Come on guys. This tournament is quite simple: I miss LOLTNA. I remember them explaining some gimmick match and running down rules for a falls count anywhere … only to tell us during the match that it had to be won in the ring. And of course at least one No DQ match where the ref enforced rope breaks with a count.

It was supposed to be the Summer of Punk... well the third time. Seriously, bad luck for all parties involved. Hoping for a speedy recovery, and that Tony can spin this into a good storyline.

What's even the point of bringing in a top star like Vacant just to job him out?

WHO'S HYPE FOR THIS INTERIM CHAMP SERIES

The biggest thing that stood out to me (other than them clearly having no clue what the hell they're doing in the short term) was Punk only naming former WWE main eventers in who he thought was worthy for the belt. Huge change up from what he was doing when he got into the company, there's something there.

Why the hell couldn't they just vacant the title instead of making my brain hurt?

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. The rankings change over every week, Mox beat Garcia, that probably put him at one but they announced it early Either way nitpicking the rankings after a situation like this, as others said, doesn't feel like necessarily the most important thing in the world.

The confusion surrounding all of this tonight would be immediately remedied if they swerved and put the interim on Tanahashi

Alright, SO Dynamite's gonna open with a battle royal and the winner will face Jon Moxley in the main event. The winner of *that* match will face Hiroshi Tanahashi for the AEW Interim title? Wait I just processed that typing it out, Hiroshi Tanahashi winning the interim title would be a whole thing. I hope he does. That would be a very fascinating turn of events. Forbidden Door ends with Tanahashi playing air guitar on the interim title.

I'm not talking about Punk or any specific people, I mean the entire way they are going to crown a new champion. Bit too complex.

Eh, broken down it's pretty simple Battle Royale showcase, winner fights Moxley, winner of that faces Tana for the belt at Forbidden Door It's essentially a three match path to a title, depending on if the Battle Royale winner wins. I will admit the way they were explaining it made it seem way more complicated though but they were kind of trying to rush it out lol

I wish he would of just relinquish the title. I think the interim champion thing is stupid. Since we're going to have an interim champion, I'd put the title on Wardlow. Strike while the iron is hot.

It's something to connect it to a real sports feel I guess, a lot of UFC and Boxing champs do not relinquish their belts for injuries, so they do interim. The reigns are still recognized, but the Unification makes one true champion.\ I'd rather Punk have a shot to keep his reign and not have it end in a week if he's only out say a few months.

If we're tossing out some conspiracy theories Punk was wearing an all white shirt with nothing on it. Bryan usually wears that...
