Cole, Eddie, Jericho or Christian are my guesses to win the battle royale. But Moxley has to win cause the tanahashi match has to be a high profile match.

Jericho jumping the gun twice and saying he’s relinquishing didn’t help matters.

It seems obvious Mox is winning, so I kinda hope they have a young guy like Starks, Allin, Guevara, etc win the battle royal. Could really help elevate someone being in that spot.

I wish he would of just relinquish the title. I think the interim champion thing is stupid. Since we're going to have an interim champion, I'd put the title on Wardlow. Strike while the iron is hot. They're not having a Wardlow/Tanahashi main event

So the battle royal winner will face Moxley, and the winner of they match faces Tanahashi.
I’m confused because Tana was never mentioned by name in Excalibur’s beyond parody rundown.

WHO'S HYPE FOR THIS INTERIM CHAMP SERIES The BFG Series could've been something great. Also I've just been told that the AEW World Title match at Forbidden Door is now under King of The Mountain rules.

MJF is so winning this. Him trying to get fired AS champ and Punk having to return from injury to try and save AEW in Chicago is money, IMO.

They might change who fights for the belt then? That'd be intriguing because I wonder if it's because AEW would consider giving it to a New Japan guy?

I also think a really big possible dark horse in this Battle Royale is Konosuke Takeshita
Like I know he's pretty new but he's won the crowd over, looks like a star, and boy would it be something if we saw DDT represented by AEW vs NJPW...
Probably not gonna be him but Konosuke would be one to watch as a surprise final entrant in this thing.

Take it up with AEW. It’s their rankings on their website. www.allelitewrestling.com/post/official-aew-rankings-as-of-wednesday-june-1-2022If AEW thinks being on the roster for less than a week makes him No. 1, that’s their business. But if they’re going to issue those rankings, seems like they’d need to stick to them. Or let the contenders be in the battle royal and the only active belt holder, Scorpio Sky, get the ‘bye’ to face the winner. I wouldn’t have made Wardlow No. 1. But it’s absolutely stupid to have actual rankings and play them up all the time and then in a situation like this have the No. 4 leapfrog the rest and get to sit out the battle royal to face the winner. The rankings change over every week, Mox beat Garcia, that probably put him at one but they announced it early Either way nitpicking the rankings after a situation like this, as others said, doesn't feel like necessarily the most important thing in the world. Punk is going to be back. He said so. His career isn’t over. It’s sad that he got hurt but talking about the process of naming the interim champion — a process AEW announced — is worthy of discussion. If you’d rather, we can start a separate thread on that but it’s already being discussed here. They said Mox is the No. 1 contender. Their own website says Wardlow is the No. 1 contender. That’s a contradiction. They obviously just junked their ratings because they want Mox in the main event. Which is their prerogative but don’t ever tell the world that those ratings mean anything if they don’t mean anything in a situation like this. Mox won a match over an unranked opponent and Wardlow also won a match over an unranked opponent. There’s no way you jump to No. 1 over three other guys by beating Garcia without those guys losing since the last rankings came out. That’s ludicrous. Isn’t it also his only singles win since April? And his second since March. It’s June now. There’s a reason they put Wardlow at the top — look at the gauntlet he had to go through, culminating with a win over MJF in devastating fashion. In the five days since Wardlow’s coronation, his shining moment, he’s been relegated to a comedy act while the guy he squashed got the spotlight and completely no-sold the beating (I’m hurting, no reference to the match but skips away out of the ring without even a hitch in his step, no indication of being stretchered out, fresh as a daisy); then he loses his No. 1 contenders spot because Mox won one match over a midcarder. That’s crap. The ratings mean nothing and they’ve basically shoved Wardlow to the side after the end of a 2 1/2-year angle to make him. If they didn’t want him in the top position, they shouldn’t have made him No. 1 just to take it away. They could have just had everyone in the battle royal. Or had everyone in the battle royal and the final two have a singles match. Or they could have made Wardlow and Mox the two top available contenders, elevated Mox to No. 2 and NOT had a battle royal and let Wardlow be in a main event eliminator for a shot at the title. What a waste.

I do wonder how this changes the MJF angle, as the popular theory was Punk turning heel for MJF. Absolute bummer news, though. And just about the worst timing. Get better, Punk.

They updated the rankings as soon as the show ended, is that enough for you? He beat Garcia in the main event of Dynamite, that was enough to get him to one. I told you this is how they work and that's how it would be lol

I told you this is how they work and that's how it would be lol OK so a guy who has won exactly one match since April, against a midcarder, vaults over three people for No. 4 to No. 1 and the No. 1 contender loses his spot despite winning his match. That makes no sense whatsoever. You know it and everyone knows it. Please link me to comments after Mox’s match where you or anyone else said, ‘Hmm, that should move him to the top of the contenders list, that’s a major victory.’ Didn’t happen. They manipulated their rankings AFTER they announced the match because a ton of people pointed out that the guy they called the No. 1 contender was actually No. 4. Who knows, maybe tomorrow we’ll wake up and they’ll have Peter Avalon at No. 1 and announce a new main event for Dynamite with him facing the battle royal winner. This is a complete joke. Way to screw over Wardlow after spending 2 1/2 years building to making him. Please hold yourself to this standard and criticize AEW the next time the No. 4 guy wins a match against a midcarder and doesn’t become the new No. 1. EDIT: If Hobbs and Starks or Toni Storm win a match and don’t become No. 1 in their divisions, remind me again how it works. Oh, and I just looked it up: Garcia has four singles wins in 2002 lol. I guess Wardlow should demand a match with him and get a title shot if he wins.

I'm at the point where I'd take Pillman Jr. as champ over MJF, just because I'm that sick of worked shoots.

MJF should be the next champ but him vs Tanahashi makes no sense so it won’t happen.

Have Mox win the interm championship and then cheat to bear Punk to win the title from him and go heel. Eddie can have a quick upset over Mox at grand slam or full gear and then Mox wins it back and goes on a tear
