I really hope Hobbs and Starks get the tag titles.
Punk kinda has to win the title, right?

Week and a half out of the show, my picks would be
Punk (Hangman could "survive", but I think the title should be on Punk, especially going into Forbidden Door in Chicago) Rosa Starks & Hobbs (Christian needs to turn) Jade Cole (Kyle would be cool, he's the closest to Owen of the remaining 3 and he's Canadian) Ruby? I dunno Wardlow Jericho's Crew wins this one, BCC/Eddie/LAX win Blood & Guts Death Triangle Bucks HOOKhausen

I've got some random (one) thoughts:
Punk/Hangman - Nothing about this build has made a whole lot of sense to me. HOWEVER, I do think it's gonna make all the sense in the world by the time Double or Nothing is all said and done. Something has been missing, something has been unexplained throughout. Hangman has actually looked like the heel during the whole thing. Punk has been a little too much "it's just business".
My theory is that Hangman (kayfabe) sees a whole different side of Punk backstage and around the boys. He knows the "real" Punk. But Hangman is a good ol boy and isn't a snitch. He's certainly addressed Punk face to face but hasn't told the audience why he feels the way he does.
After Punk low blows him or whatnot in the closing moments of the main event and turns heel and wins the strap, my gut tells me that Hangman will at that point elaborate in further detail and it will all come full circle.
That's my hope anyway, because anything much short of that will only enhance my thought that this feud was poorly thought out and poorly executed.

New Japan folks have to show up. Multiple times.
You’re next PPV is based on that. So that’s the reason I think Hangman retains. Punk winning in Chicago at All Out would make sense. But can you keep him the top babyface that long?
I’m interested in seeing how they do it. There’s plenty of NJPW guys in town I think.
This show should be fun. Exhausting at times but fun.

Punk turning heel makes sense. Especially since Danielson abandoned his heel role.
Have him turn in Chicago though.

I’m still WWE brainwashed in thinking Danielson turns and joins Jericho tomorrow. BCC is the best thing going in AEW and WWE mind has made me think they’re going to squash it.
Danielson and Mox need to go for the tag titles though

Wardlow/MJF - This has been fantastic. More than anything else, I want AEW to continue to abandon (and by the way, where the fuck is Abadon) but anywho, please for the love of God continue to have Wardlow come out to no entrance music and just let the fans chant his name.
We all know what's going to happen....... but do we? I feel they could easily go back to back PPV's with this feud in some fashion.

Rosa/Deeb - I have little doubt the match will be elite but man, the promos have been miserable. Deeb especially.

Tag Titles - Jungle Jack has been on a losing streak and that will continue. Love me some Keith Lee & Swerve but love me some Starks & Hobbs even more. And so does Tony Khan. He's usually pretty loyal to his originals and I don't see things changing much here.
Christian will turn on Jack Jungle Perry Boy on the next Dynamite.

Owen: Joe/Cole - Joe already has a belt. Cole really hasn't had a signature win in AEW. Cole. Baker/Soho - If you're gonna have Cole win it, you might as well have Britt win it. Ruby needs it more that Britt but she's a tweaker. I know a tweaker when I see it and she's it. So give me Cole & the dentist.

Jade/Jay - Jade will destroy her but Anna Jay will look hot getting destroyed. Win/win.

Anarchy: I agree the JAS will prevail which will set up the Blood & Guts rematch. Probably why they ran the Danielson leg work?
In any event, while I LOVE Daniel Garcia in the ring, he should never ever ever talk. Might even be worse than Deeb. Or Hager.

House of Black/Death Triangle - Will probably steal the show if given time but nobody will talk about it because there's like 80 matches on the card.
I feel like Malakai needs a signature win.

Is it wrong that I don’t care? I mean I know I should bite, but I don’t care.
Even if it’s legit, which I don’t believe, it’s just weird this whole Tony/MJF thing.
We get it, MJF is a dick.

That's really not cool.

Why have your fans go through hoops to buy $100+ meet and greet tickets when they’re just going to no show? I could buy the Sting or showing up as an injury work. Joe too even. But why even have fans get their expectations up? Kayfabe brother.

Did they ever air this on TV? If they didn’t they’re fucking morons.
Eddie Kingston is on another level. From everyone. It’s fucking mind blowing how great of a promo he is.

Please don’t go WCW and MJF lays down at the bell, gets pinned and walks.
He wasn’t on the plane last night. Bryan & Dave did a breaking news audio on F4W and they booked Wardlow winning the world title in a 3 way if his match didn’t happen. Dave said or they’d need something big and threw out Goldberg’s name to lose.
Did you know he’s only wrestled 23 times in singles matches in AEW? That’s including squashes. He apparently wants more $$$ but doesn’t want to sign an extension.
