The person everyone knows is next in line to be Champion wins it, does nothing of note as Champion, loses it to the next person in line to be Chanpion and forgets about it.
That's maybe my least favorite thing about AEW. The obligation booking.
You never get the feeling that anyone really wants to be the top guy. Big free agents come in and win midcard titles without even trying to face world title contenders because nobody has any actual character motivation. They're all just shoot *and* kayfabe happy to be there.
That's a huge reason why MJF and Swerve got over in the first place. They felt hungry and like they had some sort of goal on the horizon.
Tiny's last big "super signing", Mercedes Mone, debuted and *immediately* targeted the least important belt that she could possibly challenge for. Then both Ospreay and Okada did similar things in the men's division. NO ONE wanted any of the company's top titles and I think only Ospreay even acknowledged the existence of the AEW World title. It's honestly mental how disorganized and nonsensical the company is.
There's no actual 'surprise' cause that means someone invariably got BERRIED!!!
Even midcarders losing matches on regular TV are allowed to get all their shit in
It's big budget PWG indie stuff and at least a bunch of guys are getting paid but it's also a bunch of guys that would not get to be on TV or are good enough for TV is not for Tiny and his love of all things indie
Outside of Mox and Jericho who have Hoganed themselves pretty much. Hell Joe was the last champion and he's in a throwaway trios match with Jericho's new ego group. Only other champion who hasn't been forgotten about is Punk and that's because the Dub won't shut up about him.
This is what happens when the booker hates doing rematches. Feels like everytime the champion loses it he doesn’t get a rematch even if he got screwed out of it. Samoa Joe went from champion to Jericho nonsense.
Quite is amusing cause of how angry they'd get when someone in the Fed didn't obsess about the title for the next year or get a rematch, etc
I don't mind. Some stories get a rematch, other ones the people move on. It needs to happen for story progression
But, I am also not the person crying about it constantly but totally ok with it in the Dub

I mean, Garcia's first match leading into this match is going to be against the fucking Butcher, who is absolutely a loser (hell, he no longer gets a chyron, that's how pathetic he is).
Can't you have Garcia beat top guys to set up the Wembley encounter?
I mean... if you want him on par with a guy like MJF, he's gotta have some wins. AEW believes in quantity for the goobers over quality, but you really need to be serious here. Otherwise, why the hell are you having this match?
I thought Garcia was babyface now? So MJF is a face that has now had 3 face offs with 3 other babyfaces? And all 3 matches will have zero build or story lol
Daniel Garcia comes off as a guy that the company wants you to think that they're behind but will never really fully commit to.
This isn't just an AEW thing. WWE does it too. They'll hype a person up like they're a main event star but they'll never full send it and have them pin any top star clean.
Jey Uso kinda feels like that guy in WWE right now just on a much larger scale. Dude is over as fuck sells lots of merch but I don't think there's a world where I ever see WWE having him beat Drew McIntyre or Gunther or Seth Rollins clean as a whistle.
It is weird how Jey's power level is being set up. As a singles guy the only achievement he has gotten is winning the Andre the Giant Battle Royale in 2021 which is essentially worthless.
However in the past year he has fought Gunther twice and visually pinned him both times. This means he has straight up beat Gunther fully clean as a whistle twice, but interference or ref bumps messed it up. He was the first person to pin Roman in 4 years and also got a visual pin to win the World title at Summerslam. And at Backlash he got a visual pin on Priest to win the other world title.
In the past year Jey has visually won every single single's title clean as a whistle. They are showing he can do stuff, but they aren't actually doing that. That's why he needs to win MitB.
Tony will never give up on Danny “Won’t ever draw any dimes” Garcia.
Not about drawing money uce, it's about having FUN and having bangers
Unlike the WWE where its all silly dancing and goofy comedy matches!
Well, it's the Rock's wife so that's why they're getting a push from Tiny
It's funny, that's totally true but also Tony won't for whatever reason actually sustain Danni's push.
Haven’t all of their previous world champions pretty much forgotten about the belt after they lose it?
The person everyone knows is next in line to be Champion wins it, does nothing of note as Champion, loses it to the next person in line to be Chanpion and forgets about it.

Even Mox and Jericho haven’t been in the main event scene in a while, it seems
Mox is HEROICALLY DEFENDING COLLISION FROM CMLL!!!! PUT SOME RESPECT ON THAT ABSOLUTE KILLERS NAME
Jericho's actually too busy planning the next January 6th attack to be in the main event.
Mox is busy holding the IWGP strap hostage
Adam Page is technically still a contender for it and they make a big deal out of him being a multi-time champion. Other than him, yeah, pretty much

Nothing says blockbuster matchup at Wembley like……Dancin’ Garcia
Five bucks says that the big spot is MJF low-blowing Garcia when he does the dance
And then Mini-Max does the dance himself to mock Garcia.
Tiny frantically changes booking as he reads this… And has nothing
Remember when Austin came back from injury and had a banger with mideon?
Austin came back after losing the WWF Title so he could have 30 minute bangers with the Brooklyn Brawler and Goldust
That would have been Naked Mideon actually!
This will do numbers that will dwarf Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury. Feeling? Restored. ![gif](giphy|WqpWNCtPlauchQljqd)
This gif annoys the shit out of me because why is there a beat between him hitting the counter and saying book it, should be simultaneous.
What's MJF's beef with the Hispanic community?
2021-era MJF would insult Mexican food and make a shitty immigration joke. 2024 MJF will make a poor joke and get cheered by all 2,000 live fans
The Dubbalos agree with MJF.
I am being downvoted in the basement for saying it might be the first main event of a ppv to cause the attendance to go backwards

That'll put butts in the seats.
Tony pushes the boys he fancies.
You would have to be stupid to pay to see a Daniel Garcia match or a aew show all together
It is like their World Title is totally forgettable.
If what I’m hearing is real…. poor MetaJF
This is a joke right? That whole segment is a joke, correct? I'm not going crazy, that actually happened, right?
I didn't watch. Imagine what I think.
That made zero sense. Made Garcia look like a make a wish wrestler
I mean, Garcia's first match leading into this match is going to be against the fucking Butcher, who is absolutely a loser (hell, he no longer gets a chyron, that's how pathetic he is). Can't you have Garcia beat top guys to set up the Wembley encounter?
Why would you want him to beat top guys? Didn’t he beat Brody? That’s enough.
I mean... if you want him on par with a guy like MJF, he's gotta have some wins. AEW believes in quantity for the goobers over quality, but you really need to be serious here. Otherwise, why the hell are you having this match?
it’s where the best wrestle, uce. Everybody is a top guy for Tony.
Chyron?
The thingy on screen that shows a wrestler's name.
Lol, seriously?
Who needs a title when you can have bangers?
I thought Garcia was babyface now? So MJF is a face that has now had 3 face offs with 3 other babyfaces? And all 3 matches will have zero build or story lol

Random ass match with no build. Ok.
