Cody can no longer challenge for the AEW World Title but The Midnight Rider can... In a twist to the concept, that turns out to be Ric Flair. The Black Scorpion, however...

I just hope it gets there sooner than September? As it is I find both Kenny and Hangman incredibly hard to care about because the destination's so obvious that the journey just feels tedious. I... OK, you have a right to your taste, obviously. I'm not saying otherwise. But I am... incredibly confused as to why you and so many other people think that storylines being "predictable" is automatically bad? All a "predictable" storyline means is that its the logical, straightforward choice for the story. Writing something that makes sense to happen isn't bad writing. Also, twists for twist sake absolutely suck for me, almost always, and have destroyed a lot of otherwise good stories. While twists can certainly be done well and make for compelling stories, the idea that a story should be either changed or rushed just because smart fans see the result coming is completely alien to me. As a writer, the idea that I should adjust my story if my readers see the outcome coming is... extremely annoying. I mean, I guess only slightly less than a year is a long time. But a lot of interesting stuff can happen in the interim with both Omega and Page's interim stories. I see no reason to rush it. It's not that I think predictability is an inherently bad thing in all forms, but this storyline has basically been going on for over a year and a half at this point and still shows zero sign of wrapping up. I'm just exhausted with it. It doesn't help that I'm entirely of the opinion that if you have 104 hours of content a year and you can't tell your complete storyline start to finish within that period of time, or hopefully much quicker, then you are terrible at pacing a story. Additionally it speaks to a broader problem AEW seems to have where unless they absolutely have to plans do not shift, when I feel like wrestling is a lot more interesting when it's relatively loose. Hangman is already one of the most over guys in the company and has been for a long while - the only reason to drag this out all the way to All Out is, "But that's the plan, the plan can't change!" If it works for you, wonderful, but for me it's just kind of, "It'd be nice to have some chance that Kenny's match against whoever will actually amount to anything but instead, no, this is all filler." Really the only differences between this and the year of, "Hey, by the way, don't figure that we're doing Brock / Roman again, but it's not official yet," are that I can't imagine AEW will botch the landing that hard and people actually give a shit about Hangman. Still makes for boring television getting there.
