I think FTR vs. PnP is being built for All Out as a de-facto #1 contender's match.

I dunno if they can draw that out for two months.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
I really want the Lucha Brothers to be the team that takes the titles, as good as they are teaming with Eddie or PAC any of those pairings just doesn't feel right with the titles. It's a shame the Lucha Bros are currently trapped in some sort of curse where one them is always injured at any given time.

I think I'd like to see the Bucks drop the belts before Kenny does. I want the pressure of being the only Elite member with gold to be part of his descent into madness

I feel like that's the plan. The walls start closing in and he becomes more and more unhinged. The locker room comes together against the Elite and they start to crack little by little due losing titles and Kenny's increasing volatility.

I don't either, especially since they want a lot of the upcoming shows to feel special and they'll need big matches. If anything I see them doing a Tag Team Casino Battle Royale at All Out

Cody could re-involve himself in The Elite but stick to his stip of not challenging for the World title.

It would probably be Too Much to have all of the EVPs as a cheating top heel faction, but recently I was thinking about how an unexpected Cody turn to reunite with Kenny and the Bucks could be a good final galvanizing moment to set up the final act and downfall of The Elite. Have the squad of babyfaces think all their bases are covered for a big match where they eliminate all the interference threats only for Cody to pop up and twist the knife, let Hangman truly stand alone as the only righteous force among the group that founded the company

Although maybe subconsciously I was just fantasizing about ways for Cody to become part of the rest of the TV show again

actually just after making this post I realize it would be very dumb to make one of your first shows back on the road have a big match that was pre filmed not in front of the crowd.

I think Cody’s whole thing is he wants to be the face of the company in a media sense, so instead of putting himself into the ongoing interwoven stories of the rest of the promotion where removing him for one reason or another might gently caress things up, he asked to be put in a lower level of the show where he, QT, and his brother can work with what’s essentially developmental talent and if he has to take a month off to shoot a TV show or do a couple weeks of media in another country to promote the company, he can do that without it rocking the whole boat while also maximizing the use of his star power to spotlight folks they’re tapping to be future future stars. Basically be in a Jericho role for the new kids, while Jericho puts over the guys carrying the company in the immediate future like OC, MJF, Sammy, Jungle Boy, etc.

Hell, both guys were even used to establish the titles. Once they put someone over big, they’ve never floated near those belts again.

i don't think it will happen but it'd be cool if once Hangman gets the belt off Kenny, Cody starts trying to befriend him because of the shared american iconography between them and gets frustrated how over Hangman is while his american exceptionalism angle is met with a more tepid response. Then he asks for a fight ignoring the no world champion challenge stip, gets it, loses, they reconcile, and MJF gets loving incensed that Cody broke it. My running theory has always been that Hangman and MJF have been on a collision course ever since they established themselves as the top rising talent face and heel respectively so this slips that in nicely.

Wasn't Hangman brought into Bullet Club by Cody? There are some interesting parallels if they want to dive that deep into his pre-AEW history.

Tranq dart finish is reserved for Miro, surely

I can see Eddie and Penta taking the titles and Pac really not liking it and breaking up Death Triangle. Like, in principle.

Evil Badman posted:

He took advantage of Jericho trying to cheat at Full Gear, but that match was all over in regards to rules. Also, he's the heeliest heel on the roster. His gimmick is "I'm better than you, and you know it," and it crumbles to dust when you kick out of a top-rope tombstone.
See I never take that sort of thing as "aw I guess MJF isn't actually that good" but more like "wow Sammy is that good, huh". To me it elevates the guy kicking out of a move more than it brings down the guy doing the move. Protecting finishers notwithstanding, obvs.

Not sure I agree with this one, cause "gently caress the fans" has been a pretty explicit thing with this incarnation of the elite.
