Cody recently responded to a tweet by saying that, yes, his TNT title open challenge is open to people outside the company.
Let's get the obvious issues out of the way: there are people working on contracts that only let them work for one televised promotion, there's a pandemic still going on and limiting all kinds of travel, particularly international, Cody could just be saying this as a kayfabe answer, etc.
But if things shake out right and non-AEW/non-contracted wrestlers can come in to challenge Cody, who would you like to see get the chance? I'd say stick to realistic options, but it'd be fun to spitball some more outlandish ones, too.
Wait, did I just say..."Outlandish"?
CODY, GIVE ZICKY DICE A SHOT, YA EGG SUCKIN' DAWG! After all, he's The World's Greatest Midcard Wrestler!

Dice would be great, since he's the NWA TV Champion, but not sure the NWA would want their TV champ to lose to AEW's TNT champ soooo......30 minute time limit draw!?

This could be a great way to have Marty appear while allowing him to promote or at least mention his home territories.

Zicky Dice is an outstanding choice to face Cody. Marty seems to be the obvious choice since he's back on BTE. Maybe a less obvious choice, but I saw Gringo Loco in the crowd, wearing full gear, on Dynamite. If Cody holds the belt for a lengthy time I could see Nick Aldis eventually being one of his potential challengers.

Honestly I'm starting to suspect this whole open challenge thing is basically just a ploy to push Cody to a heel turn - all his plans go up in smoke because Jungle Boy manages to beat him and then he freaks out and kills him.

Assuming travel restrictions weren't an issue, Minoru Suzuki.

Assuming travel restrictions weren't an issue, Minoru Suzuki. Archer slips him a key to the back door, and the King takes over AEW. Now someone book me an AEW invasion angle where Suzuki is Shao Kahn, Archer is Goro, and Jake Roberts is Shang Tsung. Gringo Loco is definitely an interesting name; guy's pretty damn over in MLW, and his unique combination of look and in-ring style could be a pretty big hit in front of a wider audience.

The only question I have when it comes to Suzuki in AEW: does he own the rights to Kaze Ni Nare or does NJPW? Because hearing that in an AEW arena as a response to Cody's challenge would be a "holy shit" moment.

Rusev in a green and red mask. Call him "The Tank".
He wins and unmasks. There, a proper AEW debut and pop.

Kaze Ni Nare is an original tune, not a NJPW production; Suzuki uses it everywhere he goes, including other puro promotions. It's sort of like how a number of AEW guys got outside artists to do their music so they can use it anywhere; I think that's how Will Ospreay did his current Elevated theme, too.

I don't really want him as a guy sticking around, but Hardcore Holly showing up for a match would be fun, especially since you know they'd shoot a BTE cameo for it.
