I kinda like the story they told with the match. Sammy was burned out. He had wrestled too much and put his body through hell and it cost him. And you don’t hurt Scorpio at all by this because he beat him clean as a sheet. You gave Sammy an out, but not in a way to make Scorpio look weak. That is one thing I wish played more into wrestling overall.(Bryan even used it as an excuse of why he didnt beat Hangman). People SHOULD have wear and tear.

First and only time I will cheer for Scorpio Sky. Very happy to get the belt off Sammy.

...what if Scorpio "favorite Yakuza character is Saejima" Sky ends up being the first triple crown champion in AEW? There's only one belt left.

Agreed and it’s something that makes wrestling seem more like a professional sport. It’s like if you’re an NBA team in the second game of a back-to-back. It doesn’t matter if you’re a contender or gonna be in the lottery, when you’re gassed, you’re gassed and it’s going to take a toll.

Scorpio is gonna rename that belt the EA Championship and charge microtransactions to face him This would be amazing and would make me 1000% more interested in the man.

I'm not mad, I still like Scorpio.
Guy's not in my top five or anything, but he's got some Bret Hart flavored technical goodness in his moveset, and I always mark for that style.

I'd call the match not exactly clean due to the distraction on the outside being a major fact in Sammy losing, but yeah, Scorpio doesn't look like they had to do it for him. That said, wouldn't be shocked if he lays out Ethan Page on the outside during the Wardlow defense to inhibit him cheating and gets one over on him in return, turnabout being fair play.

I agree with this PLUS: 1) it plants the seed for making whoever eventually gets 10 successful TNT title defenses a big deal 2) it elevates the importance of wins and rankings and adds to the "anyone in a title match has a chance at winning the belt" element

Also, I like Scorpio but GREATLY prefer him as a face, and Ethan Page is just on the cusp of becoming full fledged unhinged heel, so him turning on Scorpio would play better to both of their strengths and I'd imagine raise both of their standings with the audience.

Should have been Ethan page If this is to get the belt to Wardlow, they made the right call. You don't have Ethan Page be a transitional champion.

I think the guy's a phenomenal talent, especially for someone so young, but Sammy's self-own was hilarious. What a goober.

I like Scorpio and have never understood the hate he gets here; he's good at pretty much everything, even his promos have been good lately. Glad to see him get the win even though it's extremely likely he dies to Wardlow next week, although the match itself could've been a lot better.
