I need to be careful here, as I'm sure you can dunk slam my logic. I highly doubt he is the real Aegon. While I am skeptical about the Illyrio - Blackfyre connection, if it were true, and fAegon is a Blackfyre, that will not stay hidden. I think he's going to gain some popular support, and he might produce a famous sword. By the time Dany gets to Westeros, it will bring them into conflict. Clearly there would be a lot of obstacles to overcome for there to be another literal dance with dragons. But i like the idea, because those two families bring out the crazy in each other!

so i'll just start at the top. popular belief is that Aegon is a fake, i subscribe to this as well. but i will admit, its a tough pill to swallow. Jon Connington was Rhaegar's best friend and some folks believe Connington had romantic thoughts about Rhaegar as well. Now we have to remember that Connington was exiled before Aegon would have been killed (Connington was exiled during Roberts Rebellion after the incident at the Stoney Sept). we are never sure when Connington could have discovered that Aegon would have survived, although i wouldnt be shocked if Varys played a role there. but then that all begs the question, 'why?'. why would Illyrio and Varys go to such great lengths to help Aegon? it is implied and assumed that the clothes given to Tyrion by Illyrio in season 5 are the former clothes of Aegon from his time with Illyrio. He definitely could produce a missing valyrian steel sword (maybe Blackfyre or Dark Sister (altho its possible the 3 eyed raven has dark sister), or possible the missing Lannister blade of Brightroar). as much as GRRM loves history, and as cyclical as history is, another "dance of the dragons" isnt really possible when only one side has dragons. that said, i really do think its possible for Aegon to be a blackfyre, and i think its possible Aegon and Dany hookup to reunite the greens and the blacks and end the feud once and for all.
