I wonder who will be the one to surrender? I could see it being Jericho and that leading to the Inner Circle falling apart.

Yeah, I'm betting something like Jericho surrendering to save Sammy from being permanently injured.

Who knows? An exploding barb wire death match didn't finish the Omega/Moxley feud, so it's really a coin-toss.
After Mox beat Kenta, I figured they were doing the best they could to build up the IWGP US title with a few big Mox wins before pulling the trigger on Kenny's Belt Collector angle, but now I'm not sure if they're going to do this or just have Blue Dad take it away because Mox isn't doing anything with it. Kenny doesn't need every belt to be a World championship, he just needs MORE BELTS. He's already carrying a defunct one that's presumably going to be merged out of existence.

Therefore, we should all tweetbomb Coward Tony into booking a Kenny Omega/Brian Cage match for the FTW title.

The feud seems too new and there are too many matchups that still need to happen (MJF vs Jericho, FTR vs PNP etc) but Blood and Guts really feels like the type of match that should be the blowoff of the feud

I thought that at first, but on the other hand, if we had already seen most of the permutations of the individual/tag matches, I'm not sure if it would have this much fire. That promo felt like all these guys are just itching to get their hands on each other and I don't know if that would be as strong if the team members had already wrestled each other a bunch.

It kinda feels like they're going that way, but at this point I'm just assuming they're never getting over Mox.

This seems like exactly the kinda thing Chris "why get pinned when I can just fall into a vat of orange goo" Jericho would do to put over MJF without actually putting over MJF.

dude this is a loving face theme. It's 2am and i'm more convinced than ever that Lucha Bros will take the belts and hair off the bucks in another PPV or two

I think DoN the Bucks put down SCU. At some special summer dynamite, like Fyter Fest or Fight for the Fallen, they beat FTR again. All Out hair vs mask match for the belts.
Lucha Bros' side is that DoN has DT vs BF trios match. Maybe a Team Taz feud in the middle there, but mostly PAC starts getting his turn with Kenny after Moxley and Kingston's blowout with the Elite.

Well, Death Triangle was formed in what, last march? Then on and off delayed? So they probably had layers of the pandemic and thinking PAC would be back to do most of the talking.

But then I'm actually really eager to see Alex with Penta and PAC. If he's hyped now imagine what he's gonna be like representing the whole drat triangle.

Nobody knew what the opener was going in. Even if they did the last 3 months of Hangmin have just been him racking up wins in matches with little/no setup.
Brian Cage squash throws a wrench into everything. But now I'm wondering who Kenny will face at the PPV. Is this some kind of sidewards way to get Kenny v Christian at the PPV? Because that wouldn't be great.

More likely is that Page/Sky become a New-Dayesque comedy act and 'All Ego' turns into 'All Eggo' and he throws waffles into the crowd.

I think they just want a reason to keep a title shot away from Page right now because it’s not the time for him to be fighting Omega again. Honestly they should take the opportunity to to a king of trios and have Page, Reynolds, and Cabana (or Silver if he’s fit again) team up to give Page something to do for a while

Hopefully August is when the switch happens. Because 8 months of Kenny, Don and the Good Brothers is quite enough. Especially since Kenny seems incapable of feuding with anybody but Moxley.
Hmmmm...maybe IC wins Blood and Guts and we wind up with IC vs Elite for a few months. It would make The Pinnacle look like chumps but right now The Elite have all the gold. The Pinnacle has nothing to move onto even if they do win. Except the TNT title possibly.

Great show from top to bottom. OC/Penta was great of course, and I liked 10's promo. Heartfelt. I hope he continues to grow. I wanted him to win :unsmith:

I thought it was weird that they didn't show Kenny with his 3 belts. Why even do the belt collector if you're not gonna show it on TV? He just won the Impact belt, that's huge! Show us!

AEW does so many things right. It's an amazing company. They even paired Page/Sky together, so I can ignore them more efficiently!

Best thing about Penta and Rey right now is that you can use them as faces or heels with equal ease. They both get huge audience reactions, they're both super cool, but they're also both Rudo assholes. So against Best Friends they're absolutely natural heels, but if a live crowd heard "Kenny, Penta says he wants your belt" there would be a huge pop.

I know AEW usually only runs tag team matches between established named teams, but a good feature match, maybe a Dark main or something, they could do would be continuing an existing program from this week, but add a smallish Canadian veteran to each side, face and heel, to make sure it all goes smoothly.

I refer of course to Cage and Page vs Cage and Page
