I’d totally be on board with a Billy GOAT reign

Ospreay I hope is the one to finally beat Moxley. Be pretty cool if that happened. But I still wanna Okada v Omega first though.

I still think Mox will be holding it for a while anyway.
Yeah he's Tony's guy. He's apparently the highest paid in AEW 6M a year, I don't know but if Okada is on 4.5m . Maybe a possibility....

Okada omega will be at All In.
Damn that's gonna be cooking . Just wonder how much Kenny will change his style but Okada is a pretty safe worker but if we get a qtr of what we got in NJPW , we're in for a treat.

Is it a pivot if Darby was never the plan? They knew Darby was doing Everest for a year+
The plan was Y'all In.


I think you have to change something with the Mox story cause a lot of people are not enjoying it. I would have said speed up to Darby winning before he did Everest but that's out so maybe put the title on Ospreay/Swerve/Omega/Page or find a way to get people to enjoy the death riders stuff again

And suddenly I feel reinforced in the feeling that OC shoulda been the one to take it from Mox, IF they're hell bent on making a "pillar" (aka AEW-grown talent) the one getting the boost from it.

Hangman winning it, with Christian stealing it afterwards would be a good call, with their "affiliation" in mind... but that would mean AEW have to remember it happened too :lol

...but tbh, I don't think it's very productive to really grind one's own gears about who coulda/shoulda take it off Mox. Especially since the story feels weirdly conflicted with itself. IMO and this sounds mad to say it, but I can't shake the feeling the story is still in an early phase... even though it's been already 4 months.

According to.who? I've never seen any report that said Darby was winning at all in, ever.

And "not a lot of ppl enjoying it" is a bunch of whiney, crying and impatient terminally online babies.

You're not supposed to like heels holding title hostages. Shocking I know, but aew ain't changing plans when their ppv just did killer numbers, their ratings r the same despite bring on max, abs tge smaller venues all selling out.

Online whiners are not dictating booking, that's nonsense

And honestly ppl have to stop suggesting killing an angle every time a story beat isn't what you liked. The impatience is ridiculous. Mother fuckers can glaze 3 years of repeat booking w bloodline but cant handle 3 months of a heel faction? Get the fuck outta here. U don't change plans when business I doing fine, you finish the story you had planned. I'm so sick of entitled marks trying to dictate booking to their fa task booking if the month. Next month they'll be obsessed with a new darling to push. Marks shouldn't be booking shit.

I’ve pitched this before and I’ll pitch it again. I think you wait it out, have Mox keep the belt until Eddie Kingston returns.

Have Eddie return at AEW’s lowest point and wreck shop. Eddie fits not only the prompt that the Death Riders have been saying this entire time about guys who have been there since the beginning but have failed to get to the top, not only does he have a deep connection to not only Mox but also with Claudio & to a lesser extent but still there PAC. He also is one of the only ones I would trust to fully unite the AEW roster against a common enemy and one of the last things he did in AEW before the injury? He finally got the respect of Bryan Danielson. One way to pay that back. The pop would be nuclear.

Ibou, SRS. It's pretty well known it is plan and if I looked I could probs find others reporting this plus it's kind of obvious on TV Darby is likely who is ending it even without reports. Also people are allowed to not enjoy a story without being whiny babies. I'm in plenty of discords where people love everything on AEW TV except Jericho and this story. This just feels like if you don't like everything AEW you are a whiny baby
