Fantasy Booking:WCW never goes out of business

In March of 2001, AOL TimeWarner sold off WCW and all it's trademarks, championships, many of it's wrestlers and their entire tape library to the World Wrestling Federation. This happened, because on top of WCW's declining ratings in the Monday Night Wars (thank you SO much Vince Russo), AOL had no interest in airing wrestling on TNT anymore.

So now, we explore an alternate timeline of events, where Eric Bischoff and Fusient Media, beat the WWF in purchasing WCW from AOL TimeWarner in spring of 2001.

So now, Bischoff has basically paid out of pocket to keep WCW out of the hands of the uncaring WWF and it's monster of a CEO. So, what now? Well, WCW would most likely be nearly broke at this point, and would have very little money left to spend. Many lower-card wrestlers would likely get benched, and weekly shows would ALL get cancelled. This includes: Nitro and Thunder!

WCW would be forced to do what TNA did initially in our timeline: do PPV's ONLY, until they could find a new channel to air their weekly programming. Now, it just so happens, that later that same year, the WWF's flagship show: Monday Night Raw, would leave it's traditional home: the USA Network, to begin a four year stint on Spike TV. The USA Network experienced a HUGE loss with this change, and that's where WCW would step in. WCW even in it's worst days, were getting higher weekly ratings than TNA did in it's PRIME. So, needless to say, a now wrestling deprived USA Network, would pick up Nitro and the Monday Night Wars would be BACK ON.

Throughout all of this, Scott Steiner and Booker T, would likely remain on top of the mountain in WCW. Due to many wrestlers getting released, the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team titles would likely be retired, as would the Hardcore title. With Nitro's re-airing, WCW bring back the Television championship, which is put on the line in a tournament which is won either by a creatively deprived mid-carder (Billy Kidman), or a promising rookie (AJ Styles).

Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash would most likely NOT return to this new WCW. Instead, like many other wrestlers, they would sit at home and let their AOL TimeWarner contracts expire and would most likely join the WWF in early 2002 like they did IRL. Sting on the other hand, I could imagine returning to weekly programming, along with Diamond Dallas Page. DDP was willing to join the WWF IMMEDIATELY after WCW's cancellation IRL, so I think he'd come back to WCW instead of waiting it out. As for Sting, WCW was his home and he refused to join the WWF for many years. I think his loyalty would shine through, and he'd return as well.

Rey Mysterio Jr would wait out his contract like IRL and would get offers from both WWF and WCW. He'd agree to return to WCW, only if they gave him his mask back. Whether Bischoff agrees is up to him and him alone. Hopefully he lets him have it back.

AJ Styles, at least I HOPE, would remain employed by WCW. I think at this point in his career, Styles wouldn't dare leave a company like WCW, that could really help him get a foot in the door. His tag partner, Air Paris, would most likely be released. I think anyone could see Styles potential even this early on, and he'd be worth keeping in the long run. Hopefully, Bischoff would agree with me on that.

WCW's ratings would DEFINTELY increase throughout the 2000's. They'd actually be able to compete with WWE in my opinion, both because fans started losing interest in WWE frequently throughout the decade, and WCW has a LOT more legitimacy as a company than TNA did. TNA lost the second Monday Night War so definitively, because people couldn't take them seriously. WCW with it's rich history, is a very different story.

Now, when considering WCW in the long run, we have to sit back and ask ourselves, what wrestlers would NEVER join WCW? Well, here's a list of wrestlers I think wouldn't be on the table for WCW:

The Undertaker - Similar to Sting with WCW, Taker is a WWF man through and through. There's no WAY he would ever jump ship.

Kane - Same reason as the Undertaker.

Stone Cold Steve Austin - Austin would hold a grudge against Eric Bischoff for his unjust firing in 1995 while he was out with injury. Even when he walked out on the WWF in 2002, Austin wouldn't be caught dead on WCW programming.

The Rock - Rock's loyalty to the WWF would remain intact. The WWF made him a star, and he wouldn't forget that. Plus, WWF would finance his early films like IRL, making him a WWF-lifer.

Eddie Guerrero - Guerrero hated the way he was treated in WCW, hence why he left them in 2000. Would be unlikely to ever return, even when WWF briefly fired him.

Chris Benoit - Benoit also left WCW in a huff in 2000 for the same reasons as Eddie. Even being crowned WCW World champion, wasn't enough to keep Benoit around, so I see no reason why he'd budge.

