You can't fool me, that has to be Bo Dallas.

In seriousness if it isn't Claudio I'll be shocked
Claudio vs ZSJ sells itself, but Claudio in Blood and Guts with Kingston? Oh my god YES PLEASE.

I feel like a mystery opponent angle is super not what this show needed, but hopefully it'll be a good one I guess?

Claudio would make a lot of sense. Has a history with everyone (aside from Wheeler) in the group. He's very technical. And has a not so great history with Eddie.

I can't see it being anybody else. The only other person I could see it being is Chris Hero, for the very same reasons listed above, but I'm way leaning Claudio as a long term investment.

It was a huge downer to have a friggin' mystery opponent, followed by the Bucks only announcing a fraction of the participants in their match, on top of the angle playing coy with the friggin' IWGP title match. The card looked much better by the end of the night, but geez, having one of the only one on one matches involve a mystery opponent on a card that only came together at the very end was a bad energy.

anybody but Claudio or maybe Hero would be a disappointment. I guess you COULD go Gresham form a technical standpoint but that'd go over like a wet fart

Danielson put them over with complete trust and "The best technical wrestler outside of him" and... I'd say Claudio can do that.

It being AEW vs. New Japan, the idea that the Danielson stand-in is some new debut guy is itself kind of really shaky ground. They can probably follow through with a good surprise and a good match, but on a card that's already been hacked up due to injury, it's really frustrating to be left with a bunch of question marks on a match graphic.

Yeah at the end the card looks pretty sound but getting here was absolutely abysmal and I do not see how it generated interest for people who aren't familiar with NJPW.

With that said it almost has to be Claudio though and I am super excited for him to get the props he deserves even if I am not going to pay for this PPV.

I want it to be Claudio badly enough that I'll be disappointed with anyone else.
I realize that'll be my fault and not AEW's, but still. The idea of it is just too perfect.

Eddie might just quit AEW if it's Claudio

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Man the internet would BURN...I almost want to see it because I am probably one of only a handful of people that Like nZo (Also glad he went to MLW and finally started getting back in the groove) but I have felt Claudio was underutilized for 2 decades now so I as well will be disappointed if it isn't him.

I guess you COULD go Gresham form a technical standpoint but that'd go over like a wet fart I like Gresham and I think he wouldn't have been a bad choice if they A. would just say ahead of time if they were using him, and B. wouldn't say he was a BCC member. Gresham wouldn't be a good fit for either criteria, least of all when Hero, Claudio, or maybe Gargano would make more sense for it.
