The show sold out before Punk was announced for AEW so I won't go as far as saying the crowd is there to see him specifically although he will be far and away the most over wrestler there.

I get the logic of Punk ending the show but for me the prestige of the title is most important and it should always close unless there's something like Rock/Hogan that's literally impossible to follow. I would have it as the high energy opener then follow it with a Bucks match to keep the momentum, then slow it down with a methodical Miro match, then ramp the energy back up to the title match to close. You also have to wonder if there's another suprise like Cole or Danielson ending the show after the title match.

There’s no way that the Bucks would want to follow this match. They’d probably nip that in the bud fast. What I’d do is you’d put on the Christian/Omega match and in the next match you’d put on something like Britt and Statlander or PAC and Andrade (or even Starks/Cage if that gets announced), then the close the show with Punk and Darby.

I don't want to go back and forth too long on this as its entirely subjective and I definitely won't have an issue if they do in fact go Darby/Punk in the main event.

I just think part of the prestige and challenge of being world champion is to follow and try to top whatever happens on the show. This crowd is going to be insane, diehard fans from all over the country flying in for AEWs first major PPV post pandemic and I dont think they'll be deflated after the Punk match. I would think it'd add even more energy to the show and a Bucks match would keep that going. Punk is going to have much bigger non-title matches over the next year and I would keep them in the under card unless there is a major stipulation involved

The usual line of thinking from what I can recall is that they open with the Bucks match and since those are usually 20 minute or so nonstop spot fests, they do the Casino Battle Royal’s afterwards to let the crowd catch their breath and go from there. I figure that if they keep that method, there will of course be some more matches announced in the next couple of weeks and they’ll just go from there and close with Punk.

LOL at Punk basically just telling everyone Bryan Danielson is coming

Probably the most skippable show they’ve had in a while. Almost like a televised version of Dark. Still enjoying Dan Lambert’s promo’s.

Elite promo


definitely should’ve closed the show with the tag match imo

 

[UVA_Guy81]

I thought the Kenny/Christian promo was okay but not worth going out of your way to watch.

They really need to stop putting Cody's crew on TV so much. QT Marshall/Nightmare Family/Factory aren't over even close to what they apparently think they are. They don't need segments every week, much less multiple ones in the same show, especially given how stacked AEW's roster has become.

Agree. Leave them on the Dark shows so they can gain ring time. I didn't have much desire to see Billy Gunn in the early 2000's, much less in 2021. That QT/Paul Wight match is obviously going to be one of those matches that they put in between big matches since I'd be shocked if it went more than 5 minutes. Comoroto has a good look but again, needs to have these weekly Dark matches so he can get better and leave the main shows to the more experienced talent.
But there are also others that I wish didn't seem like they were seen all the time as well (Jericho and the Elite to name some). I'd like to see less Young Bucks matches and more FTR matches on Dynamite/Rampage but I know that that is unlikely to happen since I believe the majority of the fan base prefers the YB style over the FTR style.

I liked the Jericho/MJF bit but you could see it coming.

Did anyone else think punks promo was short?

 

[wildturkey]

Both Andrew Zarian and Sean Ross Sapp are heavily implying Danielson is gonna be at All Out. Zarian says the show will be filled with surprises.

Zarain was the one that initially broke the news Danielson was likely going to AEW. SRS is basically the best wrestling news reporter in the game right now. So if they're saying it, it's legit

I wonder how they’ll start writing him in the storylines. And also, if they do sign Adam Cole, do they debut him there as well or wait until the New York show?

I still don't think Cole to AEW is a slam dunk but....................

I’d be very surprised if he went to either of those places. He’ll be either on the main WWE roster, pushed for a month or so and then Vince will probably get tired of him and forget about him or he’ll be somehow involved with the Elite more than likely if he goes to AEW.

Neither do I. I think it’s 50/50 between AEW or WWE. Wouldn’t be surprised with him being in either place.

As previously reported, Adam Cole's WWE contract has expired, allowing him to become a free agent, and he's made a few new moves.

Wonder if there’s more to this than meets the eye.

I just don’t want to have to watch him anymore

You can always just turn the tv to a different channel whenever he (or anyone else you don’t like) is on or fast forward if you’re watching the shows off a DVR.
