I stand by the idea that Sammy getting the win on MJF is the endgame for this feud

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I really like those moments where Jungle Boy gets pissed off and really kicks it up a notch in the ring.

I could see him working a little bit of that anger into his character (kind of like Kazarian does) when it's time to go to the next level. Play up that he's been *that close* to winning the big match dozens of times, and now he's not going to let it slip past him again.

I would find this satisfying. I think I'll probably enjoy the Wardlow vs MJF match that happens along the way more, but a Sammy vs MJF series has incredible potential.

Yeah, IC can win at Stampede and then Sammy sets out on a "you took everything from me, now I'm going to take everything from you" path to wreck MJF and The Pinnacle on his own/one by one. Let this MJF/Jericho thing evolve into MJF/Sammy so the focus shifts to two guys who are likely to be the future of the company while Jericho slowly fades out, maybe with an FTR/Sammy & Jericho tag match down the road as a little surprise or something.

Yeah, the thing I don't like about IC/Pinnacle is that they can seemingly only have group brawls. Why not have Sammy do some singles matches, or FTR vs PNP on Dynamite sometime? And yet there's no indication that anyone is even considering letting the members of the groups have individual matches.
Been saying this for a while

like even if it's a foregone conclusion that MJF will win any given singles match he's in, or that the tag teams will win matches but not get near the titles, or that when Hager has a singles match Spears will interfere and cost him the win: I still want to witness that stuff happening. If only so in my head the two stables have some connection points to AEW outside of their feud bubble.

IC but without Jericho is still incredibly viable. Maybe have Thunder Rosa become the new leader because she beat Jericho at poker.

Speaking of The Bucks, who the hell takes THEM down?

AEW has the deepest tag division possibly in history, but aside from The Bucks nobody else really is booked anywhere close to their level.

I don't think the Acclaimed is ready, All Eggo Scorpion Skye will probably get a losing title match, i don't think Moxley / Kingston take the belts (as loving COOL as that'd be), i almost want to say FTR is the only choice right now, in 3 - 4 months time when it's time for them to drop the belts or w/e it ends up being, i'd love for PnP and Best Friends to be at the top of the rankings, either would be fantastic, but feels like PnP will be busy running out the Pinnacle poo poo and Best Friends/Jurassic Express are maybe the best dark horse picks

I think PnP, Best Friends or Lucha Bros would be my picks. All have been workhorses for the company.

Absolutely. Double or Nothing. She bets her facepaint, he bets his spot in IC. he lays down a full house, she lays down 4 aces. Its loving symbolism, you seeee?

Also PnP vs Bucks needs to happen. Those guys are absolute workhorses for the tag division.

Anyway AEW is an unsafe place and the EVPs are constantly fighting.

It would add an interesting wrinkle to The Elite storyline if the Bucks lost the belts to Eddie/Mox, since the only reason they've been targeted by Eddie/Mox is because they joined forces with Kenny and Callis.

Jungle Boy is going to have to cut his hair at some point and I hope with all my being that he runs back the Goto/Suzuki postmatch and uses that to either turn heel or add some needed edge to his character.

One of the things I love about AEW is that they don't have to pussyfoot around the issue and try to fabricate some reason for them to fight. Jericho can come out and say 'I've wrestled every PWI #1 wrestler except for you'

It would still have to be a tag match though. I don't think Sting can wrestle solo anymore.

i liked some of JB's promo work where he seems like a young territories baby face, with the hair tied up and the big mutton chops and sleeveless tee, maybe kind of a dirtbag, but incredibly canny and a bit of an anti-hero you wanna root for, poo poo HE SHOULD JUST BECOME DARYL DIXON

I could see the Bucks losing it to Mox and Eddie, only because every single champ will be a heel, assuming that Britt beats Shida at the PPV. I have no doubt AEW can pull that off, but it's definitely going to give the show a different feel for a while.

But if it's not them, then I see Best Friends getting it down the line.

Given they’re about to go on tour again, having a gaggle of babyfaces chasing all the titles isn’t the worst thing in the world.

It's going to be interesting to see the crowd reaction to some of these people (particularly the people signed during the pandemic). I've seen some criticism of AEW for trying to push too many people at once instead of focusing on four or five people but I think the way they've approached things will pay off a lot.

I'm so happy to see Rocky "Sugar" Romero being in the Best Friends bits, the first bits felt just like the old Gentlemen's Club videos, just without the questionable jokes. OC and Kris were breaking so badly when Silver got kicked in the balls. Good to see the BTE title back on the main show, not sure if this pay-off was worth the (lack of) build on the Sammy vlog, but now I'm looking forward to Brandon being challenged by Allie next week. Great episode overall.

Even though Britt is a heel, I feel like everyone *wants* to see her win the title though.


Shida is a Babyface, but she's had a long run and I'm ready to see some different storylines and faces in the women's title scene.
