So, remember that Moxley/Tanahashi match they were clearly building to last summer on the road to All Out, then forgot about after Mox got booed in the ladder match before Full Gear? Well, it's probably happening at Forbidden Door, with incredible stakes. That's door number one, door number two is whoever wins the Battle Royale... wondering who they're gonna give it to. Danielson's right there and Mox/Danielson II? Yes please. yep ties them up 1-1 and further that future storyline

He’s No. 4 in the rankings on their website. Wardlow - has only been an "official member of the roster" since Sunday Cole - is apparently injured Hangman - has a rematch clause, but isn't the number one contender

Wait one god damn second , Mox is 4th on the rankings though LMFAO this system is so flawed 😭😭😭 They need to give the crowd big matches to make up for this. Now is not the time to nitpick the rankings.

I am all for nitpicking but Jon Moxley like almost never loses, especially in singles matches. If they were going to pick one dude to put in this position, it probably should be him in and out of kayfabe.

I'm much more interested in Bryan facing Tanahashi than Moxley as of this moment.

Seems like it'd be a giant missed opportunity to not have the final two in the battle royal be Danielson and Miro. They're both extremely viable candidates and there's a lot of storytelling you can tell with either of them in winning, in coming up short there, or in losing to Moxley.

I also imagine the battle royal is there to give Tony some time to figure out what he wants to do which like fair.

Yeah I was curious why only one match was booked for this week even on Wednesday, he must have known Punk got f***ed before the show ended. He's gonna be re-planning a lot of stuff I think and going with the best options.

The AEW Champion for the month of June is whoever you want it to be. I choose Big Daddy Yum Yum.

Actually watched this to find out what was going on… Whole thing was weird. I assume they had something in mind, but were hoping for Punk to get them there on-screen in his promo. He goes a bit open-ended, leaning towards “keeping it”, Jericho on commentary is like “he’s vacating it”, everyone gets confused and then it’s left to E-Double himself Exposition Excalibur to explain everything during the main event like he’s explaining the King Of The Mountain match.
This is where an on-screen representative of the management would have been handy. Doesn’t have to be Khan, in fact it probably shouldn’t be, but just someone that can be there when these situations arise so it’s not up to the commentary team (and by that, it’s usually just Excalibur or Schiavone) to connect the dots all the time when they’re trying to do their own jobs.

He’s No. 4 in the rankings on their website. Wardlow - has only been an "official member of the roster" since Sunday Cole - is apparently injured Hangman - has a rematch clause, but isn't the number one contender Take it up with AEW. It’s their rankings on their website. www.allelitewrestling.com/post/official-aew-rankings-as-of-wednesday-june-1-2022If AEW thinks being on the roster for less than a week makes him No. 1, that’s their business. But if they’re going to issue those rankings, seems like they’d need to stick to them. Or let the contenders be in the battle royal and the only active belt holder, Scorpio Sky, get the ‘bye’ to face the winner. I wouldn’t have made Wardlow No. 1. But it’s absolutely stupid to have actual rankings and play them up all the time and then in a situation like this have the No. 4 leapfrog the rest and get to sit out the battle royal to face the winner.

Man. What awful timing. Hope he’ll be alright. Massive hit but it’s room for a lot of people to step up.
