If Mercedes can bypass rankings, Christian can as well.
If HOB weren't always in trios, feel like Black or even Brody could have been a good first option. Although seems like Black could be facing Edge.
Funniest part is people are saying that was the planned spot
Eh, someone here had a good argument that the tbs and tnt title have more of an open challenge type vibe. With the world champ it really should be someone with a good claim...but, what is the status of swerves father? 🤔
I'm actually at a loss on who could face swerve.
Danielson - storyline out just lost
Claudio - just lost to Ospreay clean
Ospreay - going for the international
Pac - just lost
OC - in a program
Okada - has a belt
Kenny - out
Mox - going to Japan
Take - in a program
Hobbs - just lost
Switchblade - trios champ maybe?
Eddie gonna lose at NJPW strong ppv
Cope - TNT title
Adam Cole - I assume not cleared but can walk
Black - should be in a feud with cope
Jericho - in an angle
Only people who make sense to me:
Brody kingb- I think is feuding for the ROH title
Ricky starks - would have to heat him up
Hanger - feels too soon for this
Miro - lol
Rush - would have to heat him up

I have no idea what he's doing currently and I find him boring as shit, but Wardlow?
If Adam Cole is ready to go I guess you could put him in there and then MJF costs him the match at Double or Nothing.
I am once again asking for a repeat of All Out 2021
"It's to show that they both had the same thought because they are equals."
Sure, Jan.
Christian Cage/Nick Wayne program would work and keep Swerve in a good feud with a backstory already baked in (Nick Wayne was attacked by Swerve, Christian blames Swerve for losing to Darby/Sting) for a couple months. This leads right into Hangman as he piggybacks off showing how disgusting Swerve is as a person and he won't allow him to be the face of AEW.
something to also consider is how injuries might have screwed up whatever was planned for DON. One half of FTR is concussed and typically in AEW that means a month minimum away - I'd guessed FTR/Garcia vs Bucks/Perry was the original plan. With Dax out, who knows what that does - who fills that gap? How do they pivot?
Looking at the roster page the only guys who aren't in a story and would be acceptable first opponents for Swerve are Hangman and Christian.
Jericho shouldn't be anywhere near the world title and will likely be in a rematch with HOOK anyway. PAC and Claudio are coming off losses, RUSH would need more than a months worth of heating up, as would Starks. Cole is still injured and was walking very gingerly still so he's a ways off. Sammy is not remotely worthy of a main event and is probably on his way back to the vortex.
How far off is Darby from returning I wonder?

Black Machismo loosely feuds with recently-misted-newly-turned-heel Adam Copeland in the intermin period before Evil Copeland inevitably teams up again with Christian Cage.
Does that make sense? No. Let me cook anyway.

I don't think having your first black champion feuding with a guy who calls himself the 'vanilla gorilla' is the wisest choice.
Did cage ever comment on the old clip of him using the nword?
I doubt it, but we're basically waiting on every single person that was ever in Reseda to comment on that.
Great wrestling in there, but that building was a free-for-all of the edgiest shit you've ever heard.

So what you're saying is we don't need to worry about overtime delaying the start of Collision?
Exciting times! Hope we get at least one or two surprise bangers. Or a Christian Cage appearance. 😌
Is Collision delayed because of basketball? Fite has another 20 minutes left before starting.
Yup game still has about 6 minutes left. So 20-30 minute delay I imagine. Don't think it'll be that long as it's a blowout and they won't be calling a lot of timeouts late and fouling a lot.

He might have the coolest facepaint in wrasslin right now, tbh.
Even when he goes with the blue instead, it rocks from every angle.
Dustin Rhodes is so rad
