'Those are two guys who are pretty damn good' - Christian Cage reveals what AEW stars he'd like to face
Christian Cage has revealed some of the young AEW stars he would like to face during his time with the company.
The former two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion has been part of the promotion since the Revolution pay-per-view in March 2021 and has enjoyed a good amount of success since then.
Cage won the IMPACT World Championship on the premiere episode of AEW Rampage in August 2021, defeating Kenny Omega. However, Omega returned the favor by successfully retaining the AEW World Championship in the main event of the All Out pay-per-view in September 2021.
In a recent interview with ET Canada, Christian cited MJF and Ricky Starks as two names he would like to face in AEW.
"I think there are the obvious ones like MJF. He is very gifted on the microphone and that sometimes even overshadows the fact that he’s very good in the ring. And I look at a guy like Ricky Starks, who is also super talented. He can really talk. He’s got that kind of aura about him, there’s something there with him. He has the potential to be a huge star. Those are the kind of two guys off the top of my head that I think are pretty damn good." (H/T Wrestling Headlines).
