I'm a big mythology geek so it might be the trials in reverse. Jericho was already at the Pantheon as AEW champion and MJF is working him backwards through the Trials of Hercules gimmick by having him metaphorically kill his family until Jericho becomes the Judas. Jericho loses, taken off TV for a while while MJF gets over as the next big heel behind Kenny.

Jericho loves putting people over. PnP and Sammy are over as hell now, MJF is over as hell. After this feud, Jericho isn't necessary anymore, he got a ton of people over and can take a break. The other thing Jericho loves is re-inventing himself, and he's one of the few people in the wrestling industry good at it (Except Painmaker it was lame)

Sammy needs the kind of run that MJF and Darby have already gotten, and I think this whole feud relies on Sammy being the one to ultimately beat MJF, not Jericho.

I remember thinking it looked cool back in the day when Elix Skipper did it.

Going back and watching some highlights, he probably did it more fluidly than anyone after, but it's still a stupid move that doesn't look like it hurts.

The cameras didn't catch all of it, but when he jumped over the turnbuckle Nemeth just freezes in place, mouth agape the whole time. He didn't move again until Dante got back into the ring; it was a really funny beat.

My knee jerk answer was to put all five Best Friends on it so the season would somehow end with zero points across the board

I have legitimately thought about what a shame it was that Taskmaster US was such a flop, because getting professional wrestlers on that show would loving rule

In the last 15 months Britt has lost a handful of matches

Hikaru Shida (She won the title off her afterwards)
Nyla Rose (She successfully defended the title against her)

She hasn't won against
Thunder Rosa
Yuka Sakazaki
Big Swole

It's Yuka's last week on tour, give us the match coward Tony. Then give us Big Swole and Thunder Rosa.

I thought this too, but it may just be that Darius doesn’t want to do the traveling with an injury. Being on a plane with a bad knee sucks a lot and you don’t want to take a chance on making the injury worse or lengthening the healing time.

I know some are a lot higher on Big Swole, but I just dont think she is good in the ring. I'd rather see Diamante against Britt

If the relationship between AEW and NWA are solid, I think Swole winning the title at EmPowerrrr would boost both companies. Swole is over but she needs work, and NWA needs a name big enough to draw shows. The NWA Women's title has almost become the secondary women's title in AEW

I think Pac's late-2018 DG title run after WWE had him on the shelf for a year was the best I've ever seen him look. I'm pretty sure he just spent all that downtime angrily working out.
