I mean, again, I’m not going to fully believe a guy whose a) has a history of lying or exaggerating things and b) has an eye on a WWE partnership in such a blatant way, he’d likely appear on Retro Raw as Max Moon at this point. And for all the talk of the tag match…it also wasn’t like they hadn’t had opportunities to book the match beforehand in the same way, looking at recent Rey Fenix matches in Mexico and AAA, that they could have booked him to lose the belt he has. There’s too much precedence in recent AAA history for me to go “Ahh yes, THIS was the time they got screwed over here!” AAA is so slapdash that it wouldn't even matter if it was Konnan in charge. This is a company who, after booking Dragon Gate's SB KENTo, looked up "Japanese wrestler Kento" for pictures to use in advertising only to end up using graphics for.....All Japan Pro Wrestling's Kento Miyahara. THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET THE RIGHT PICTURES FOR A WRESTLER THEY BOOKED!

This is shitty if true but Konnan's relationship with the truth is strained to say the least. Given his track record I expect that we're going to har Tony's side of the story sooner rather than later since he can't take anything sitting down.

I just picture JR doing his "Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!" thing, only now with a tone of resigned disappointment. I literally did just that when I read the tweets lol

I literally did just that when I read the tweets lol Tony Khan also sighs, but then rewards him yet again by booking him in main events, and even possibly winning the TNT title again in coming future

If I'm reading it right Sammy and Tay were only booked for the show that Tay couldn't make cause if the visa issue no? It sounds more like AAA said we will have you do it this date but she was booked by AEW

AAA booking a title change on a sparsely attended Wednesday show when that's literally the one day a week AEW runs just feels like they're asking for a conflict to come up.

Welcome to Mexican wrestling. Where the most dominant champions in history are El Santo and Vacant. You thought Vacant was dominant in WWE? Wait til you see how he does in Mexico! I thought "In Abeyance" was the dominant force in WWE as opposed to Vacant?