Randy Orton - Bob Orton Jr never went to WCW during the Monday Night Wars, and I couldn't imagine him doing so in the early 2000's either. So therefore, his son Randy, would only get his wrestling career opportunity in WWE.

Batista - Had previously been rejected from the WCW Powerplant, and was told he would never make it in the business. Batista would NEVER forget that, and wouldn't think twice about joining and staying with the WWE instead.

Daniel Bryan - William Regal and Shawn Michaels trained him to wrestle. He would of course want to join them in WWE.

The Miz - WCW wouldn't even let him in the door, let's be honest.

I'm sure there's plenty of other people I'm missing, but for now let's go with this.

Now, I do believe WCW would operate somewhat like TNA did in its early years. Apart from the PPV-exclusive format WCW would operate with throughout most of 2001, it would also likely feature a lot of the same wrestlers. However, it's also important to note, that TNA would NEVER exist in this timeline. Jeff Jarrett formed it because WCW shut down and he knew WWF wouldn't want him after what he pulled in 1999. So, he formed TNA, so he'd have a non-WWF promotion to call home. In this timeline, WCW never closes, so Jarrett remains in WCW and TNA is never formed.

In 2004, Brock Lesnar would be picked up by WCW. Brock left WWE IRL in 2004, because they're schedule was too much for Brock to handle. WCW prided itself in it's lighter schedule, and Brock would be the biggest free agent in wrestling. Lesnar would agree, on the condition that he be given extended periods of inactivity in order to pursue the NFL (and later UFC), which WCW would agree to do. Anything to get Lesnar. In fact, I'd bet that many UFC fighters would join WCW. Eric Bischoff has a real appreciation for MMA and other contact sports, and we'd likely see a lot of UFC/WCW cross-promotions.

WCW throughout the 2000's, would also likely hire all the big indie stars not signed by the WWE. CM Punk is a definite in my opinion. Although, I could also imagine Punk joining WWE instead, since Paul Heyman was the one who vouched for him, and Heyman was in WWE, NOT WCW. However, if WCW values wrestling (which it normally did), then WCW would come knocking on Punk's door.

Samoa Joe would be a definite yes for WCW. I'm honestly surprised Joe ever went to WWE, considering how rude Jim Ross apparently was to him early in his indie career. With no TNA, Joe would go to WCW and would quickly rise to the main event.

Kurt Angle would likely join WCW in 2006, after leaving the WWE like he did IRL. He'd be a MAJOR signing for WCW, and would definitely help further boost ratings.

Other people I could imagine joining WCW throughout the years include:

Bobby Lashley

Drew McIntyre

Seth Rollins

Jon Moxley

Lance Archer

Big Show

AJ Lee

Charlotte Flair

Gail Kim

Awesome Kong

Cesaro

Jay Lethal

Richie Steamboat

Again, I'm sure I've missed a lot of people, but these ones all stick out to me personally.

Some effects WCW's presence would have on WWE, include the fact that Evolution would never be formed (at least not in the same way). There's a VERY real chance that Triple H and Shawn Michaels could both have joined WCW, if Hall and Nash had decided to stay in WCW. If not, then Ric Flair definitely would've stayed in WCW, and Evolution might not have happened at all.

Another thing is that John Cena might never have become a big deal. WWE came very close to firing Cena, and there's a chance that because of the butterfly effect, Stephanie McMahon never discovers his rapping ability, and Cena is fired. If that's the case, Cena probably wouldn't have gone to WCW, since they wouldn't see much value in a kid who at the time, had no visible charisma and was fairly average in the ring.

Cody Rhodes also never would've joined WWE or formed AEW. Dusty Rhodes and Goldust would've stayed in WCW instead of joining the WWF, and thus Cody would be trained in the WCW Powerplant and debuted on Nitro in 2007. Cody would be treated a LOT better than IRL, and would've become one of WCW's biggest players of the 2010's. No mistreatment by WWE, means no Stardust, no American Nightmare, no AEW, and no run in WWE period. Cody would be WCW-bound for life.

The Hardy Boyz would also be WCW-bound. Jeff was fired from WWE in 2003 after refusing to go to rehab. He'd be a hot free agent that WCW couldn't possibly pass up. Matt would join him in 2005, when WWE fires him for his online post about Edge and Lita's affair.

