It already feels like they’re going to hot shot the title back to Drew tonight.

So the original plan seems like it was:

Orton wins the title -> Edge wins Rumble -> Orton/Edge III at Mania with Edge winning.

Now it seems like it could be Drew winning, Edge wins the rumble, sometime between now and Mania The Fiend wins the belt off Drew and we get Fiend/Edge at Mania. Harder to say if Edge would win there or if they’ll keep up with the “legend killer” bit they were doing with Fiend.

Weber scored 49 points?

:allears: :allears: :allears:
^^^ and yea it was obvious since Smackdown that Drew was winning, why else visit Smackdown (I forget if Randy did, doubt it). Plus Michael Cole just wouldn't shut the gently caress up about that the winner gets to goto Survivor Series, plus he had (Face?0 Shaemus giving him a sword, while Randy just did a gently caress off 1min promo

you wanna bet on Edge loving the Fiend up then dying due to being 90? Money Plane

Make it Nikki and Killian Dain.

And have Dain squash him.

And then send him back to NXT because even the dumb Drake stuff is better than what he'd do on Raw.

And then fire Bray.


...Actually you know what, just skip the first 3 steps.

Remember how exciting the idea of Edge returning to WWE was and the small handful of dream matches and interactions we could've gotten

Only to end up with a literal one year Orton feud

No, because Edge's neck is made of wooden nickels and he just need to keep doing quirky Sci-Fi shows or gems like "Money Plane" and not do crap that look like Benoit tribute spots.

He's the reason the name "Edge Neck" is around in the first place

They were only ever going to put him with the safest, most boring wrestlers. And then he tore his loving tricep anyway and got put on the shelf for at least 6 months.

Was this the year that Edge and Orton had 'The greatest wrestling match ever'? How has that title held up? I'm guessing it's probably not even in the top 20

The Greatest Wrestling Match. Of 2020. Was Yuka Sakazaki vs Mizuki.

Adam Page vs. John Silver:

Good match, Silver has it all. He got in some good offense and countered a Buckshot Lariat by catching Page with a hurricanrana as he landed after flipping over the ropes. Page eventually won with the lariat. Dark Order in the ring after the match with a proposition for Page...

Will Hobbs wins a squash match to "you sold out" chants. Taz cuts a promo after the match, causing Cody to come out. They argue about the FTW title.

Top Flight vs. TH2:

Great, fast paced match thats basically what you'd expect from these guys. Bit of a spotfest, with TH2 winning. TH2 with extra stuff after the match prompts the Bucks to run in and return the favor from last week.

SCU vs. Hager and Jericho:

Jericho and Daniels start and Jericho gets the upper hand, but loses it quickly when Kaz gets tagged in. Jericho gets to Hager and the big guy takes over. Jericho heels from the outside a bit, but doesn't really ever have control when he's in the match (something MJF might notice?). Jericho and Hager win, and Inner Circle jumps in the ring after the match. Scorpio Sky out for the save, and Inner Circle bails.

Contract Signing:

Omega out with the Cleaner business, North Carolina and all from Justin Roberts. Moxley jumps him out of nowhere and hits a Paradigm Shift, then cuts a promo while Kenny is out in the ring. Moxley seems to think Omega is who attacked him, saying that it doesn't weaken him, just pisses him off. He says the best two wrestlers on the planet are going at it and signs the contract, leaving it with Kenny, who's still out in the ring.

Anna Jay vs. Shida for the Women's Championship:

You didn't think there was a chance Anna Jay was winning the title, did you? Shida retains. After the match, Abaddon returns from injury and is pretty mad.

Butcher and Blade vs. Fenix and Pac:

Cool combo suicide dive and moonsault combo to the outside early by Fenix and Pac. Pac and Blade trade shots early. Fenix and Butcher come in and ot spells outside. Bunny screams a lot. Back inside, Pac and Fenix work tandem offense on Blade. Blade eventually gets to a tag and Butcher throws Fenix around for a bit before tagging back. Fenix hits a rebound cutter allowing him to get to a tag. Pac with kicks like mad, goes for a shooting star press, but Blade moves. Pac lands on his feet and rolls through, but Butcher gets tagged and plows him with a clothesline. Everyone winds up outside again, with more screaming from Bunny. Distraction from outside allows Butcher and Blade to pick up the win. Kingston and the boys heel a bit and continue the beat down. Surprise run in from Lance Archer clears the ring, and the show ends with Archer standing tall.

Yeah I don't like the sound of that finish. There are so many things they could do with this story but I think they've already made a couple of missteps by reforming the death triangle too early and having Pac take a loss this soon.

Kind of into the idea of a violence triangle feud among three factions. Gotta get a tag team for Archer to pal around with for the three way Blood & Guts or whatever.

Yeah the match ends with Kingston's Family and Death Triangle fighting each other to a tainted victory for the heels, only for the monster Eddie Kingston pissed off during his single minded pursuit of the belt to finally remind people that Godzilla is in this movie. Like Death Triangle has no real quarrel with Lance, so it kind of makes sense that a surprise Murderhawk Monster would clear the ring so that Lance can stand tall over Eddie Kingston.

Butt first, let's

I don't love Pac taking the loss but I could justify it as 'tag teams should beat singles if Jericho and Hager didn't get a win (ugh) in the same show. And yeah, the Archer thing feels weird. I dunno. See how it airs.

Who would be a good tag team to round out Archer’s trios team? FTR?

Only if Tully announces he and Jake are teaming up for that, and that Shawn Spears has been let go from his management.

Chaos Project. Putting Serpentico with Jake is the most natural thing in the world. Archer could carry him to the ring in a bag.

Yeah, it follows up on Eddie's "I see you, Lance" from a few weeks ago.

I feel like Eddie somehow managing to get an extra body is weird given that Eddie Kingston's entire deal right now is reaping what he has sown in terms of being a toxic person who is alienating everyone around him to the best of his abilities.

Lance as a chaotic force of nature is a good characterization for him against Eddie's straight up villain and Death Triangle's almost antihero status.

Maybe I remember it wrong but despite turning out to be mostly accurate didn't most of these AEW spoilers end up having one or two short segments in them that ended up not happening? E.g. the match when Cody lost the TNT title to Brodie Lee being just as described except the spoiler mentioned interference from Cardona which obviously didn't happen.

That whole episode’s spoilers were fake. The last ep that got spoiled we’re largely accurate except it included Cardona showing up to turn on Cody which was edited out almost immediately.

what's funny is that that segment DID have billy gunn giving a fame asser, so the only possible conclusion is that the person writing the spoilers could not differentiate matt cardona from billy gunn, and could not identify cody on the entrance stage with arn anderson
