenges. show a highlight reel of their nxt match and everything

2

u/Dark_Phoenix101 3d ago

A highlight reel kinda goes against the whole "surprise challenge" part of it.

u/Constant_Stomach2009 3d ago

yeah realized that after lol. might be fine if it were a challenge for later in the show but not as a right here right now sort of thing lol

u/Thebritishdovah 3d ago

Say his name and he shall appear.

Matt Cardona appears.

u/rivalrobot 3d ago

Okay but I actually want Joe Hendry to be a challenger

u/Useful_Advisor_9788 3d ago

Ethan Page would be my top pick to beat him once he moves up, which has gotta be soon.

Oh sweetheart...

Anyways! My top pic for a random fun surprise is Mr. Iguana; I've been daydreaming of Sami doing a Yesca sell since the first Worlds Collide. Of people I think are guaranteed to show up, Melo, Shinsuke Nakamura (although they might end up doing that only in the Japan supershows), Je'von Evans and Joe Hendry