Ring of Honor would still exist, but probably wouldn't rise to prominence like IRL, since ROH became popular because of WCW's demise. When WCW shut down, people yearned for an alternative to WWE. But now, WCW is still around and thus ROH is a lot more obscure. If WCW got to a point of getting rich again, I could imagine them buying it out like Tony Khan did IRL. The wealth of talent ROH could provide WCW with would be INSANE.

Now, if CM Punk DID join WCW, then he never would've retired in 2014. He would be likely treated a little better, get no staph infection, and would remain active throughout the entirety of the 2010's. He'd probably never marry AJ Lee sadly, although I could imagine Lee going to WCW, since WWE's women's division was AWFUL for a long time. Then again WCW's wasn't that much better honestly, though hopefully that would change in this timeline.

The nWo would absolutely be revived at some point, with new members. CM Punk would be a FANTASTIC nWo leader.

The WWE as a whole, would probably be a better overall product. Vince wouldn't get an inflated ego from purchasing both ECW and WCW, and would still operate like he did in the Attitude Era. WWE would still lose viewers after the deaths of Eddie and Benoit. WWE would still go PG and despite the ongoing Monday Night Wars, Vince McMahon CLEARLY has mental health problems in real life, so it wouldn't stop him from micromanaging. WWE would remain out of touch with it's fans and continue pushing wrestlers that fans don't like. With Edge, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker and Batista all leaving WWE in 2010 and 11, plus with Cena possibly never becoming a main eventer, WWE suffers a LOT in the early 2010's, helping WCW gain even more fan support with better promos and matches.

WCW would form a working partnership with NJPW, which would really help them even more, since it would get them wrestlers like Kenny Omega, Shinsuke Nakamura, Jushin Liger, Jay White and Kazuchika Okada to perform on Nitro. Just IMAGINE THAT.

By today, WCW would be more popular than WWE and AEW in our timeline. It would get millions of viewers a week, and WWE would likely become a shell of it's former self. The wrestling landscape is a lot healthier, with viewers and performers having a different place to watch/wrestle, that was actually on WWE's level. TNA suffered because it was a lesser promotion, with a short history, and a roster of WWE's leftovers. Plus it was run by Vince Russo and Dixie Carter. Ugh.

WCW surviving would've been the best thing possible for wrestling as a whole. We can blame Vince McMahon, for yet another thing he robbed the world of. Thank you so so much Vince. We REALLY appreciate it.

The current champions for WCW are as follows:

WCW World Heavyweight Champion: Cody Rhodes

WCW United States Champion: Seth Rollins

WCW Women’s Champion: Charlotte Flair

WCW World Television Champion: AJ Styles

WCW World Cruiserweight Champion: Adam Cole

WCW World Tag Team Champions: FTR

I'm sorry but the ending to Double or Nothing was insaneee- like holy shit.

My main concern is Darby though, he had multiple rest spots. Jack-off Perry almost hit him with a car, and he was hung from the fucking ceiling.

Thats not good. The blood from his nose could flood the bones and cartilage in his nose and he'd have to go get surgery to repair it.

We got a new international champ tho, that's my boy!

Orange beat ✨️le roach✨️ Beretta.

Kris is on a heel turn, which I don't like. But also I like-

Mercedes fucking had the title handed to her in a debut match.

We got to see fucking Gangrel. Crawl from underneath the ring, And Edge Retained.

And Swerve retained his belt aswell.

Death Triangle sadly lost. Poor Pac :(

but still, my voice is dead again :) I destroyed it seeing Darby with the Flamethrower and when I saw Gangrel!

But the main question is...

Will Darby be suspended for making TK fear his life because of what happened with the flamethrower?

Because I just know, Jack-off Perry probably paid off TK to win that match.

And I love how Danielson had the fucking final countdown playing. I love I fell tho-

I couldn't stand the EVPs new theme. Then again it's my opinion.

Anyways, Happy Memorial Day.

[eudico-my-beloved]

thinking about what will never be. all those different and divergent branches, now pruned off and dead all except for two which has been now twisted and made to one when we shook on the deal. sure, the now singular branch will grow and diverge newer branches of its own, but it will never be what's lost. what would the tenno have been? dead, for whatever crimes charged by the orokin? would they have been happy? but now whatever it is that could've happened in them are gone and what could perhaps have happened will now be a mere impossible "what if" and never has been.

