If they wanted a shock title change they should of had Ethan Page win it from him, but then they had to add you can't be in Jericho's club if you lose stip.

I’m more curious about how Hook looked against a bigger opponent in Bear Bronson, tbh.

Wow, a legit swing and a miss by AEW here. Really doesn't do one of their pillars any favors to have one lose to someone the crowd is apathetic as hell to without even doing a proper storyline whatsoever during his title reign. Kind of makes him feel a bit unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

I'll pull the "wait and see" card here. AEW has earned it from me. I felt the same way most of you do now when Darby was pinned in the TNT tournament. But then Cody put him over on PPV and he's been set ever since. This is the second time Cody has pinned Sammy. I don't know how they'll get to the next step, but this likely isn't the end.

I'm all for Cody winning. Sammy's reign has been a bust and with Cody's weird character right now him doing one-off matches each week for the title lets him wrestle both heels and faces regularly without having to actually get into full on feuds that are muddled by his crowd reactions.

Also Leyla Hirsch needs to be on TV far more than she is. She’s so good and yet they barely use her on the main shows.

On one hand, Sammy has not had a very good run as TNT champ.
On the other hand, we’re also getting Hirsch/Statlander, so I’m very happy with that.

I’d like to think that, once AEW shows their hand with this angle, the ends would justify the means here, but the issue is that the means have been a bit Fireworks Factory for months now, which is seemingly 99% of the problem. I was at the "they need to show their hand soon" mindset about 2-3 months ago. At this point, I'm questioning if they even know what exactly their hand is yet. Feels like *something* of significance should have happened by now, but it's been a series of "Ok, THIS might be leading to something" moments

Nobody has won a title more than once in AEW apart from Cody, who's now a three time TNT champ.
Sammy's TNT title run has felt like a bit of an after thought on TV compared to how the other reigns have been handled. Sammy has had the matches and decent ratings, sure, but he's never felt like a focus as all the other champs have. Darby's reign started in a similar manner but picked up, and I thought beating Cody would be the thing to make Sammy's reign pick up too. Oh well.
I'm now at even more of a loss about where Cody's story is going. Everything in AEW follows a logical path, even when it's unexpected, but Cody really does exist in his own pocket universe that seems made up as he goes along.

Anyone know how the hook match went? All Meltzer said about it on the show today is that it was about 3:00, he won with Redrum and he was super over again.

"But you see Cody winning the title is for HEAT,even if he still plays the face!"
Yeh Cody can just f*** off at this point,I actually think he is a great performer but I'm over anything Cody
Current Cody vs Scorpio Sky ,I cant think of anything closer to a vacuum of interest in AEW

My only issue with Sammy's run is I felt he didn't have one good storyline for a title defense, although most of his defenses were Cena US Champion open challenge fun though. Being fair I can't remember the last time anyone had a good storyline as TNT Champion. ... I'm not entirely sure it's happened at all. It's not really a belt they get much use out of narratively. Miro had a pretty fun arc as champion and his feud with Kingston was pretty great. So was the Fuego mini-feud. Honestly Miro was a really good TNT Champion IMO
