Dolfan in NYC Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Swerve/Hangman tonight for the #1 Contendership at Revolution tonight. Here is what else is on tap: Big announcement usually means yet another new tournament, title, or gimmick match. Please have your bingo cards ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I’m thinking this announcement is a special show in the Boston area to debut Mercedes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Tonight is stacked! And I got the night off for once (only had to pull a 16 hour Saturday to get it but oh well) so I can watch it all live. In my mind, Sting and Darby go over but I could see them getting screwed by the Bucks. I think it just works better for them to be undefeated going in to the ppv. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Big show tonight. You'd think Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland as that's the biggest AEW match but can Hangman Page lose three straight to Swerve? Hope we don't get the stupid X interfere in #1 contenders match makes a triple threat/fatal 4 way. Like to think AEW knows better than that. I want Sting/Darby Allin to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship, that's the feel good moment. Sting a champion again and the oldest AEW champion ever. What scares me is the Young Bucks win them at Revolution 2024 and Sting goes out on a defeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I thought they would save the trios match for the ppv, but either way it should be a banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my dumb booking solution: With Mogul Embassy barred from ringside Keith Lee interferes to cost Swerve the match. Swerve beats Lee at Revolution to finally put that whole feud to bed, Joe beats Hanger and we finally get Swerve/Joe at whatever the next PPV is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 If the announcement is what I think, we need Jeff Hardy vs Darby in a “winner gets the rights to jump off the green monster” match 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please have your bingo cards ready. Watch it be a new belt. Ten man tags! FIVE new BELTS. All matches elimination rules, like New Japan in the '80s. I still think it could be Okada but that's pretty left-field I guess, if everyone is talking about Boston for some reason. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I think the big announcement is a Boston show with Mercedes Mone debuting there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'm just really happy that only one of these matches, to me, is a foregone conclusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Not being funny or hanging on anyone, but where the hell is this Mercedes/Boston rumor coming from?? I must be way outta the loop - I've been thinking all week it's either gonna be a MAX deal or Okada based on the phrasing of "Huge" announcement, which I THINK is the largest possible on the Coach Tony scale ('We'll hear from' -> 'Major' -> 'Blockbuster' -> 'Huge'). Edit: Actually, if that ends up being it, maybe that should be the title of the show: AEW Left Field Edited February 7 by Zakk_Sabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The huge announcement is that Tony’s gonna put his tape collection on the ESPN/Fox/WBD sports stream. Would it be a little too screwy to have a simultaneous pinfall in the title match with something like Sting pinning Billiam and Ricky pinning Darby? Or will they just go to putting the titles on Sting/Darby? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The Boston show was spoiled by a ticket sale announcement. I would like Sting and Darby to win, but not wild about that meaning they put over The Bucks at the PPV and Bucks are champs again. Maybe they can do like Muta/Mutoh and have Sting and Darby beat the Bucks, and then follow with an impromptu singles match where Sting puts over Darby. Should be a night of good matches and, as Technico noted, very few foregone conclusions. As for titles/tournaments, I’m betting next up is women’s tag titles with that being featured on Collision (given that they’ve started running two women’s matches there). They’ve already been selling a Julia Hart-Skye Blue shirt. Also gives Britt something to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hey when does Darby leave to climb Mount Everest? just curious if they do a tournament to make a “tag team vs Darby/partner” matchup to determine new tag champs after Greensboro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanger v Joe sounds like a helluva deal. And way better than a one fall triple threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This card is so stacked that people are missing out on the best part. Claudio and Mascara Dorada are going to be in the ring at the same time and your brain is going to melt out of your ears. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 My feel good moment would be Starks pinning Sting clean since it may be the last time the legend can put over an up and coming talent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing I would want to do if I were AEW is have him get that rub and then turn around and immediately take it to the competition's TV Edit: Thinking further, I guess that the Bucks are actually a pretty good choice in that 'Verne putting the title on himself because everyone else is leaving for JCP/WWF' way, being that they're EVPs.

I just saw this as well - Fenway would've made sense for a 'huge' announcement given that it would be a hypothetical stadium show, but I don't see this Fleet Center (fuck you TD) show being the announcement unless it's somehow made clear it's for Mercedes (e.g. 'The First Dance' and accompanying Darby 'Even if you're the best in the world' promo). Otherwise, it's just kinda... not that big a deal? I mean, they just ran Blood and Guts in that building not too long ago (which drew like 9K people, pretty damn good considering how many floor seats were eliminated by the two ring set up) it's not like they're debuting in the building/area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that he, as much as anyone, is watching this Cody situation closely. I’m also skeptical that the current power structure remains intact @ wwe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definietly be risky, like when WM was at Metlife Stadium. Imagine what that would have looked like with bad weather. If AEW were to ever run Yankee Stadium, I'd be there in a heartbeat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
