The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[mannyrs13]

just taking wild guesses or fantasy booking some may say. its about 6 weeks until FG but do we go that long for Swerve vs Shelton Benjamin or is that in between and then Lashley at the ppv? Also do we go that long before Ospreay and Fletcher or does Ospreay get a title rematch against Takeshyta? Does Ricochet join up with Ospreay to help feud with DCF or do his own thing?

The International title has people involved with it. The TNT title looks to as well. But what about the continental? I know KOR and Okada were fighting but not sure about KOR as that champ. I think a good idea would be Jay White feuding with Okada and that match being at FG. Give us that BCC vs Elite feud.

Is there going to be the C2 this year? I would think the title will play a part in the tourney.

-Moxley and crew keep talking about a higher power, he was sent to acquire the strap, acting like he don't care to flaunt it etc.
-Building the beef with Darby to World's End match
-At World's End, the odds are too much and he loses as Shane McMahon is revealed as the orchestrator
-Shane and crew wreck shop for months as he unveils he offered to run the company for TK and fix it, but he rejected so now he's here with friends to destroy it
-Moxley as the focal wrestler of the heel faction, will get a long run (ik ik but they already chose him what can ya do) with the strap, and building up dominance of Shane's group
-Keep Danielson off TV this whole time to sell the injury/retirement
-TK makes only a couple of appearances to sell the gravity of the angle, segments to sell the Shane beef
-the chosen one (Darby? Kenny? Ospreay?) keeps fighting through the odds over the months in 2025 to build up the match, continuously getting shyt on, but committing to the war on some blood feud shyt
-Danielson makes return to even the odds at All Out so the chosen one can win the strap back, and restore AEW from the takeover, the champ is now an absolute hero
-Shane's run with the company can be packed up by a stipulation if they lost at All Out he has to fukk off, or simply being disgruntled Mox failing and abandoning ship (Shane would only come in to work this major storyline then dip)



Wait the Young Bucks exist and already running this gimmick and it fizzling out so this wouldn't make sense or hit at all, nevermind.

 

[Metal Face]

Mox/BCC takeover
Cole/MJF
Hurt Syndicate/Swerve

should help revitalize interest in the company if booked well

 

[Metal Face]

Heh

12 years later and The Shield still runs the business

 

[Reality Check]

Mox/BCC takeover
Cole/MJF
Hurt Syndicate/Swerve

should help revitalize interest in the company if booked well

Can add in Omega possibly returning as well but those bolded three words are the most important aspect.

Shane debuting at an event called World’s End has so much symbolism that it just feels like the perfect place for it…

[Fightful Select] Bryan Danielson Update After AEW WrestleDream

Full details over at Fightful Select, but notable quotes below:

> It was indicated to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful that Danielson specifically wanted to lose to Moxley to end that run.

> Although many people wondered if his interviews were in character regarding his health status, we’re told that those were all true, and by the time the Moxley match was unfolding, Danielson even had thought he probably shouldn’t have done a couple of those matches leading up to the WrestleDream PPV.

> Danielson has legitimately been without a talent contract for a number of months, and we’re told that he does not have any additional contracts. He is effectively a free agent without additional obligations. He’s told many in interviews and backstage that he doesn’t envision going back to WWE at this time.

> We’re told that Chris Hero produced the All In main event, and Swerve Strickland was adamant he wanted to tap out to lose to Danielson as opposed to “passing out” or anything else.

 

[Jmare007]

Give Hero more responsabilities, that All In main event was outstanding.

Also do we go that long before Ospreay and Fletcher or does Ospreay get a title rematch against Takeshyta? Does Ricochet join up with Ospreay to help feud with DCF or do his own thing?

My guess is that Ospreay gladly took the responsability of "making" Fletcher so he can be a prominent figure before Grand Slam in Australia so they'll probably have 2 or 3 matches before the year ends. I think White-O's push is leading towards that show as well.

 

[Wolfpac]

Didn't know Hero was a producer for AEW....

 

[Jmare007]

Didn't know Hero was a producer for AEW....

He's been working there for 2 years. He was actually front and center of the Punk/Jungle Boy footage at All In.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Best case scenario: The "Higher Power" thing is somewhat captivating and Darby conquers them fairly quickly to win his first title

Worst case scenario: It's a total flop of a reveal, Too much built around Yuta, Too much American History Mox and they take forever to get a real comeuppance. .

 

[TheAlbionist]

Final shot from Wrestledream was Darby, OC, Garcia and Hook.

Darby's been personally and recently fukked up by Mox, self-explanatory.

OC has Mox history from the International title run

Garcia chose the route of Jericho Appreciating Sports Entertainment rather than join the BCC - seem to remember it was mainly Danielson reaching out and failing to convince him he was a "wrestler".

Hook's father just got put out of action in a parking lot and we don't have a culprit yet.
