Well the card just got even better with the other matches too. Christian replacing Fox. It cant actually be happening can it? Wembley Stadium's structural integrity is going to be tested.

Good news for Australia (despite the timezone difference)… Show will be aired on ESPN live, which usually means that it’ll be available on-demand on the services that carry it like Kayo, at no extra charge.

Good choice! Leaving this match off to "save it for All Out" would have been a waste. This is shaping up to be the first PPV pre-show I've watched in at least 12 months and the first one I've been psyched for in ages.

48 hours away.
I'm not sure what it is but I'm just not hyped for this at all. I'm mostly filled with dread about trying to leave Wembley Way at the end.

I could be way off but I feel like there have been deliberate references to Austin before Mania 17 in some of Cole's promos, so I feel like Cole and Strong are in cahoots and Cole is about to betray MJF and win the title. Then there's a rematch at All Out

Yep, I think Cole is definitely winning.
Though, I think the turn will happen after the match. We will get the Wrestlemania VI Hogan/Warrior hug/hand raising then Cole simply low blows MJF.
I think AEW will want both reactions at Wembley. The feel good reaction as well as the ultimate betrayal.

They laid it on thick last night, to the point that I think Cole's ultimate plan is to outsmart MJF by building the OG Kingdom back and adding Strong. MJF can slide into that Piper role where he can still be an asshole but people love him. Cole can lead a faction as they originally intended before the issues with Fish and KOR.

I definetly think with back to back ppvs there is an option to hot shot a title. Have someone lose, only to win it back in a rematch at All Out.
Cole and MJF it could happen. Maybe even Punk and Joe. Have Punk take title back off Joe in Chicago. If Joe is losing again at Wembley then he looks like a proper dweeb really.

I think the story of the match is going to be MJF automatically going to his asshole heel tactics only to stop himself. Cole will go the other way where he is going to be fair and then changes his mind.
For example, MJF will grab the belt and throw it away instead of hitting Cole. Cole will walk past the belt, reconsider, and pick it up.
Whether Cole will go through with it or not is something I'm more torn on. As much as I love them together (and they're money), seeing MJF try to process being screwed over would be interesting. MJF turning is the dullest of all the options.

Wardlow might get into this….power slam MJF 3 times and leave him laying for Cole to pin and take title.
