Well that was probably the quickest stable addition and removal in AEW yet.
Could all be a work in the end, but still.

What an absolute waste. Mogul Embassy has gone from having a new edge and more direction with some of the best segments in recent memory to being Brian Cage as a heavy again.

It sounds like taking AR Fox out of the Wembley match couldn't be helped (and Christian is a very good replacement)
I wish they hadn't kicked him out of the stable though. Of all the different wrestlers that have been put with Swerve, AR Fox was the that worked the best, IMO.

Shame because they were starting to click as a stable.

I honestly think Fox will turn back... he'll do something even worse to try and get back into Swerve's demented good graces, is my thought

One travel issue for one show and they threw away a massive part of what was helping bring Mogul Embassy and Swerve's push into focus. Insane to me. This is the company that kept an undefeated streak going for an extra nine months to make sure one single person was the one to break it, how is this the time they overcompensate and get out of the corner they booked themselves into with a rocket launcher?

I’m soooooooo bummed out about it but I’m gonna cope about it and delude myself into thinking this is just a short swerve and Fox is back in a few weeks.
They can’t end it this quick, it was so good…

I'd bet this was the result of them not wanting to run the same angle twice, with Fenix and Fox both being out of All In.

If this continues after All In, I see where you're coming from, but I remember Dante Martin with Team Taz and Luchasaurus with Christian I think there's a big chance here AR Fox screws them for letting him back in so easily.

I both loved and hated that.
Loved because it made Swerve look like such a psychopath that he'll kick a guy he's teaming with at a PPV to the curb over one loss.
Hated because it made Darby the most stupidly forgiving member of a team with STING in it.

Repost from the live thread:
It's possible Fox is playing the long con by rejoining Darby's crew and giving up Wembley as his way of showing loyalty to Swerve.
Or the visa issue is not confirmed and he's missing Wembley because of injury/personal reasons and he will be off TV for a while in which case kicking him out of the ME makes sense.

I hope it’s just temporary. Seems like a pretty dumb move if not, honestly.

Would not surprise me if he is immediately put back in by revealing it was all a swerve...I mean didn't Nana himself say this was a test for Fox so this might just be part of that...to get Darby to really trust him and then drop the preverbial hammer on him.
I don't have an issue with it either way because either Fox stays with embassy or I get he and Swerve full blown feud.

I think it was pretty interesting that Fox didn't seem too bent out of shape about it when Darby accepted him back, and that he wasn't dead from the Drill Claw I really think Swerve's playing a con

Conversation we didn't get to see: Christian asking Swerve "What's this guy's dad situation, this Fox guy?"

I like how Darby instantly forgave Fox as it shows Sting really has been mentoring him.
