I would reveal on the following Dynamite that the title is staying on Christian per executive decision of the EVPs Matt and Nick Jackson. You could even do a story where the Bucks use this to try and smooth things over with Hangman. Swerve is no longer champ, but everyone knows he got screwed and now his baby face journey to become champion begins again. Christian becomes the corporate champion, with Nick, Kill Switch, and Mother Wayne all helping him win his title matches, IN ADDITION to him having The Bucks in his pocket. I think this would be awesome. I also would leave it undetermined whether or not Hangman will rejoin the Elite since they helped him screw Swerve.Reprise wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 3:03 amFunnily enough, I was thinking the same two things would save it for me. I was watching the hype package for Mercedes vs Willow that AEW put out, as well as a few podcasts/youtube shows talking about the match, and it made me look forward to it more than the actual build did. They have a real opportunity here to prove their detractors wrong and put on a an absolute banger as you say. And then do something shocking to set up her next angle.Raging Justice wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 8:44 pm I'm not feeling Double or Nothing, but I'll tell you what could save it for me:
Mercedes and Willow having a banger of a match, and then AEW IMMEDIATELY setting something up for Mercedes after she wins the belt. Hell, I wish Kamille or Britt Baker would show up and attack her or something.
Hangman showing up during Anarchy in the Arena, then showing up AGAIN during Swerve/Christian
Christian wins the title with help from Hangman, but there's controversy...like the ref didn't see Swerve's foot on the rope or something, the referees are arguing and Hangman and Christian both look like they are about to lose their goddamn minds. The result of the match is left in question as the show goes off the air
I would love to see Hangman show up in either or both matches. I like what you have there with Swerve and Christian. Fans will chant "bullshit", but the story will be great and it does exactly what we were discussing the other day - it ends on a cliffhanger and makes the next Dynamite must-see television.
Christian deserves a world title run and Swerve would be protected and can become champion again one day in the future. Realistically, the Bucks should be trying to get heels to hold ALL of the titles. Maybe you could even start a program between Perry and Jericho, where The Elite essentially screw Jericho out of the FTW title. This could either A) Make people like Jericho again or B)solve the problem of people hating him as champ and getting the belt off of him onto someone more interesting. I think there could be money in a Perry/Hook feud over the FTW title, especially if you have Samoa Joe become the Sting to Hook's Darby Allin
Could be cool if done right, would certainly top Darby falling on real glassReprise wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 3:46 am Is Jack going to get set on fire?
