Tonight with OC would've been pretty jarring regardless, but it's made all the worse when they did the exact same thing last week with SCU. And it's been pretty perpetually a problem for them, like when they were doing a tournament to determine who'd challenge Jericho but only after several weeks of him going, "But I don't want to fight Moxley though," first. It's like they write title feuds in a logical order then keep mistakenly rearranging the pages or something, it's so weird.

Yeah, it's a very blunt form of foreshadowing that's falling flat right now. SCU would have been better served by beating a noteworthy team on Dynamite (preferably a team that was believable as a threat to retire them), then doing their challenge to the Bucks, then getting a video package this week about how storied they are as a major tag team and how big a deal it is that we might be seeing their last match next Wednesday. Having them call their shot then win a shmozz, despite having met the established kayfabe requirements to get their match, was just dull and felt like a waste of time.
And Pac/Orange really deserved a build on its own merits. Yeah, Omega vs. Orange is going to rock, but Pac and Orange have a whole thing? Pac was Orange's first singles opponent in AEW?! Pac and Orange are in the middle of a whole trios feud with each other that started with Pac defeating Orange?! This is a really great storytelling match on its own merits! Sell THAT instead of looking past it, because selling the story of Pac vs. Orange sells the story of Orange as a title challenger.

Maybe it will be a triple threat?

When it comes to OC being telegraphed I dont mind. OC was hugely over in that promo, and segment, and the crowd are hungry for it. PAC screwed Orange at Revolution last year, this is a big match to get Orange to the biggest match of his career.

Just a thought I had. People seem to hate how OC was "telegraphed", but AEW tries to not telegraph things. I mean, I thought it was going to be OC the second Hangman ate the pin. But then they introduce the concept of Pac, and I'm like hmmmmm?

Then again, any variation on these 3 working, whether it be a 3 way or singles will rule.

While I get the issue in general, I think it worked for Orange Cassidy. Yeah, you telegraphed it, but you built up the match really well in the process and built up excitement for OC and him winning. There’s only three more shows before the PPV and this was their first interaction. Good to start it up sooner rather than later.

And if by some chance he doesn’t win, you have something you can throw back to down the line. I mean, he will, but just saying it isn’t a super guarantee.

When I was watching it, I got the idea that this sets up a "You don't deserve this" angle. Even if he beats Pac, he still doesn't deserve it. Could they have saved the promo for after the Pac-OC match? Sure. But then that promo hits a little bit different if Omega had said "This is a joke, Pac is winning," and then he doesn't, and OC STILL doesn't deserve the shot. They could build on it weekly. OC has to beat a Good brother. Something like that.

Also I don't really understand how Hangman losing one match because of being attacked before the match started caused him to plummet four spots while PAC is in second place after doing f***-all.

PAC's been winning matches on the secondary shows, which does matter, especially when he's been doing so in decisive fashion What hurts Hangman is he also goes a full week without competing and might go another full week unless he also competes on the secondary shows. You can really creep up if you do that.

My big issue with SCU is that the stakes are really high for them. Either they win, or they are done, but it's still happening on free TV, likely to lead to an unranked team of singles guys in Mox and King getting a shot at the PPV, when the last PPV also had the Bucks defending against a thrown together singles team in MJF and Jericho.
When they have such an embarrassment of riches in the tag division, them constantly going to main event singles guys forming teams at the PPVs is WWE Tag Division booking and it just sucks.

Let Kaz go be a sidekick to Christian Cage while Daniels can go back around and join Dark Order
