Every AEW ep needs to end with a snippet of Eddie Kingston screaming about something.

Oh, so this is why ItohRespectArmy thinks the end game is AEW owning TNA.

Alright, I guess i can see it from that angle.

this is an insanely big if but IF this is AEW buying out TNA to run as a developmental brand it's actually pretty genius, you already have a small fanbase in place and a middling mens roster and an incredible womens roster, almost everyone on the AEW roster has some kind of history with TNA and they can use that to run storylines, they can acknowledge peoples TNA title reigns and more importantly IMPACT would not feel like a B show, it would be a separate thing.

The more I think about it the more I like it. Kenny talks a huge game, the best bout machine is back. And then cheats and runs away to Impact because he burned every single bridge at his own company in exchange for holding the title. It's really good.

Yeah it rules. I felt like they were going to do some kind of juke, because Kenny just repeatedly going "I'm the best now" and winning the belt clean would be a weird story to tell, but I also thought it was a natural time for a title change so I wasn't sure how they were gonna square both boxes. Didn't see this coming!

Kenny Omega is your new champion.
That's good!
It was with help from Don Calis.
That's bad!
He still wailed on Mox with 4 V-Triggers and the whole match was perfectly fine.
That's good!
It's part of an invasion angle and Kenny will appear on TNA this Tuesday.

if I can be serious for a moment: i thought the match was pretty sloppy and possibly bad given the expectations but i thought the mic shot + v trigger spam into mean kenny winning & the locker room all hating him was sick. i don't give a gently caress about impact but aew has the benefit of the doubt where "wait and see" is a viable option instead of a meme. therefore, 5/5 you have my axe

:agreed: for the most part


That backhalf of the match was picking up in a good way, and while the ending angers me it very easily did so in a "gently caress Kenny Omega" kinda way. So, successful.

kinda like jumpstarting a brand split because you want to run two shows with your giant roster and have separate discrete places to run certain storylines

On the one hand I don't like the idea of Mox and Kenny just trading the title. On the other, if Mox doesn't get revenge I'mma be legit mildly peeved online about wrestling booking.

Also, incredible heel turn tbh.

God drat can we give it up to the man Jon Moxley? He carried the top spot in the worst possible conditions and got some great matches and my feud of the year with Kingston. Not bad for his first title run in AEW...CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM BECOMING THE FIRST 2X CHAMP

It's going to be nuts if AEW is able to pull off an invasion angle or team up with another wrestling group while WWE botched the biggest potential invasion of all time in such spectacular fashion many years ago.

I'm just trying to imagine your posting if KENTA had actually shown up

I mean, I never for a second thought Kenta had anything to do with this because I've never thought for a second Kenta vs. Moxley is happening. I have never thought Moxley was working WK15 and I have never thought, when he eventually does get back to NJPW, it's to have a match with Kenta. I think Kenta's dropping the briefcase before then, maybe to ZSJ.

I will say though, for as much as I have no use for him in the ring, I love his twitter game.

I am such a big fan of heels getting out of dodge that as pointless as I think working with TNA is I still loved the ending because of the visuals. (It's also not a bad idea since on AXS TNA can never really capitalize on any cross promotion so AEW will benefit more if they have any ideas for this at all.)

Winning the title

Being booked like the best in the world

Getting the bulldog choke over
