Let me just put it this way.

I think it's good to go into WrestleDream on the idea that we won't be seeing Danielson wrestling for the better part of a year after this, and then if we do, you can be very happily surprised. Totally your choice though.

You know, Mox/BCC running rampant over AEW and causing Hangman and Swerve to have to come together to save everyone wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

Some thoughts along those lines did cross my mind. Actually, I thought that the EVP situation would lead to Hangman teaming with Kenny Omega, but this situation works just as well, if not better.

Especially if EVP's and their friends just keep pretending that Mox&co didn't just start doing what the Bucks thought they were doing (while they themselves stole the idea from Adam Cole's ill-fated attempt to create a crew to have a coup with).

MXM brought in Rico as their partner for the 6 man.  The show is already a B grade regardless of what happens 🙂

And Billy Gunn is in the match.  There is your long term booking right there

I have a feeling the Internet in general is going to hate that ending and I totally get it. AEW has pretty much always had PPVs go out on a high note, either with a face winning, someone new debuting, something that got the crowd excited or peaked for something. Stunned silence is a different situation altogether. I thought top to bottom it was a good show with a lot of entertaining action but the ending was very different for them and I'm curious to see what the plan is. I feel like this is a pivot from what was planned in July/August, I just don't know if something caused the pivot or it was just TK deciding on a new direction.

I only watched the last 10 minutes as I was at roller derby but man this show sounds like a weekly tv show, not a major event. Seemed like a throwaway event with a giant angle that lasted too long to end the show that will probably go nowhere as AEW seems to fail every angle they set up due to injury or some chaos.

Oh, great, another Mox title reign. This dude has had the title 4 out of the 5 years he’s been in AEW plus an Interim reign.

UGHHHHHH.

 

EDIT: I take it back, it’s worse, he’s had it 4 times + an interim reign all within 2020 and 2022. Jesus christ.

Crazy for a show that had the returns of MJF and Adam Cole*," bangers in Willow/Mariah, Hanger/Switchblade, Hologram/Mortos, and Bucks/Private Party, a really exciting tease for Swerve vs. Shelton down the line that the lasting image of the show is..... that

I've been kind of less invested in AEW recently I think this show sold. The Empire Strikes Back is such an apt descriptor for this.

Aew, motherfucking world, etc.

Really don't like Jon Moxley as AEW World Champion, AGAIN. Should have been Bryan Danielson vs. Darby Allin here with Darby winning and getting the rub ending Bryan Danielson's full time career. Give it to someone who needs it. Mox doesn't.

The split on this is going to be interesting. I watched most of the card, was a decent but not spectacular night. The main event angle, largely, left me cold. I don't know, this is just two times they've done the "Danielson has a young protege and it looks to be building something interesting with him having allies that are heels" that they immediately just... decided not to pull the trigger on. Yuta trying to destroy Mox, Claudio, and PAC was an angle I excited for. So after the deflating ending, Yuta turning and ending the story I was excited for immediately was like a second shot to my excitement.

 

Personally, just have no excitement for another Moxley title reign. Darby should be the only answer on who would take the title off him, but they already seem to be lining him up to challenge for the belt, and he's not losing on his first major defense. In general, just really not loving the faces in the company right now, which really limits how excited I can be for a top heel stable and champ.

So.... Flight of the Valkyries at #1 or #30 in January?

People keep saying that… why would Danielson burn the bridge w AEW when he’s become one of the most beloved figures in wrestling history?

I can't see Bryan Danielson going back to WWE, I think he'll stay in AEW. Although blood and working with other companies you can now do under Triple H unlike the senile POS. Bryan wanted to do both of those.

Also, some of y’all are wrong as fuck; Mox rules ass. Not only did Danielson ask specifically for this, but it’s gonna make Darby Allin look like a bigger deal when he overcomes the monster Mox. I really liked this show, other than one return I could’ve done without.

It's also about OC becoming the man since they dragged Jerry Lynn out there to say "OC, you are becoming the man."  Subtlety, thy name is AEW.

OC/Garcia/Darby/Hook as your kids going off to war?  You could do a lot worse.

Does anyone possibly see an Elite face turn when the Young Bucks realize they can't control Moxley and co. who decide to go after the Elite's gold?

I'm not sure people will cheer the Young Bucks but admittedly I'm biased against them.

who cares if Bryan asked for it, doesn’t mean it was the right call. You 100% wouldn’t be saying that if Bryan wanted to lose to Adam Cole.
