AEW is gonna have Cage end up like Archer and Lee

[Reality Check]

Problem with all three is they were put in high profile programs right away and unfortunately you can only go backwards if you start at the top. Not to mention the Coronavirus outbreak probably wreaked havoc on any sort of planning they had lined up and for a couple months they were writing on the fly due to the lack of availability of some talent. I do think Archer should have won the TNT title though, Cody killed Archer's momentum.

Traditionally, a monster hoss is supposed to be built up for your top babyface to overcome somewhere along the line. The problem with AEW’s practice with it is that they immediately slot their monsters into programs with their top guys and defeat them almost right out of the gate. Brodie didn’t have to lose to, much less challenge Mox right out of the gate. Have Lee focus more on recruiting and building up the Dark Order before finally challenging Moxley down the line. Archer and Cody should’ve been kept separate for a while and built up before finally going at it. Let Archer run roughshod over the roster first, threatening to kill everybody until Cody finally gives him what he wants.

But they rush programs with seemingly no follow up or future plans for anyone involved minus maybe the core Elite and Jericho and Moxley and it’s a problem.

They need to follow the King Kong Bundy Model.
Bundy first came in squashing jobbers and midcard dudes for a while then he got moved into the Andre the Giant feud and from there he targeted Hulk Hogan which culminated in the cage match at Wrestlemania 2.

Cody should've made a choice either he would be the inaugural TNT champ or he would have a feud with Archer. Doing both was selfish and short-sighted.
Cody could still be in a bloody feud with Archer right now while somebody like Darby or MJF could've won the TNT tourney.

Should have been Darby vs Archer in the finals and build a feud from there with Darby the underdog trying to take down Archer. Cody shouldn't have even been in the finals

That woulda worked too.

Funny how Omega, Mox and Archer look way less impressive when outside of a King of Sports ring

Quality of opponents is lesser

Why you think they gave him the FTW title?

This. For two months they only had access to like 1/4 of the roster and even today they still are missing PAC and a few other stars from outside the US.

I don’t know what went into the decision of Cody both being in the tournament AND winning the title. That’s some HHH stuff

 

[The Solid One]

Have Cody Rhodes face of your company
