I don’t think it’s stale, but I’m not really enjoying it that much either, if that makes sense. I think they can definitely get it on the right track so it’s not completely lost or anything like that.
That's fair. It does feel like we need a some development both on the next challenger, moxs short term goals and also what is Christians next play. I like the Cope direction n I think he's losing so how does Christian fit in and what are the consequences of cope losing. We already seeing that cope is continuing his decent into heel territory with his penchant for penile assault both before his injury n now. Is he gonna join mox after losing ? Stay face?

I’ve seen it in a few discords I’m in the complaints about The Death Riders angle but I seem to be in the minority there that has been enjoying it for the most part.

As for who I’d like to see conquer them, Eddie Kingston would be my first choice given his history with half of the group. It all depends on how long it’ll take for him to come back though, I did see something recently about him working with someone on his road to recovery.

Ospreay is another one I would like to see in that spot. He’s the biggest babyface of the company and the most over at the moment. It seems like he’s still caught up in the Don Callis story for now though.

I think for now they’ll just stick with Mox until the time is right for someone to dethrone him.

Mox has a wife n kid you don't see him taking two months off to do wtv the fuck mox does on his off time. Taxidermy?
Hell supposedly he tried to take off for a couple months and he came back to save the Championship after Brawl Out (or In, I can't remember which is was anymore).

Hell the only time I recall him taking off was for Rehab


As for the storyline and Darby Allin. I have not been overly fond of the story from what I've seen. And if Darby chose climbing Everest over a title win at the biggest US show in company history is a great way to show your bosses you don't care. We don't know the details (was he gonna win the title there, was Everest planned for that time before these supposed plans came to fruition?). If I recall he was supposed to do Everest last year but was injured and had to postpone, no?

If you ask me the Death Riders storyline calls for not a storyline Pillar taking the title from Moxley, but someone vital to AEWs very existence. That being Kenny Omega (I could be talked into MJF being that guy). These other so-called saviors all feel like stepping stones for Moxley. However if they're doing Omega/Okada at Y'all In then either that ain't happening or they'd have to do that right quick after Kenny finishes with Callis Family and Will Ospreay.

Not sure why people are saying this cause that's not what happened or even reported. It has been reported he will be back before then. Also Darby probs didn't spring this on them, they would have known this already and it would be planned in. People do take off work from their jobs sometimes, which is actually healthy

I'm thinking that's why he's taking time off earlier this year

Seems reckless when you’re a contracted entertainer when there’s a real chance he doesn’t make it off the mountain. Shit is dangerous.