[mojo72400]

As of now

All The Young Bucks and FTR needs are the Impact World Tag Team Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship

Lucha Bros only need the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship and the NWA World Tag Team Championship

I'm not sure if we should include PWG, RPW, or MLW tag titles

Nikki Lane & Jaime Wyatt Live Preview: 12/14, Evanston SPACE

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Nikki Lane updates Cher’s “Mom, I am a rich man” on her latest and best album: “I’m going my way, livin’ and dyin’ / And I can buy my own damn denim and diamonds.” Throughout Denim & Diamonds (New West), the Highway Queen reflects on her past, present, and future, weaving tales of independence with boisterous rock and roll. The high school dropout-turned fashion designer-turned vintage Western wear shop owner and operator wears tumult like earned badges. On “Born Tough”, she sets the stage as a “big-hearted girl” in “a man’s world,” divorced “by the age of twenty-nine,” delivered over arena rock drum fills and monster hooks. “Black Widow” lays down an outlaw with whom Lane likely feels kinship: “Full metal woman in a thrift store jacket / Runnin’ Tulsa to San Antone / Making bad decisions / Don’t need no permission / If she wants to get a little stoned.” And in contrast to the platitudes of songs like “Try Harder” and “Live/Love”, a trotting song like “Good Enough” features Lane’s strongest songwriting to date. “Patience is a virtue,” she sings, making you think she’s going to provide us with another mantra, before deftly subverting traditional Americana imagery: “Battered up and beaten by the road that horse has traveled / And I’ve rode so far my rope has come unraveled in the rain.” 

For her first full-length in 5 years, Lane sought the assistance of Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, admittedly a head-scratching choice considering his recent history of legal troubles, including domestic violence allegations from his ex-wife Brody Dalle. I still think Denim & Diamonds is worth listening to, and that it’s certainly worth paying to see Lane live, as, in my mind, she didn’t need him or any of his band members to bolster her pop or rock chops. (After all, this is someone who’s already co-written with Lana Del Rey and sung backup vocals for Spiritualized.) Matt Pynn’s pedal steel wouldn’t be as affecting on “Faded”, nor Alain Johannes’ nylon string guitar on “Chimayo”, without Lane’s longing vocal turns. With every album, Lane is widening her reach; soon, she’ll be the one folks reach to in order to help shape their sound.

Opening for Lane tonight at SPACE and rendering it one of the best country bills of the year is singer-songwriter Jaime Wyatt, still riding strong off of her excellent 2020 album Neon Cross (New West). Wyatt grew up on country and folk and entered the music industry as a teenager but ended up addicted to hard drugs and spent jail time after robbing her drug dealer. Her marriage ended after serving 8 months, and when her father passed away, she relapsed. A lot of these hard times informed 2017′s Felony Blues; her further recovery and coming out as queer informed Neon Cross, from its instant classic title track to the somber version of Dax Riggs’ “Demon Tied to a Chair in My Brain”. I can’t wait to hear what Wyatt does next. Maybe she’ll play something new tonight? Fingers-crossed.

Tickets still available at the time of publication. Doors at 7:00 P.M., show at 8.

AEW Dynamite 12/21/22

Starks comes out to talk about what happened last week. Starks says MJF may be the champion, but he has no dignity or balls. Starks says they will meet again, and he will work his way back up to a title shot if he has to. 

Jericho comes out with Garcia and Guevara to interrupt Starks. Jericho says Starks will be a world champion someday, but he's not quite ready yet. Jericho says Starks has everything he needs to be a big star, but he just needs a little influence, a little advice, a little Chris Jericho. Jericho invites Starks to join the Jericho Appreciation Society. Starks says, wow, Jericho gave him a compliment, now it's his turn. Starks says he likes the fact that Jericho knows how to stay relevant and he likes how Jericho is constantly evolving. He says a few months ago, Jericho was built like an air fryer, but now Jericho is lean, shredded, and dressed like a single father on his fifth divorce. Starks says the offer is tempting, but Jericho's stock has dropped since losing to Andretti, and the J in JAS might as well stand for jobbers. He calls Garcia and Guevara JASholes, lmao. Starks challenges Jericho to a match. Jericho says that was the wrong answer. Hager attacks Starks from behind. The JAS all join in. Action Andretti comes out to aid Starks! He lands a moonsault on Jericho! 

