What do you think is next for these 2? I think MJF needs to win the TNT title before he wins the world title so he at some point has to beat Wardlow, but Wardlow also has to beat him. I think MJF should beat him at DON for the title, Wardlow wins it back and wins the fued or they give it back to MJF for a third match and Eddie Kingston beats him

I think MJF screws Wardlow out of the TNT Championship and they spin off to a non-title feud.

Wardlow just needs to kill MJF Batista to Triple H style.
It doesn’t not need to have a belt involved.

Let's see if I can do something with this...
(we're going to ignore the Sammy-Tay angle I just booked in the TayJay thread, since that's not what would actually happen in 2022)
On Dynamite, Sky wins the TNT Title. Meanwhile, MJF ordered Spears to be flogged for allowing Wardlow to betray him (because accountabilibuddies). At St. Patrick's Day Slam, Wardlow is winning against Scorpio, but then the Pinnacle, including Spears, come out. Wardlow starts the Powerbomb Symphony, but MJF gets on the mic and reminds Wardlow that he controls his contract. He orders him to lay down for Scorpio right now, or he's fired. Wardlow is defiant at first, until MJF shows a picture of Wardlow's family and makes the stakes real. Wardlow reluctantly lays down and Sky wins. MJF then explains that since Wardlow isn't contracted to AEW, MJF is actually the Face of the Revolution, and he goes on to defeat Sky right then and there for the title.
Over the spring and summer, MJF uses and abuses Wardlow like never before, until a match is announced for Fight for the Fallen. The first-ever "In Your Dreams" battle royal. The winner will have one wish granted to them by Tony Khan. Wardlow enters this match and wins. MJF tries to claim the wish for himself, but Khan finally steps in, saying Wardlow earned it himself. Wardlow wishes for, and is given, an AEW contract. Wardlow then defeats MJF at All Out for the TNT Title, but MJF goes on to end Hangman's reign at Winter is Coming (after winning the Eliminator Tournament at Full Gear). Wardlow has a great title reign, before dropping the title to Spears, then goes on to unseat MJF at All Out 2023.

I think we're going to get Max either demanding the title shot or the title when Wardlow wins it as punishment for the end to the Dog Collar match. From there I think Max ends up with the title but Wardlow his freedom and the chase starts.

We also have to remember, MJF’s lawyer is Mark “My client can be attacked 48 hours before a PPV” Sterling so there’s probably a loophole in his contract that his buyout is, like, a dollar and can only be paid by Tony Khan and nobody’s realized it yet.

Since an often featured and highy hyped talent like Wardlow not having a AEW contract by now is one of the dumbest bookings ever, I just want him to sign one behind MJF's back and reveal it when MJF has nowhere to run. I want to see MJF instantly try to suck up to him to no avail.

I think there's enough plausible deniability in Wardlow handing the ring to Punk to get another couple of weeks out of it before the actual split with MJF happens. My guess is that Wardlow wins the TNT title, MJF goes back on his word and asks Wardlow to hand it over. Wardlow refuses, MJF tries to punk him out again, and gets laid out with a powerbomb symphony. There'll be some get-out with the contract that leads to the 'Wardlow is All Elite' graphic. Maybe Wardlow has to wrestle for his freedom from it by going through the entire Pinnacle, ending with MJF, or something.

Who’s to say Wardlow didn’t already sign with AEW without MJF knowing and that’s why he was more than willing to f*** him over.

He could've very well spoken to TK between Dynamite and Revolution about signing officially and they'll reveal it on Dynamite, when MJF is tearing Wardlow a new one. The only part I'd be conflicted on is that MJF taking the TNT Title after Wardlow did all the work would be a cool story to tell.

I think MJF screws Wardlow out of the TNT Championship and they spin off to a non-title feud. Yeah I think this is what it'll be. MJF is basically a title in his own right now, and you can draw with him on his own without a belt. And there's so few champions around so far that it's kind of a waste of the MJF/Wardlow angle or the TNT title to actually involve one with the other.

Same, MJF screws Wardlow out of the TNT title as a "receipt" for what happeed at the PPV, and we go from there.

My question is… OK, let’s assume he does the honours for Wardlow at the end of all this. This could be two straight feuds that MJF has lost if we go into this directly after the one with Punk. Do you then pair off MJF with another babyface that can afford the loss to get a recent feud win behind him before he goes after Hangman for the world title, or do you put him straight into that feud?

I think MJF demands that Wardlow hand over the title shot as a sign of loyalty, Wardlow refuses and MJF/Spears costs him the TNT title shot next week.

I want MJF to fire Wardlow in the ring and just as he's about to rip Max's arms off, MJF reminds him that he's currently trespassing, and striking him would be assault.
Just then a delivery guy comes out with a package that's suspicially folding chair shaped and a clipboard. "Delivery for Mr Wardlow! Please sign here!"
Wardlow opens the package, and sure enough it's a chair. Max is incredulous "Who would send you a chair? Why? And more importantly... Why are you still here?"
Just then Punk takes off his disguise, and turns the clipboard to Max and the fans, showing its AEW letterhead...

MJF can take two losing feuds in a row, especially because he "beat CM Punk Twice" he can say he is 2-1 against punk. but yeh after the Wardlow feud he would need to go on a hot streak

I feel like, due to his winning the first section of the Punk feud, it wouldn't be so bad, but yeah, he'd probably beat a face after. Maybe a mini feud with Eddie Kingston, with FTR and Santana/Ortiz at the same time.

MJF is in that category where he doesn't really need a world title to stay over and can lose feuds to stay over because people want him to lose so badly. Though I always thought the whole "MJF is the one to take the world title off Hangman" narrative was premature anyway.
