Aren't the Lucha Bros booked already somewhere on the day of the finals or something though.

I could see PP with the upset. Them going through Young Bucks and Lucha Bros to get there would be something
Yep. And then you get Santana and Ortiz beating the Bucks at Full Gear and we follow up the next PPV with Private Party defending against Santana and Ortiz. Oh baby.
I've wondered if some of the pushback for that match might have been assuaged if TNT viewers got to see the irritation on behalf of the Lucha Bros that culminated with them leaving the ring and getting halfway to the back before turning around to do that. Felt like some hubris when they went back in to smack their opponents around and the smaller Jurassic Express guys put up a reasonable fight.
It's pretty awesome to see Pentagon and Jericho constantly go out of their way every match to sell for Audrey.
So soon, though? PP would only have time for one or two defenses before losing the titles if they did on TV defenses.
One of the drawbacks of only doing a show a week with no house shows.
Isn't there a three month span? I'd assume they get 3 or 4 defenses in by that time
I understand that but in a normal match if a wrestler doesn't break a hold when their opponent is in the ropes they risk getting disqualified. That's not the case here though both the ref and Jericho treated it like it was. Jericho would not have been able to win the match with Darby in the ropes but he also didn't have to break the hold. Again, this isn't an AEW specific issue as WWE does this all the time but it's something that bothers me in wrestling.
Yeah I mentioned this when it happened too. It's kind of bad psychology when you think about it. But I know a lot of people just brush it off.
Spears vs Cody is officially over?
So a literal blood feud ends with an underwhelming match where the face wins clean, after calling the heel a good hand at best, and then the heel is kicked down to the mid card? 00s HHH would be proud of Cody.
I see so much of 00s HHH in Cody and tbh I love it
Spears vs MJF is a fued I want.
AAA is on Twitch tonight with their yearly Heroes Inmortales show, featuring Kenny Omega vs. Fenix for the AAA world heavyweight title.
The show starts at 9 pm Eastern Time and will air on Spanish and English on Twitch, as usual. It is free for live viewing and part of the $5/month subscription for VOD. Matches from the show will air on TV and should end up on AAA's YouTube channel before the end of the year.

yeah, Cody had no reason to win that match, beats him, spears becomes irrelevant midcarder and Cody goes for a title shot, it's the Triple H era and Brandy actually is worse than Stephanie
Brandi worse than Steph? LOL. Come on, man.
So, Moxley and PAC next week. Do we see our first double countout? How would you guys book it?

Brandi's barely even been on TV. That's another one of those things where people are projecting their fears moreso than what is actually happening.
I like how when they signed Spears, the popular opinion was that he had absolutely nothing to offer and was only hired because he's Cody's friend. Now there's so many people wringing their hands that he's just a mid-carder. IMO, he's exactly in the role that he should be.
If Moxley/Pac has a clear winner, it should be Moxley. It may be better to save Pac's first singles loss for a bigger moment, though. I could see them doing a time limit draw to lay the seeds for a bigger scale rematch down the line.

PAC and Moxley beat the living shit out of each other then PAC gets the win because he is distracted by Mox.
That said man Moxley and Pac was the tag team I never knew I needed tbh. The double suplex and the brief glimpses of working together was excellent and I would have loved those to have a Tag run at some point.
Bandido would be perfect. He better not re-sign with RoH. The only issue I could see is he wanting to do more NJPW and thus staying with RoH. Then, you have Rampage Brown. He fits what AEW needs so much. Just one PoC rampaging over AEW. I would be really happy with both getting a chance.
LB double (or even triple) book themselves quite often. So this could be a play to try to make the finals unpredictable.
They have some working relations with some indies. They need to use them to give them more experience, same with their relation with AAA. Is the perfect way to have them grown in different styles, just not the house one.
Edit: even push for that DDT relation (and maybe Stardom?) to send some talent there.
Does NJPW's parent company owning Stardom now fuck up AEW's chance to work with Stardom in the near future? I don't know how wrestling politics work so I have no idea if that's what's going to happen or not.
Also I hope AEW and NWA form some kind of partnership. I'd love for them to cross promote each other's shows. Imagine them plugging Powerrr during AEW Dark or something. Hell if the NWA champion walked out on Dynamite to cut a promo talking about how he's the REAL world's champion as a cool way to announce that partnership I'd lose my shit and you just know Jim Ross and Tony Schiavonne would be selling the fuck out of that on commentary.
I'm not saying have them dominate each other's shows just a quick little plug on either show and uhh have some of the more green AEW wrestlers work on an underneath match in Powerrr to get more experience working with different wrestlers in a different style once in a while.
Stardom is now owned by NJPW, and we know what New Japan thinks about AEW.
They had a good feud going that could've set Spears up as a top line guy, with an awesome manager. And they blitzed through it in one match with Cody winning with ease.
Like maybe Spears wouldn't succeed in the role, but they cut his legs off at the pass and now he's just a guy.
Is Bushiroad who owns Stardom, not NJPW. As fas as we know, NJPW and Stardom are separate business with different management. The ex-owner of Stardom, Rossy, is now the CEO of the company. So if he wants to keep the partnership it could probably happen.
Got Austin vibes when he gave the double middle fingers and ddt on Wednesday night. Definitely see that in him. He plays the unpredictable badass perfectly.
Remember that AEW has time limits, they could very easily just do a time limit draw. No fucked finish, no lame double count out needed.
Mox has impressed the hell out of me since he left WWE, makes you wonder how many guys would thrive away from that shit company.
Probably an average number. Some people are stunted by the WWE and others are propped up by it.
Its kind of sad how often the shit rises to the top in a company that has a stranglehold on the world's supply of some of the most amazing talent.
Reading the previous page and you meanies have made me imagine Kenny winning the belt only to hear a coin drop.
Daaaaaamn iiiiit.

I unironically, no joke think that this would be the GREATEST moment in wrestling history.
Fuck off with your Stone Cold/The Rock bullshit, this is what the history books will headline.
It's great to be excited for weekly wrestling again. AEW has been great thus far. Good business and a little luck, I hope they are able to grow their base enough to confidently move to Monday nights in the future a la Monday Night Nitro.
Loving seeing the Lucha Bros again. Lucha Underground feels so long ago. It would be nice to see another LU favorite, Mil Muertes, show up too. Loved his masked powerhouse look and style.

I'm pretty sure the unprotected chairshot outrage made them get cold feet with the entire angle.