Death Triangle (c) vs. The Elite -- Match 5 in the Best of 7 Series for the AEW World Trios Championship (No DQ) -- Penta takes a trashcan to Kenny's head! Big dropkick by Penta from the top to Kenny, assisted by Pac and Fénix with the trashcan. Penta props up a Christmas tree in one corner and a chair in the other. Matt gets thrown into the tree! Excalibur: "The unforgiving artificial pine needles." Pac folds the chair around Nick's ankle, but Kenny makes the save, throwing a trashcan at Pac! Kenny lands a moonsault on Pac with the trashcan! Kenny takes his barbed wire broom to Fénix's back, then lands the running bulldog, driving Fénix's face into the broom!!! Elbow to Penta by Matt! Senton from Nick off the top, driving Pac through the tables set up on the outside!!! Nasty tiger driver from Kenny to Fénix on the broom!!!!! Kenny lands a V-trigger, then goes for the One-Winged Angel, but Fénix reverses into a hurricanrana!! Fénix takes the hammer to Kenny's head!!!! Kenny kicks out! Pac locks in the Brutalizer on Kenny!!! Fénix locks in a knee bar on Nick!!! Matt breaks up both holds with stomps! Huge snap dragon suplex from Kenny to Fénix!!! The Bucks land a Meltzer Driver on Fénix onto a chair!!!!! The Bucks get the pinfall!!! Death Triangle beat The Elite down with the hammers and other weapons after the match!!!!!!

Great stuff here, what's new!!!!!! Not the best match of the series, but still great. Guess we're going all seven then, huh? Bring it on!!!! Rating: 3.75

We see a video of MJF backstage last week. He is livid about Danielson interfering in his business after his title defense. He calls Danielson a gutless coward. "That was my moment. That was my first title defense. And what do you do? You try to attack me from behind." He says Danielson is a nobody in his world. "I beat Ricky Starks clean, smack dab in the middle of the ring." Lmaoo. "Everybody wants to ride my wave in this company. Everybody wants to eat off of my plate. Well guess what, Bryan Danielson? When it comes to the reign of terror, you will eat less than you desire and more than you deserve." GO AHEAD, CHAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jericho with a fireball to Andretti's face backstage! 

Danielson is in the ring to talk about Regal. He says that Regal made him the wrestler he is today. He says that he cried in the hospital when he thought he wouldn't see Regal again. Danielson says Regal taught him that there are consequences to his actions. Danielson addresses MJF, saying that MJF needs to learn that there are consequences to his actions, especially when he hurts someone Danielson loves more than anyone besides his family. He yells for MJF to get out there!!! Of course, MJF does not show up.

Instead, Ethan Page comes out with Stokely. Page calls Danielson vegetable man, not because of what he eats, but because, if he thinks he is jumping ahead of Page for a title shot, Page will turn him into a vegetable. Danielson says he is distracted by the glare off Stokely's head and asks if he can grow some hair. Stokely calls Danielson a raggedy bitch. Lmaooo. 

What an underrated promo Danielson is. He is so comfortable and confident and genuine. Love that guy. 

Jon Moxley vs. Darius Martin - This was fine enough, but it bored the hell out of me. Moxley wins. Rating: 2.25

FTR vs. The Gunns -- This is fine. FTR do what they can to make this work. The Gunns win with a roll up, one of them holding onto the arm of the other on the outside for leverage to pin Dax. Ugh. Rating: 2.5

Really awkward segment with Keith Lee, Swerve Strickland, and Rick Ross. Swerve has a new faction of random nobodies now, I guess. Swerve with a stomp off the top to Lee on the outside, breaking a cinder block on Lee's abdomen!!! Wtf is going on??? 

Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women's World Championship -- The match starts with an aggressive exchange of strikes. Hayter dominates Shida on the outside, slinging her into the barricade. Snap suplex by Hayter in the ring!! Elbow exchange!!! Dropkick by Shida to turn the tide! Missile dropkick from the second rope by Shida. On the apron, Shida slings Hayter into the ring post, hits a big knee strike, then lands a suplex to the floor!!!! Back in the ring, elbows by Hayter, enziguri by Shida, big boot by Hayter, jumping knee strike by Shida!!!! Meteora off the top, then Falcon Arrow by Shida, but Hayter kicks out! Shida goes to the top for some offense, Hayter lands a headbutt to knock Shida off!!! Hayter goes for a moonsault off the top, but misses. Big running knee by Shida!! Hayter kicks out! Hayter with a huge neck breaker on the knee, then a sliding lariat!!! Shida kicks out! Back breaker on the knee by Hayter, and Shida kicks out again! Hayter attempts her ripcord lariat, but Shida reverses and lands a knee strike!! Shida goes for the Katana, but Hayter ducks! Ripcord lariat attempt again by Hayter, but Shida reverses into a German suplex! Britt and Rebel try to get involved, but Shida stops it quickly with the kendo stick. Hayter attempts a powerbomb, but Shida reverses into a roll up. Hayter rolls through into a pinning predicament of her own, gets a two count, then deadlifts Shida into a huge powerbomb!!!! Damn!! Shida kicks out! Sliding lariat by Hayter, but Shida kicks out again!! Huge ripcord lariat by Hayter finally puts Shida down for three!!

