All I'm gonna say is that if they were hell-bent on doing it, then this was really the only moment they could've done it. I just wish they would've had Darby do what he'd done with Andrade and the promo work the week before Dynasty for the last 3-4 months, instead of just a couple of weeks.
But yea, should the title scene pick up with guys like Ospreay, Take, Swerve (again), maybe Andrade, possibly Fletcher etc, maybe Okada over the next 12 months or so, then that moment to give him the title would've passed (again).
Also I'm not expecting a long run (and very much hope that is the case), since with Darby it feels more about just winning it once, not defending it for months on end.
I'm accepting it. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it's done. ...heck, maybe Max just gonna get the title back immediately, who knows what they're planning, the crazy bastards.
