[1/31/24] AEW Dynamite/Rampage: Hangman, Swerve in dealer's choice matches; Rankings Return; Purrazzo/Valkyrie; Stars of CMLL come to Rampage

Rather have Hangman winning, because Joe is holding on to the title longer. Rather have that scenario than have Swerve win and beat Joe at Revolution.

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

If the plan is for Joe to win at Revolution then rather have Hangman win next week.

I can’t see them running Swerve vs. Joe as the main event of back to back PPVs and letting Swerve win the rematch.

So that still leaves Swerve in the picture at whatever the PPV after Revolution is to win the title.

 

[Wolfpac]

Should've made Hangman/Swerve III a cage match since Hangman was bytching about the interference.

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

That’s some special level of anger to voluntarily join the cesspool of Twitter for the first time ever in 2024

 

[Hey_zeus]

Swerve getting black man'd here. 1 victory is more than 2. We'll see if he can stay hot until DoN.

I think it's far more likely they feed Hangman and Swerve to Joe for Revolution and DoN, and then by All In you have some mixture of MJF/Wardlow/Cole to try and save the disastrous Devil storyline fallout.

Honestly I’d rather Hangman be Joe first opponent, we know whoever it is doing the job and better him than Swerve

Would rather a 3 way

Would rather a 3 way

Same. You could have Joe pin/submit Hangman, which would leave the door open for Swerve at the next PPV since Swerve didn’t get pinned or submit.

Dark Order the #2 tag contender?

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

What if Hangman and Swerve go to a draw so we can still get the triple threat match at Revolution?

 

[TheSuperkick!]

Dark Order the #2 tag contender?

Who have The Hardyz and Briscoe beat?

 

[Silkk]

Dark Order the #2 tag contender?

They took that shyt down quick

 

[LordDeathwatch]

The rankings gave everything a sense of logic at first and gave each notable match some added weight, both for the live audience and the viewers. Eventually it stopped making sense when you had guys getting leap frogged for title shots and fukked up storylines.

If they keep it consistent, this could be a great launching point for them to build on the rest of the year.
