AEW TV - 8/24 - 8/26 - Shenanigans Afoot

[Flyin' Brian]

I don’t understand what is going on in this company. 

[Blehschmidt]

Well, is that the end of the CM Punk return then?

[sek69]

Well I certainly wasn't expecting THAT, but I suppose it goes with the general AEW kayfabe of "injured person isn't 100% when they first come back"

[strobogo]

Excellent. Right call, Mox has had the juice since rehab, crowd sees him as more of an AEW guy than Punk, crowd was into Mox more than Punk, shocking finish. Would lol if Punk actually leaves the company.

[Jmare007]

The most baffling thing to me is what the hell is the main event for All Out.

[KawadaSmile]

To be honest Mox winning was the right decision. 

[Jmare007]

I guess Punk couldn't make it to All Out, was rushed by TK so he could drop the strap (so Punk gets pissed off and that's why he almost no shows last week?) and book a big match for Dynamite to pop a rating?

[hammerva]

The "smart" thing in the women's interim title match would be Jamie Hayter winning the title.  But this AEW so Britt is winning this rather easily

Ricky Starks should be main event level.   He has been one of the many victims of AEW having a thing for ex WWE guys in the last year

 

[Jmare007]

I get this match is gonna be crazy and it's getting like 25 minutes but man, I gotta think they are saving something for the ending? Like, I still can't believe we have no main event/world title match for the PPV yet, lol.

[Blehschmidt]

Either this Trios match is going really long, or something is going down at the end of the show.

and absolutely agree on Hayter winning the belt. She can have bangers with Storm, while teasing the break up with Britt.

[Strummer]

Holy shit at the Punk/Mox finish. Honestly I loved it as well. A very MNW feel to this show that anything can happen.

i would guess Punk was not fully ready to come back but they wanted the interim tag of Mox and planted some seeds for the future.

[Jmare007]

Next week gonna be a struggle for me. Enjoying Hager getting destroyed by Dragon but worried constantly for Hager's clumsy ass concussing him.

[strobogo]

I honestly can't believe Ospreay hasn't blown out both knees since adding all the weight

I would assume that the trios final will probably be the main event since presumably Kenny will be in it.

If that's the case, they've done a really bad job selling these trios titles as anything special.

[KawadaSmile]

Main event Kip Sabian. What a trolljob.

[Jmare007]

PAC is unreal. That is all.

[C.S.]

No All Out main event announcement to end the show.

Probably the smart play.

It's in TK's best interests for everyone to spend all week talking about this and dissecting it from every angle.

[Coffey]

The pre-Dynamite backstage talent meeting & then Thunder Rosa being "injured" & dropping her title, while CM Punk gets squashed in his title match has me thinking that some of the people that have allegedly been problems lately were maybe made an example of.

Or I'm just getting worked but that's not nearly as fun.

[sek69]

Fightful reported that it was Moxley who pushed for the match to be on Dynamite and Punk eventually went along with that. I suppose the question is if that was the finish Moxley came up with or was TK sending a message like @Coffey suggested?

Honestly the Rosa deal seems way more like "problem child gets put in time out" to me, her issues were so out in the open DMD was on TV carrying a goddamn sandbag. 

[KawadaSmile]

ain't no fucking way

[Jmare007]

Hey man, that warrants an Eddie world title run ASAP if you ask me.

I could be completely wrong here, but I feel they've decided to use some real backstage issues to craft a worked shoot angle. I'm half expecting the PPV will feature the debut of a new stable made up of the alleged malcontents: MJF, Punk, and Rosa. Maybe throw in Kingston.

Last week on Dark Elevation, there was a Thunder/Toni/Shida vs. Emi/Nyla/Shafir match that went 2 minutes and Thunder never tagged in to the match. IF she is injured, I wonder if she was hurt before then.

now see, if it turns out she's not really hurt then I HAVE to know if she pouted and didnt tag in or did her partners just said "fuck you" and refuse to