This was really great, hard-hitting stuff. Both of them were so good here. I enjoyed this a lot. Rating: 3.75

Most Beloved AEW Tournament Round 1 Statistics Dump

Thank you all for participating in the wonderful first two weeks of my silly lil poll

Followers: 130

Total Votes: 13,148

Times I accidentally forgot to include a wrestler: 1 (sorry ZSJ)

Beloved By Gender

So the original count of men, women and nonbinary wrestlers was 205/64/2, demonstrated in a pie chart as:

(The fact that this is the chart is a separate problem that won't be addressed here)

But after voting, the ratio looks like this:

Which means, from an overall standpoint, women and nonbinary wrestlers are more beloved than men

Voting trends

As the tournament got more popular, more votes started coming in, which is how some winners got so few votes. Over the last two weeks, the vote counts look like:

(Day 6 was the Great Riho VS Kip Sabian Battle of 2023 and also featured Ricky Starks and Nick Jackson in the voting with just shy of 600 votes just between the four of them. Day 11 was the Roderick Strong VS Trent Beretta debate and also Danhausen, garnering well over 600 votes between the three of them)

Aew double or nothing predictions

As always this is who I think will win not necessarily who I want to win

Thunder Rosa vs. Deonna Purrazzo: Singles match

Deonna cause they're pushing her

The Acclaimed (Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) vs. Cage of Agony (Brian Cage and Gates of Agony (Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun)) Trios match

Everyone loves the Acclaimed but I wouldn't be surprised if GOA win cause they're being mega pushed.

Adam Copeland (c) vs. Malakai Black Barbed Wire Steel Cage match for the AEW TNT Championship

If Copeland loses, he must bend the knee and join The House of Black

I would have said Malakai before Wednesday but after dynamite I think they're definitely giving it to Adam.

Roderick Strong (c) (with Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) vs. Will Ospreay: Singles match for the AEW International Championship

Do I want Will to win? Of course but I don't know If they're gonna give him a title this soon. Imma say Will but I think they're gonna keep it on Roddy I really do.

Trent Beretta vs. Orange Cassidy Singles match

I love them both and I don't like them fighting but imma say Trent because I've a feeling OC gonna do something with Don callis family 🤢

Bang Bang Gang (Jay White and The Gunns (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn)) (c) vs. Death Triangle (Pac, Rey Fénix and Penta El Zero Miedo) (with Alex Abrahantes) Trios match for the Unified World Trios Championship.

Unfortunately I think the bang bang gang are gonna retain when I really want it to be death triangle

Chris Jericho (c) (with Big Bill) vs. Hook vs. Katsuyori Shibata Three-way FTW Rules match for the FTW Championship

I want shibata to win so bad cause he's brilliant but I think Chris gonna retain

Jon Moxley vs. Konosuke Takeshita (with Don Callis) IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Eliminator match

If Takeshita wins, he will receive a future IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match

Give it to my man Take

But will never count mox out I think he's gonna do it.

Timeless Toni Storm (c) (with Luther and Mariah May) vs. Serena Deeb Singles match for the AEW Women's World Championship

Toni!

Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Mercedes Moné Singles match for the AEW TBS Championship

I'm gonna be so mad when they give it to this bitch willow deserve to retain so bad! But unfortunately I think they're gonna give it to her 🤢

The Elite (Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry, and The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson)) vs. Team AEW (Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood)) Anarchy in the Arena match

I'm so torn on this one , if Tony has control I'd say team elite if not then EVPs gonna do it

Imma say EVPs but I'm honestly not sure lol

Swerve Strickland (c) (with Prince Nana) vs. Christian Cage (with Killswitch, Nick Wayne, and Mother Wayne) Singles match for the AEW World Championship

Bro catch a vibe

Swerves gonna come out alive!
