So with wins And losses being important, who are the assumed front runners for the Women's Championship? Dr. Brit Baker had the only singles win and the team of Hikaru Shida, Riho, and Ryu Mizunami won their 6-person tag. For Fighter Fest you could argue either Nyla Rose or Yuka Sakazaki could avenge their DoN loss by winning the 3-way against Riho. Allie vs Brandi Rhodes will be both of their first AEW matches, maybe the winner of that gets to be a contender? It'll be interesting to see how they build to the title match. I'd find it weak if let's say someone like Nyla loses both of her matches and still gets a title shot, after hyping up importance of wins.

This will be AEW's version of the Saudi deal.

dropkiiiiiick

dropkick

I was big on Jinder when he teamed with Alicia Fox in the MMC. Perfect heels to put over R-Truth and Carmella.

Becky, maybe? I could see her continuing to be over despite booking issues. I'm struggling to think of another outside of who you mentioned.

The other match is that CEO guy vs Nakazawa.

WARDLOW

Knowing how wrestling is now a days they'll probably have kickouts to the fingerpoke of doom. A finisher just isn't a finisher anymore.

Best Friends rule

If we're doing Gang Warz I want to be on the Green Team. If they're full then I'll settle with Purple. Wrestling is neat.

It's tough following this emotional roller coaster. Maybe Ibushi is pushing away because it's the only way he can make it through this Five years later, Kota is a famous IWPG Champion and is super cool with to another man, Jay White, with whom they have a daughter. One night, the buds stumble upon a video game bar. Noticing the "Omega" logo he had once seen regular, Kota realizes Kenny has opened his club. When Kenny Omega notices Kota Ibushi in the crowd, he plays their friendship theme on the Street Fighter 2, and a dream sequence unfolds in which the two imagine what might have been had both their relationship and their careers thrived together in AEW. Ibushi shares a poignant smile with Kenny, then leaves with Jay White.

super cute. I'm hoping I'm not the 20th person to post this.

This is all so Pro Wrestling Tees can sell AEW Playing Cards.

The same way the Knicks got Ewing. They froze the card they want them to grab. Works every time.

I forgot about Marty Scurll. What's his contract situation and could be be a surprise on the show?

Brandon Cutler will singlehandedly vanquish 20 other men and then squash Omega.

Is Psycho Clown or Dr Wagner Jr free? Or in America with visas?

Brandon Cutler has joined Naomi in the Made Me Cry so I'll Always Like Them Club.

So if they're last minute replacing PAC and not doing an injury angle, who would be a suitable replacement that would be looked at as a major improvement to the show?

I look at it as Aries being Impact

My thoughts: meh. If PAC didn't want to lose cleanly as DG champ and AEW doesn't want that to screw with future bookings than I guess push the van down the road and you have a potential super villain in a year or so. I'd rather they call it off than awkwardly have him win a few matches and either dip out or always have fluke finishes. I'm going to hold harsh judgement until the event to see how they either replace him or come up with a reason for me to mark out. I get both sides. If they agreed on an angle and it fell through or if there wasn't established details, I could see one side or the other looking bad. But I don't see clarity on that coming out for a bit now.

They could get Low Ki to job to Page.
