Who Joins Team Taz Once Brian Cage Turns?

[toodarkmark]

It seems like Brian Cage is going to turn on Team Taz, so they might be room for someone to join Team Taz. They may just leave it at Starks, Hobbs and a non-wrestling Hook, but I think they have a third full timer. Who could it be? Here's some ideas, right or wrong.

Miro. I don't know if he needs to be with more people, or just be a loner, but I could easily see Taz managing him to World Title shots, and killing people with Starks and Hobbs. I could also see Cage-Miro being a rivalry that would work on Dyamite.

Ethan Page. I'm not sure how I feel about Ethan. AEW already has a top face named Page, Hangman. And Ethan really needs youtube to get over right now, because even seeing him do so well with The North in Impact, I find myself not caring about him at all. I am ready to wait, and Karate Man is fun, but if he's going to be a heel, then working off of Starks, Hobbs and Taz might be a good route. He's shown the ability to create interesting content, and Hobbs and Starks have both been funny on Sammy's vlog, so it might work. I also think Cody is close with Ethan, and they could continue the Cody-Taz feud with Ethan.

Joey Janella. Taz HATES Joey Janella. Janella has not gotten over at all in AEW. He teased a heel turn on Sonny, so that partnership might be ending soon. I could see a really interesting relationship between Taz and Janella. Lot's of tension, but somehow making things better. Just a thought I had.

Leyla Hirsch

Ryo Mizunami and KiLynn King, for me. Both of them would benefit from the general everything of Team Taz, whether that's the mouthpiece or just being in a posse with a lot of swagger and aggression.

I didn't include her because she's currently a face, and I think she should work on developing herself that way, and not turn heel right away.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I think it'll end up being Starks and Hobbs as a tag team for a bit w/Taz as the manager and Hook as the devious little shit that interferes on their behalf. Hobbs has been kind of lost in the shuffle and a pairing with Ricky would help, I think. I could see Leyla joining eventually but I don't see a third member that makes a ton of sense right now.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

I could see Ethan perhaps. But more than anything I think they just stick like this.

[markymark]

Maybe Jade can join?

What about turning Team Taz into the AEW version of the Hurt Business?

[RKTaker]

I don't thin anyone will think it's just gonna be Taz, Ricky, Hobbs, and Hook

[rnrk supports BLM]

They don't really need anybody else, Starks and Hobbs can work as a tag team with Hook as occasional backup.

AEW melding guys together into larger and larger factions is sorta becoming their thing, with MJF introducing his 5-man group to challenge Jericho's 5-man group right before the segment where Matt Hardy leads his own stable of tag teams into a 5 vs 5 match. The idea's probably to get more people on TV at once, but the more and bigger group acts they have, the more the guys in them fade into the background.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I agree I dont think anyone new joins right now, more I feel like Hook is gonna become an active wrestler soon and it'll still be a three man faction, but the focus is gonna shift more to Hobbs

[Glitch]

Somebody a bit smaller. I thought two giant hosses in the same stable didn't work.

Eh Hobbs started face and didn't stay that way long. Could see the same working with Leyla

Scorpio Sky. Tazz was always respectful of his ability and he lashed out at Darby so... Yeah.

Scorpio needs a manager as his mic skills are not his strong point and Tazz could fill that void.

Yeah, Sky makes sense since he's even explicitly stated before he wants him, on Dark commentary.

Barring him, I could see him keeping Hobbs and Starks as solo guys, but pick up someone like TNT, Devon's kids, as a team. They'd be a good fit for him as prospects, especially if they jumped Cage or messed up the Gunn Club since Taz has such a distaste for them and they love antagonizing Taz.

[Soultastic]

I don't think anyone else joins, i think Will Hobbs ascends.

[warden]

Nobody cause anyone willing would quickly come to the realization that this taz... He can't really lead all too well.

I mean, who else do you need? You got the promising young star talent, the muscle and the rookie.

I guess you could argue for Scorpio Sky as “the leader” type but good lord almighty, good luck with that one Taz.

I’d add Leyla before Sky, woof.

Yeah, I think everybody just kinda moves up.

Right now, you’ve got Cage and Starks as 1 and 1a, so Starks becomes the focal point, Hobbs is your hoss and Hook is your young guy.

I really don’t see the need to replace Cage because a combination of Starks and Hobbs does that already.

[toodarkmark]

I think Angelico should split with Jack Evans and join Team Taz. Taz is huge on him, and I'd be excited to see Stark, Angelico and Hobbs are a trio, with Taz pushing them.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

That's secondary.

The primary thing that needs to happen is let Hobbs kill him.
