I don't see Punk winning the title at DoN. Jay challenging for the IWGP title at Dominion and Forbidden Door being built around Bullet Club is really telegraphing a title switch. The main event of Forbidden Door is likely gonna be champ vs. champ and Hangman/Jay makes way more sense than Punk/Jay

That would be a good place for his growing confidence to bite him. It's a big match that he can lose without dropping the title.

If Jay White just kinda washed him that'd be a really interesting twist and sets up like a lifetime feud

I quite liked the Jay/Hangman matches in New Japan(even though it was weird for me seeing the relative power of the Buckshot and the Deadeye reversed) and a third would loving whip given how much they've both grown since then

No way are they doing champ vs champ, the politics are too big a hurdle. 2 separate title matches are more likely or a tag match with the champions

Yeah I don't think you could really do it with any other pairing, maybe Hangman/Okada but certainly not if Punk was there. Hangman's character allows for him to suffer setbacks and his history with Jay and Bullet Club would make it feel purposeful plus AEW and New Japan talent are doing lots of talent sharing so Jay can always show up to give the L back on Hangman's home turf

Chicago, IL, famously hostile ground for AEW.

If they're trading wins, AEW goes over here and New Japan wins on the second show in Osaka or Hiroshima or whatever

While it will probably be someone else doing the Japanese commentary for Dynamite this week, I'd like to think Shingo watched the Wardlow match and was filled with glee at seeing him demolish security at the end.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I was getting heel vibes from Hangman during his Punk promo. Along with his new confidence, it seems like his character is heading in a new direction.

What if it is champ Vs champ and Hangman loses which pushes his overconfidence into heelish “do whatever it takes to win”

That was a definite heel promo. He picked on a specific fan because they were wearing a CM Punk shirt. I'm not sure how much of a character shift we can extrapolate from it though. It's currently face vs face, one of them has got to change something*, even if just for the match.

*for a given value of "got to"

The lawsuit is literally about ShopAEW though, it says it right on the first page of the document that is in the tweet people are talking about.



It is pretty lovely to make jokes about blind people being blind though.

They've shoved a generic accessibility widget onto ShopAEW.com this morning (it wasn't there a couple of days ago according to archive.org) so AEW have obviously decided the complaint has some merit (as they should have!).

Birds revere you and consider you one of their own.

You are welcome in their holy places.
I had the idea that the perfect crossover event for two companies who did not want to lose more than the other guy would be all tag matches. So if it was AEW and NJPW, it'd be one AEW babyface and one NJPW babyface vs. one AEW heel and one NJPW heel. Then no matter how the outcomes work out, neither company looks better than the other.

although ive never been to one irl i kinda wish they would. the only commentary piping into the venue ive seen is triple a events

back when we had nfl season tickets i would always always have the local announce crew in my ear
