Rotunda? Danhausen? Given the amount of depth they have in the mid/upper card at the moment I'm at a loss as to where either of those would fit in.

Presumably they set that up on Dynamite this week. Surely there won't be, there just isn't enough time. I could see them running long with Danielson/Page again, and using that as an excuse to bump the tag title match to Battle of the Belts, though.  Quote  https://411mania.com/wrestling/tony-khan-one-of-dream-signings-coming-aew-pretty-soon/ Given how mediocre the recent signing flurry has been, who do we think he's referring to here?

My guess would be, unfortunately, that he feels like enough time has passed for them to bring Ric Flair in. Edited January 5, 2022 by RedRooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 Gargano and Keith Lee feel like the most obvious upcoming signings. Poor Hunter. Ended up running a developmental system for the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was after the Sting/Darby/CM Punk match. Andrade has also been promoting him as well. It wouldn't shock me at this point  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Do we get pouncy Keith Lee or sneaky Keith Lee for his debut though? Actually I wouldn't mind Cody doing an open challenge, Keith Lee accepts and Cody utters these words.. And now I'm just annoying myself at how much they fucked up with Keith Lee. Fucking idiots.

Loki Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Keith Lee seemed like a lock for a major WWE career - just those few minutes in there with Lesnar showed he had the gravitas to be the man. Â No idea what happened - he's had health issues right? Nevertheless - there are TOO MANY people on the AEW roster, particularly ones who I imagine expect themselves to be main eventers.

There were too many people on the AEW roster even before Danielson, Punk and Cole arrived. And they have continued to sign people since then.

Going by how he hyped up Christians debut, its probably Steve Lombardi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrade/Flair vs Darby/Sting feud to see us through to Revolution. Would set up some Sting/Flair segments too which I just think they are desperate to do to be honest, especially now that they are TBS.

They have enough in the way of talent to make it work, it would drastically reduce the number of multi-person matches and feuds, give the women more time to be prominent parts of each show, give emerging stars like Wardlow, Jungle Boy, The Acclaimed, Ricky Starks and Hook the opportunity to feature more prominently and give interesting characters like Black, Eddie Kingston and Miro the chance to play a more pivotal part in their respective shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 5, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 That's almost what they do with these different tiers for Dark, Elevation and Dynamite/Rampage isn't it? I wouldn't be averse to Rampage being wholly given over to the Codyverse so I can stop watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
