Maybe not quite this soon, but I always thought his "home" was WWE regardless of the goofy BTE sketches and daddy issues w/ Triple.

John from Cincinnati Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 There’s a spectrum of probability of working with WWE in the future that ranges from like Mark Henry and Christian on one end to the Bucks and CM Punk on the other. Cody was never on the Punk end of the spectrum, no matter how he presented himself. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Moxley isn't on the CM Punk end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rematch on Raw. Revival vs. DIY, 2 out of 3 falls (Best tag match of the decade) Sami vs. Neville (Perfect long-term storytelling with an awesome Empire Strikes Back ending with KO showing his true colors) Sasha vs. Bayley I and II (Flawlessly executed and historically important) Rhodes Brothers vs. The Shield (Perfect tag match and feud) Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha in whatever the gimmick match was where Sasha had the Banks Statement in the crowd and Charlotte did some insane flip off the announcer’s perch Santino/Emma vs. Fandango/Summer Rae (Best comedy match ever) I think I'll throw my hat in the ring as well Punk vs Cena - Money in the Bank 2011 Cena vs Lesnar - Extreme Rules 2012 Punk vs Lesnar - Summerslam 2013 Bryan vs Cena - Summerslam 2013 Shield vs Wyatts - Elimination Chamber 2014 Zayn vs Neville - NXT Takeover: R-Evolution Sasha vs Bayley - NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Revival vs DIY - NXT Takeover: Toronto Andrade vs Gargano - NXT Takeover: Philadelphia Bryan vs Lesnar - Survivor Series 2018 Bryan vs Kingston - Wrestlemania 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Jack Evans saying his deal isn't going to be renewed and ends April 30th. Said that after his face injury and 4 month covid layoff that he struggled and didn't add value, understood that they have a huge roster so this is the result. Refused to comment on Angelico's contract and said right now he doesn't have plans. Sad, as Jack is very talented and I'm not sure he ever really showed it whether that was on him or AEW or, likelier, both. I hope he can land a spot to keep going and find himself again. Loved him in PWG and Lucha Underground. Some of his tag work in AAA was really fun too. Obviously his big run in ROH is the stuff of legend and I will forever love his stuff from there and WSX.

Dog Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Honestly, I think Punk would go back before Moxley. If Punk thought he only had two years left and they offered him $10 million? Moxley, on the other hand, didn't even look at his final contract offer. Huge money is about the only thing WWE can offer people these days, and that's not a factor for him.

Craig H Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Moxley would never, ever go back to WWE unless there were major changes there. He'd be more likely to go to Japan or try to start his own Bloodsport-ish indy. After reading his book, I get the sense his happy enough in AEW, but that's probably the last big national promotion he exclusively works for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 So if the big announcement is AEW x NJPW at the United Centre on Sunday June 26th, who here would go? I'm perusing flights, personally lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 It will be fun to fantasy book the super show, but I’m not sure NJPW has the roster to really stack this with desirable matches. Once you get past Okada/Tanahashi/Naito/Ishii/Suzuki/White…..who else do I care about? I dunno. And their tag division absolutely sucks. Miro vs Ishii though please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Add a couple more big names to that list and you're more than on your way to a full card. Based on it being teased, should we feel safe in the general assumption that the main event is Okada vs Punk?

Miro vs Ishii though please That's six guys deep already, though. We've all been saying one of AEW's weak points is cramming too many matches onto a long card. Six lengthy matches + some pomp and circumstance does pretty well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I really want a nice, long main event tag of Tanahashi/Okada vs Punk/Joe, give it to me TK! What are the chances that Stardom is involved?

NoFistsJustFlips Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Just for shits and giggles... Bryan vs Ibushi MJF vs Naito Punk vs Okada Hangman vs Ospreay Moxley vs Tanahashi Lee Moriarty vs ZSJ Wardlow vs Jeff Cobb Darby vs Takahashi OC & Danhausen vs Yano & Ishii FTR vs Young Bucks vs GOD vs Ropongi 3K Jericho Appreciation Society vs Bullet Club 10 Man Tag ETA: There should be some kind of women's component to this aswell but I know nothing about Stardom so couldn't even venture to guess what women's matches should be on the card. And realistically this is way too much for a single night. But a two night event is probably pushing it.

Sublime Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Give me Punk/Okada, BCC/Tekkers&Suzuki, Naito, Shingo & Hiromu/Cole & ReDragon, Miro/Iishi, and make sure Cobb & O-Khan get a match and I’m happy. This would be a great show for Omega to return at especially of Ibushi is back too. (I only want LIJ/UE so Shingo can murder Cole and claim BayBay as his own) Edited April 20, 2022 by Sublime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the chances that Stardom is involved? I need Utami Hayashishita vs Toni Storm like, yesterday. Seems unlikely unless Bushiroad forces it. Their only Stardom connection was Riho working there in 2020 and that didn't go terribly well. They have a much better relationship with TJPW (and Hikaru Shida is a bridge to Ice Ribbon, since Shida went to Ice Ribbon on 3/20 and will be back again on 5/4). Also, when AEW did their joshi tournament in 2021, they worked with pretty much everyone except Stardom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
