Could be because Punk’s more successful but it seems like Colt might be a shady ass, carny mahfuck who screws his friends over for a buck.

Entirely possible. It’s also possible he’s just a big dumb fuck who assumed that Punk footing the bill to move proceedings along meant he wasn’t gonna have to pay at all despite them being a joint party on the suit.
Without knowing all of the details it feels like even the most basic of communication skills could’ve avoided a lot of this nonsense. |

Brian Last has been hinting (without subtlety) that there is way more shit to come up on Kenny Omega’s backstage antics. He seems to be in the loop. He seems to think Ace Steel and Omega are going to be the casualties of this investigation. It’s interesting, because I would have thought The Bucks, specifically Matt, would have been the first heads on the chopping block from The Elite side.

Yeah I heard him say Kenny was on the chopping block but he didn't really elaborate. I def raised my eyebrow.

It seems like he knows something that he isn’t breaking as news just yet.

A lot of it is based on Emi Sakura, who he brought in as a "Coach" for the Women's Division. Mainly how she trained a LOT of female wrestlers, many of them very young (Riho was 8, another of her students was the girl that Omega wrestled in that infamous match that Cornette bitches about). She had 3 schools (ICE Ribbon, Gatoh MOVE, and Choco Pro), and none of the schools had rings. Also, Gatoh MOVE was based out of Thailand, which she went to after some issues in ICE Ribbon with students.
And part of the reason why Omega liked Japan so much was because they report assaults over there even less than it gets reported in the US. And he hangs out with a bunch of abusers because he himself is one. |

Look, I also hope it’s not true, but it does disturb me seeing adults perform physical stunts with kids. The wrestling speaking out thing shone some light on the British scene — I don’t know why Japanese promotions that are basically fronts for softcore porn shoots and training children for “entertainment” should get a pass. It gives me the heebies. If it turns out Omega has benefit from that industry…look, can anyone play dumb and say “Who could have seen that coming?!?” Was it really a big surprise when the guy who used his position of power in wrestling to get people to touch his penis turned out to be a creep? I’m talking about Joey Ryan, but that could be Vince.
I think if it were that, Last would be more direct in calling him out, but he did say that Omega might be staying in Japan if it all comes out about him. |

From a pure entertainment standpoint if I have to choose between Kenny/The Bucks and Punk it’s not even close I chose Kenny and the Bucks.
Play punks music from time to time then let MJF cut a promo and we’re miles ahead with the value he’s added so far. I was pretty hyped for his return but most of its kinda been very underwhelming. |

Triple H experimenting with real music, played "White Rabbit" during a commercial break. Now Tony is up against the ropes!

The way that turned red at the end made me think Bray was about to walk out. Seems like an appropriate set up.

Licensed music is potentially a great tool. It’s expensive, but the WWE has got the resources. But hey, just during commercial breaks works too. Triple H seems more mindful of the show as a live experience.

The last time FTR wrestled a straight-up tag team match in AEW was at Forbidden Door. Their last one on Dynamite was against Roppongi Vice in May. Before that it was The Bucks match in April.

Samuel Guevara has been weird on Twitter. He might just be looking for attention, but he has posted a few things about things ending and going to new places, etc. He’s also posted pics of people taking bows and has an email for booking requests for him and Tay.

I slept on the idea of ROH being the place for The Elite when it comes out they are all tossers. Maybe it’s just because I don’t see them going along with it, or TK taking the Elite out of All Elite Wrestling if it’s possible not to. But let’s say that CM Punk and Ace Steel have the bigger legal dick because Ace Steel’s wife felt intimidated, etc. Punk doesn’t want them to fuck off completely, he just wants more power and control in AEW and them to have none. They weigh up leaving but decide that it would be better to stay associated and get ROH.
Final Battle: * Claudio Castagnoli vs. Kenny Omega * FTR vs. The Young Bucks The Bucks win the tag belts because FTR go to AEW full-time as the star team there. It’s the little bargaining chip to make it seem like they aren’t getting buried — they get to win that series. The Briscoes then confront them, and since Jeff Hardy is on his way back, that’s where you put him and Matt. Omega can either win the ROH Title or Will Ospreay can cost him that match to put more build behind Omega and Ospreay for the IWGP US Title at Wrestle Kingdom. ROH also has Colt Cabana. Adam Page can go over and you can run Page vs. Omega II over there eventually. |

I want to see Claudio vs. Shingo at WK. Make that for the ROH Title. Shingo can win the belt and spend some time in ROH. He can have the gimmick of trying to go through the ROH Hall of Famers (Danielson, Punk, Joe). He can eventually drop the belt to Omega who would be the centerpiece there. Omega can then defend the belt against Okada at a crossover show before eventually dropping it to Page.

Dynamite Grand Slam:
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Claudio Castagnoli (C) AEW World Tag Team Championship: The Acclaimed vs. Swerve in our Glory (C) AEW Women's Championship: Dr. Britt Baker vs. Serena Deeb vs. Athena vs. Toni Storm (C) AEW All-Atlantic Championship: Orange Cassidy vs. PAC (C) --- Rampage Grand Slam: No DQ: Darby Allin and Sting vs. The House of Black (Brody King and Buddy Matthews) Eddie Kingston vs. Sammy Guevara Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Ricky Starks Jungle Boy vs. Rey Fenix TBS Championship: Diamante vs. Jade Cargill (C) Angelo Parker and Matt Menard vs. Hook and Action Bronson Wardlow and Samoa Joe vs. Tony Nese and Josh Woods Golden Ticket Battle Royal featuring Lance Archer, Penta Oscuro, Jay Lethal, Adam Page, The Dark Order, Rush, and more --- Cramming 8 matches onto a 2-hour Rampage, but at least 3 of those figure to be quick squashes. Between that and the battle royal it feels like they're really just trying to get everyone a match on their big stadium show, kinda like how the Andre Battle Royal was mostly just added to get everyone a Mania payday. That said whilst I love a good battle royal, having it be for a title shot is clunky as hell. Yeah it's an easy way to set the new champion up for their first challenger so they can get some defenses in before MJF takes the belt, but it only further highlights how pointless rankings are. They may as well just mercy kill them in the new year. In any event this will be a long night attending live but there should be some real belters on there. Excited to go. |

Bryan Alvarez let it slip on one of the Observer shows that there was a previous internal investigation in AEW that went several months. He didn’t say what it was about, but that could support what Brian Last has said about there being lots of issues involving The Bucks and Omega in the past (provided it was them getting investigated).

Kenny Omega has been booted from the main event of AAA Triplemania XXX next month because his AEW suspension won't let him compete elsewhere either, apparently.

I think this whole deal will work against the Bucks and how they're featured, though. I don't think Tony will be appreciative that they let the situation with Punk get out of control, given how much he is/was paying the guy.
