He faces a tough challenge as he takes on Dark Order&#8217;s John Silver. For those unfamiliar with Deppen, he&#8217;s a well-rounded talent but really shines in the technical aspects of chain wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Though Ring of Honor is where he&#8217;s been most successful, Deppen has also been a highlight in <strong>GCW<\/strong>. With strong showings against <strong>Bandido<\/strong>, <strong>Taiji<\/strong> <strong>Ishimori<\/strong>, and <strong>Dragon<\/strong> <strong>Lee. <\/strong>Deppen is a talent that can&#8217;t be overlooked. Still, it&#8217;s hard to go against Silver in this match-up. &#8220;Johnny Hungee&#8221; might be a fixture in AEW&#8217;s tag-team division, but he has shown himself to be a strong singles competitor.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his most impressive outings have come against former AEW World title challengers <strong>Adam<\/strong> <strong>Cole<\/strong> and <strong>Bryan<\/strong> <strong>Danielson<\/strong>. He did come up short in those match-ups but pushed both men more than most. Silver will walk away with the win in this one but expect Deppen to make a case to be the next recipient of the All Elite treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>More From Last Word on Sports<\/h3>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
