Punk, even though I'd rather it be Kingston.

Okay, I'm changing my pick.
I want Eddie to win it off Max and THEN I want the Real John Cena to beat Eddie for the title in 30 seconds.

It won't be Eddie but it should be Eddie. It will be Eddie but it shouldn't be Eddie. |

In a world where Tony doesn’t have his head up his ass it would be any of Eddie, Omega or Hangman.
Unfortunately we live in a world where Tony very much has his head up his ass so it’ll be Mr. FOLKS, HE’S CONTROVERSIAL BUT YOU CAN’T DENY HE GETS A REACTION-

Honestly I'm kind of thinking Darby just because they kind of seemed to be setting up returning to their singles feud as part of that four way one then quietly cooled off on it, feels like a saving-it-for-later thing.
Though really I just wish this title reign would freaking end already.

Needs to be Omega or Hangman.
Jay White will make a great heel champ but feels too soon for him.
Cole is really interesting with all that’s going on. I don’t think he will but with the current story they can make it work.
But sadly I have to agree with most, it will be Cena. Which is worst case scenario for me as a fan of this company.

My sarcasm and thoughts about Punk aside, I think it should be Hangman.
I think he's the most over babyface, and there was a lot of juice left in his title reign.
I also would love to see Page/Omega II where they're both faces and they have a "Beat the shit out of each other in a friendly competition" sort of way.

Hank Scorpio
He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

It won't be, but I so wish it could be Eddie Kingston, right off the G1, winning the title at Grand Slam. Give the man his flowers.

I think this is one of the first times there hasn't been an obvious candidate. There are a few guys who could drop into a world title angle tomorrow and seem like legit challengers but there aren't really any first-time champs in waiting that seem obvious.
Eddie would be a great short-term champion though. He really doesn't need to hold the title long at all as it would be completely in his character to finally climb to the top of the mountain only to self-sabotage with doubts and lose the belt almost immediately. With Eddie, the story is about him winning the belt and not about him keeping it.

All of those choices that aren't CM Cena would be fine by me. Unfortunately it'll be CM Cena

I'd rather it not be Punk, but I wouldn't hate it if he were a heel. The heat makes itself. I just don't want it to be Eddie. Ideally, Omega or Darby.

Part of me feels like it'll be Swerve, somehow, even if he's not in that position right at this moment.
I voted Kingston, but only because I just have difficulty picturing them giving Punk the world title after how he's gotten injured and derailed shit multiple times, even beyond his behavioral problems.

Why isn't Mason Ryan an option on this poll?

Dude's been back for like a month and a half, we have no clue where he's taking his storylines and he's acting way more like a jackass to crowds than Cena ever did. Cena also ignored a lot of heat, Punk isn't, he seems to be enjoying it. And maybe in the end this is exactly what Punk wants or knows what he's going to get. When he starts beating everyone on the roster definitively and becomes a 15 time AEW Champion I'll call him Cena  |

Unfortunately we live in a world where Tony very much has his head up his ass so it’ll be Mr. FOLKS, HE’S CONTROVERSIAL BUT YOU CAN’T DENY HE GETS A REACTION- Punk's still a decent draw, he's proving it on Collision with the Starks feud numbers, he still moves merch as a top seller, and hate him all you want, people would want to see this feud just like they wanted to see part one of it which people consider a classic. Acting like it'd happen because "Tony has his head up his ass" at this point to me is just hating Punk for the sake of it, and hate the guy all you want, it's justifiable, but Punk's proven since coming back he can still do this, it's why he's still here, better or worse All this to say I voted Kingston btw, but I GET if it's Punk, AEW doesn't let threads hang and if you think Tony's just gonna forget about the MJF/Punk confrontation pre-scrumgate then idk, I expect it to be a top option if they build up to it correctly, though I would think it'd happen at All Out. |

I just don't care for "CM Cena" for two reasons.
1. I get the sentiment, but the reasons for the mixed reactions are super different. I also feel like Cena never got as mean-spirited about it. I guess it's never going to be a 1:1, but it still feels like a clunky comparison.
2. "Ce-Na Punk" is just a better way of doing the same joke.
