Really sold the whole thing. Darby is going to die next week.

The only way I can see Darby retaining is if the match ends up in a draw(I doubt it)

I think they figured out if Darby is going to be teaming with Sting, he doesn't need a championship at the moment. So moving the title to Miro, frees him up to do Darby/Sting vs. Ego/Sky.

People been talking about Kip but he's out with surgery it seems like which is why he was written off

Darby’s been a great TNT champion, but I’m pretty excited for Miro to be the face of the network next week.

I'm imagining this match will basically be like the Liu Kang vs. Goro fight in the animated Mortal Kombat movie from this past year.
Assuming that Sting is Raiden in this case, Darby's just gonna have to hope that someone plays the Scorpion role in the scene.

With three title matches next week, you'd think they'd want to have ONE change hands, and this seems like the likely culprit. All the cards are stacked against Darby. He can then focus on Page and Sky with Sting. His recklessness would be a good thing to play off of with Sting since this cost him big time
As for Miro... imagine Miro vs Archer for the TNT Title at DoN? That match'd sell me by itself.

I just want to see Miro wrestle more. I hope they strap him up.

Honestly despite making a ton of sense for Darby to lose I still kind of expect him to win.

I think this could go either way. Darby's biggest matches are basically structured like a puzzle he has to think his way out of, and Miro presents quite a challenge. Miro's on fire, though, so he may be undeniable.

If you put it on Miro, who takes it off? Darby after he's out of the hospital? John Silver in a david and goliath story? OC, who never really got to beat Miro?
I just think this is going to be Nikita Koloff versus Ricky Morton in 86, with no Robert Gibson to save him. I'm looking forward to whatever happens.

I think Darby retains somehow, though.

If Miro wins, I think they've planted some seeds for PresTEN Vance to eventually win the title. He's got the whole 'hand picked successor to Brodie' thing, so I think they're eyeballing that. Hangman wouldn't a bad choice either.

Hangman beating Miro could be cool story, a big boost to Hangman's confidence and could put him in the belt collectors sights. You can imply that Kenny hasn't been going after the TNT belt because he wanted no part in Cody (as good as Kenny in the ring, and a better pure wrestler) Darby (who wants to wrestle a human car crash?) and Miro (who is Miro) but Hangman? Kenny owns Hangman.
I do have one concern if they put the title on Miro, and they're also planning to put the title on Britt along with the long title reigns AEW prefers... we could have a loong period where every champion is a heel. I think that could be a bit of a downer and turn some fans off.

Darby could potentially win it back, like Cody did with Brodie. Beyond that, though, 10 or Lance Archer would probably be solid choices.

Awesome promo. Very happy Miro distanced himself from Kip.

Perfect time to take the belt off of him. Then Darby and Sting can take on Ethan Page and Scorpio at Double or Nothing to get revenge and Miro can start a dominate reign.
Plus I think this would also free up Darby to be an eventual challenger to Kenny which would be a HUGE match in my opinion.
