What AEW storylines were dropped or never spoken of again?
Anyone remember when Arn Anderson sucker punched Orange Cassidy to help Cody win the match and never mentioned after that
Cody and Pentagon appearing to have a feud which only lasted like 2 weeks
Shawn Spears getting a tag team partner
Kazarian as the Elite hunter

They seem to have started building up Wardlow to turn face only to forget about it like three times now.

I think it’s implied that it was The Good Brothers who beat him up. Ir maybe KENTA. I they both arrived after he was attacked. But they really outright said it was either of them. So I just connect the dots and assume it was The Good Brothers.

How long did they spend having Lance Archer show up during Darby segments to dramatically stare down Sting and demand a real challenge? Felt like it went on for months.

Tying into that, MotY's entire reason for attacking Darby seemed to be wanting the TNT title, except then he lost it to Miro and they just kind of forgot about the belt and kept f***ing with Darby instead.

Anyone remember when Arn Anderson sucker punched Orange Cassidy to help Cody win the match and never mentioned after that Cody and Pentagon appearing to have a feud which only lasted like 2 weeks Shawn Spears getting a tag team partner Kazarian as the Elite hunter 1. I think the intention with the Cody-OC matches was to make OC more "serious", and punching him would have played into it. I dont think they explored it any further. 2. The Cody-Penta thing was to have Cody kayfabe hurt and put off TV for a while. Everyone agrees he should have taken the pin, but it was supposed to make Penta look strong by taking out Cody. 3. I think they dropped it because Covid started? Maybe? 4. Kazarian's gimmick died when Gallows beat him. People didn't take it seriously after that, and the gimmick was dropped. Elite are changing as well, so Kaz will move into the Matt Sydal world.

The Cody/OC angle was a dumb decision and I think Tony Khan realized it. They wanted to put the TNT title Darby (fair) and give him his big moment on PPv (also fair). However they were building a small feud where Vody couldn't best OC clean so the story had to be dropped because it makes it impossible for Orange not to win the title and also makes Darby's win mean less.
The Spears tag angle was a good shot but I think that was a combo of the pandemic and Joey Janela getting heat for being... well being Joey. That angle was clearly being built for Joey and Spears to team up.
Speaking of Janela his angle with Kip was also dropped around the same time.
You also saw ATT and Men of thr Year start their alliance by attacking Lance Archer but then transitioning away to Inner Circle right away so they could so Suzuki-Gun vs Mox/King.

I feel a lot of angles or directions also changed silently cause of talent doing stupid stuff.
I mentioned Joey Janela. Not a bad guy but tends to make himself look like an idiot on social media in an antagonistic way. Rather than bury him it seems they just stop his push and have him do Dark and Elevation.
I think a similar thing happened with Brian Cage in the Team Taz feud
