Let's take a closer look at 5 reasons why Christian Cage should challenge for Kenny Omega's AEW World Championship.
#5 Christian Cage vs Kenny Omega in AEW is a dream match
If you had asked a professional wrestling fan 12 months ago if we could ever see Christian Cage vs Kenny Omega, the answer would have been a firm 'no.'
Christian retired from in-ring competition in 2014 due to concussion-related injuries. Captain Charisma confirmed in several interviews that he didn't see himself returning to the ring as he was unable to be medically cleared by WWE. Therefore, the concept of Christian Cage facing off against Kenny Omega inside an AEW ring, a rival competitor to WWE no less, was an even further impossibility.
That is the true definition of a dream match. A match that is impossible for a variety of reasons: Wrestlers that are in rival promotions, competitors from different generations or time periods and when one of the wrestlers is no longer able to compete. Matches that can only take place in one’s imagination, hence being a dream match.
For a long time, Kenny Omega vs Christian Cage fell into that category. Due to Christian Cage's miraculous return to the ring, the dream match once thought impossibile is now a reality. AEW would be foolish not to capitalize on what could be an all-time classic match.
