Scorpio could be a just-about-instant main eventer if they just let him go all the way as a face. He gets the most tractions as a face and people really like him and want to cheer him. It's the sudden abrupt heel turns that have hurt his momentum/performance.

It's the sudden abrupt heel turns that have hurt his momentum/performance. I also think he's one of those people, like Britt Baker during her world title reign and Jay Lethal currently, who is disproportionately disliked on FAN than by the audience at large. I am in the minority, but I also think Scorpio has all the tools to be a top of the card face, and has shown glimpses of that in the past. The only knock against him is that he's 40, so the window to establish him at the top of the card is rapidly closing.

I really dont know how people see Scorpio as a possible top talent, he cant speak, he isnt exactly charismatic or wholesome, he can wrestle but not better than most of the roster.

Hugely agreed because I remember the like 2 weeks that Men Of The Year turned face was pretty much defined by Scorpio finally getting the babyface reactions that it seemed like AEW spent years wanting for him but then dude just turned again, got way worse music on top of that, and went down with an injury like right after.

I just don’t get it with Scorpio, nothing about him has ever screamed main event. Ricky, Swerve, Lee? Hell yeah. But Scorpio is not on that level.

Make it happen AEW I think they are, I think this is the time Because it also would transition perfectly for Keith Lee or even Darby Allin feuds for the title. Could even defend it against Dustin

This is, in my opinion, the PERFECT time to make the switch. Swerve's hot, OC has had a long, great reign, but there's not much more he can do with the belt. He's over enough that he doesn't need it for Wembley.
It's Swerve's time. You can run Lee or Dustin or whoever Prince Nana has his eyes on vs Swerve for the gold.

Could even defend it against Dustin It's an open secret that Swerve is fighting Nick Wayne on the first Dynamite after Nick turns 18 which is the July 12 Dynamite. Swerve being champ would be a good entry

The only thing is I can see them wanting OC to defend the title at Forbidden Door.
Otherwise I agree, Swerve is a good choice to take it.

Someone on twitter mentioned they should book a fatal 4 way match for the title as a way to celebrate the titles anniversary(Swerve defending it against OC, Keith Lee and a New Japan guy).

Scorpio would usher in a new boom period if he went back to his Wrestling Society X gimmick of carrying his school accomplishments around.

KAUN has a money look Don't know why he hasn't gotten more time He main evented a Rampage vs Dustin and it was a good match, Dustin gave him a lot, even bled for him Toa's f***ing special though, as I said in the live thread he's what Trench and Parker were supposed to be, but with one dude, and he does it all and does it better. Was perfect giving him Darby and Orange where the whole story revolved around "We could realistically beat Kaun but we have to keep this big monster f***ing down and out of the ring oh my god" and it was really fun to watch

Keith Lee does absolutely nothing for me and never has, so I'd be quite happy for them to drop the Lee/Swerve thing and move Swerve on to bigger and better things. Swerve just has IT in spades.
