I was thinking about Cody’s announcement for next week, and also thinking about the ranking system being voided when they just have a custerf*** ladder match or battle Royal for number one contender. Then it dawned on me that none of these matches paid off in the end. Of course the first two were wildcards into crowning a championship (Omega vs. Jericho and Shida vs. Riho pretty much #1 vs. #2 and lead to the eventual winner.) I’m not asking winning Royal Rumble into wrestlemania booking (not like winning the rumble means much anymore) but it would be nice if one of these things had a decent payoff, instead of feeling like ppv filler. Anyways here’s the list..
Casino Battle Royal - Page - Lost
Casino Battle Royal - Nya Rose - Lost
Casino Ladder Match - Brian Cage - Lost
Casino Battle Royal - Lance Archer - Lost
Battle Royal for title match at Revolution- MJF & Jericho - Lost
Face of the Revolution Ladder match - Scorpio Sky - Lost
I still feel I’m forgetting another match, I swear Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus won a Battleroyal only to lose to The champs the bucks the next week. I’m not crazy am I?

They don't really do title changes much. I think it's fine to have these kind of matches to showcase a lot of people, even if they know the title isn't changing hands.

To be fair, how many title changes has AEW even had as a whole? Three Women's Champs, Four Tag Champs, Three TNT Champs? Three World Champs?
The titles haven't changed hands a lot period, though it also helps the company is still very young.

Broken record time, I think that this is also where some of the New Japan influence comes in where someone winning the qualifier is supposed to be the part that gets you over

I like it.
AEW does so few title changes that when they happen they are a big deal. I can sit here and name every champion of AEW since the start right off the top of my head. I can't even name everyone holding a WWE title right now, let alone everyone who has held them in the last two years.

SCU will most likely lose to the Young Cucks.

People have to lose for other People to be champions. The reason other promotions' gimmick #1 contenders win more is they switch their titles more.
AEW has had like two title changes ever for all their belts combined.
I vastly prefer this to WWE squirting meaningless title padding all over everyone so that nobody matters.
