AEW Double or Nothing - May 26, 2024

Holy shit R.I.P. UK if that happens

That’s been my assumption from the moment the group formed. Wardlow never fit. He’s also consistently given Cole looks during segments like he doesn’t trust him and Cole recently threatened him.

Wardlow and MJF versus UK was my presumption from the start. We’ll see if that’s the plan still.

Honestly as good as the talent within it are, the group is kind of dead in most people's eyes.

True but if Wardog and Max work together again UK might just get murked out of existence

 

[Smart Marx]

Except UE had ReDragon who are superior to OGK

I don’t disagree with that in principle, but OGK are also awesome.

 

[Smart Marx]

You’ll also disagree with me, but I still think Kyle rejoins his family by the time Wardlow leaves.

 

[Smart Marx]

At least gambit proved my point about why I was so upset last night. Tony is killing UK’s credibility with the AEW audience.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I agree with the first to a degree. I think he’ll definitely chase for it, though.

I strongly disagree with the second. Cole or Jay would be my choices, unless a better heel option comes along. Not anytime soon, mind you.

I don’t know if I want Cole to be the guy that can’t win the big one unless the endgame is he eventually does. He’s money as the champion. Would be a good story for his character, but I also fear his creditability is beginning to wear thin, however. If they can do it effectively, sure.

If this already been said, my bad, I’m replying as soon as I see this.

I think when Cole finally DOES win it, as I am sure he eventually does, he needs to be face. Have it he couldn’t ever get it done by cheating, and not playing by the rules. But then you have him challenge as a face, do it the right way, and he’s able to pull it off because he’s not focused on underhanded schemes to win, but own his own abilities. I think that’s the perfect way to end the “can’t win the big one.” narrative

 

[Smart Marx]

I like Adam Cole enough that I just want him to be champion so I’ll support anyway he gets there, but Cole is an awesome heel champion and there’s already like 4 babyfaces ahead of him in the totem pole. I think he’d be better off sticking as a heel, but again, I just want to see him shine.

Honestly I am pro it and then giving Strong, Kingdom and Cole a chance to either reboot with better booking or do something else

*killed. The damage was done long before losing to Ospreay. No shame in Strong losing to Ospreay who is one of the most over acts in the company

Yeah, I assume also Wardlow and MJF getting together was the point from the beginning, and if that happens, they’ll obviously be a monster force. That’s why we need to start building UK back up now before Wardlow turns.

After that, hopefully like o was saying the loss shouldn’t hurt them too much and we can reboot with something else.

BBG should also still want revenge on UK and Juice is back so there’ll be a proper 4/4 for it. Cole,Roddy,OGK/Jay,Juice,Gunns.

And after that plenty for them to do. Tony just has to care to.

Yeah pretty much what I said lol

No shame if Roddy had something to do afterwards.

It wasn’t killed while Roddy had the second best belt and OGK were ROH tag teams champions. The situation was easily fixable.

Prior to big business Taven also has a banger with Cassidy. And UK were winning trios matches on AEW TV. Then nothing for a month. Tony seemingly just lost interest one day.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah pretty much what I said lol

then we definitely are on the same page.

 

[Smart Marx]

But also shame if he’s the only champion that didn’t get a proper run with it. He defended it against Kyle and then lost it.

 

[Smart Marx]

With MJF, Swerve, Ospreay at the top of the babyfaces, I think Cole is better off being one of the top heels, personally, but if he gets the belt in any fashion, I’ll be happy.
