AxB Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 So the other night, Alex Shelley Spoiler dropped one of his bigger Indie titles. He had been Prestige Wrestling world champion, but he lost it to Alan Angels. Which implies that his next career move, whatever it is, might be something that has him booked on Saturdays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonial Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Wheeler Yuta has been pulled from Friday's Arena Mexico show over medical clearance issues. He will be replaced in the eight-man by Matt Sydal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved if they could have somehow gotten Hero as his replacement. Edited March 25 by odessasteps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at WrestleDream in October and that Seattle crowd refused to boo Swerve. If he comes out as a champion I think the roof might blow off the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman is still active and, as far as we know, still obsessed with ensuring Swerve never becomes world champion. Narratively, he pretty much has to show up and do something at Dynasty if not before. Of course, no reason he can't try to screw Swerve at Dynasty and fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new AEW and your top babyface is Will Ospreay and your top heel is Kazuchika Okada, so if they don't pull the trigger on Swerve now it'll be too late real quick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo joe Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Something I was thinking about. Everyone agrees that AEW has too many fucking belts, but if you don't count NXT and ROH, they actually have the same number of titles as WWE*. They're even grouped the same: 4 men's singles titles 2 women's singles titles 2 tag belts The tag belts are a little different because AEW has a Trios title instead of a Women's tag, but it's still the same number of championships over the same hours of weekly TV. The real problem is that there are 7 ROH titles to NXT's 4 and the ROH titles are all over the main show. That and most of WWE's belts have been around for decades and Tony Khan busts out a new championship every six months. *I'm counting belts defended together (WWE/Universal and the Raw/Smackdown tag belts) as one. I also forgot about the FTW belt but decided not to count it cause it's 'unofficial' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it more, Hangman trying to cost Swerve the match and failing is the way to go. Hanger costing Swerve the title doesn't lead to anything new, while Swerve defending the title against Page makes for a fitting final blow-off to that feud.

tbarrie Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) On a whim I looked at the rankings that went up Wednesday and the most interesting thing to me was Mariah May at number 2 in the women's rankings. A sign that they're planning to pull the trigger on Toni vs Mariah sooner rather than later? The funniest thing was Claudio and Mox at number 3 in tag teams, higher than most of the teams in the tournament. Yet still, to my knowledge, no in-story explanation for why they didn't get a spot in the tournament.
