Thought I'd make a thread now that we have two matches officially announced. The card in text and graphic form: Main Card: - AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. MJF - AEW Trios Championship: Death Triangle (c) vs. The Elite - AEW Interim Women's World Championship: Toni Storm (c) vs. Jamie Hayter - ROH World Championship: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Bryan Danielson - AEW World Tag Team Championship: The Acclaimed (c) vs. Swerve in our Glory - TNT Championship: Wardlow (c) vs. Samoa Joe vs. Powerhouse Hobbs - TBS Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Nyla Rose ("c") - Steel Cage: Jack Perry vs. Luchasaurus - Saraya vs. Britt Baker - Sting and Darby Allin vs. Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett Zero Hour: - Eddie Kingston vs. Jun Akiyama - Eliminator Semi-Final: Ricky Starks vs. Brian Cage - 5 on 5: The Factory vs. Best Friends

So also getting the finals of an Eliminator Tournament for the next challenger for the title. SIOG/Acclaimed 3, likely Saraya/Britt, maybe FTR/Gunns, likely Wardlow vs Hobbs, and maybe Elite vs Death Triangle. Also gotta finish JAS/BCC, Nyla/Jade, Luchasaurus/JB, and an AAC match

And going under the assumption MJF wins, I’m fascinated to see who he goes up against at WIC.

They usually announce the majority of matches the second to last Dynamite before the PPV which is fine by me as long as the matches make sense and they have a ton of matches that we basically know will be on the show. We just need the graphic.

Jesus, two matches for a PPV that's two weeks away. That's not really THAT bad but they really, really need to have the next two be strong Dynamites to sell the shit out of this. In the past they've been able to sell Punk/Mox and Punk/Eddie very quickly because it's hard to miss with those, but they've made Mox/MJF super convoluted already to work themselves out of along with everything else being kind of a mess.

Gotta be fair here, there are a ton of matches you can see coming and have been getting slowly built up, they just have to be made official within the next two weeks Elite vs Death Triangle, Saraya vs Page, Powerhouse vs Wardlow, Jade vs Nyla, Sting/Darby vs Jarrett/Lethal, Acclaimed vs SIOG, Jungle Boy vs Luchasaurus II, all of these seem like locks for the PPV, and I assume we get the Eliminator Final here as well They just need to make em officially official, but I do think they've been building to stuff well

Me ordering will be contingent on the MJF/Moxley feud. I thought they had more time for some reason. If they nail it the next two weeks, maybe..but definitely feels like a lot of the draw for guys show will be based on “Watch MJF win the title”.

I’ll still be having my normal PPV party with friends but if I was solo I would not bother with this. You have 5 pay per view a year and can’t bother announcing matches more than 2 weeks ahead of time? It’s exactly the type of stuff that soured me on WWE.
Tony really needs to bring more focus to his booking. Things are getting sloppy.

I mean, don't we know most of the matches that will be on there without them having to officially announce them? They've built up the matches coming up, just have to officially announce them. Not like this is December to Dismember where we had zero idea what was coming up even as the show began.

Just really hoping we don't end up with an 11/12 match main card. Load up the Buy In sure, but let's limit how much takes place on the main card, please.
The last 2 PPVs have been so bloated with 'let's get everyone on the PPV'
Mox/MJF Toni/Hayter Acclaimed/SioG Elite/Death Triangle No.1 Contenders Tourny Final Wardlow/Hobbs Nyla/Jade Darby & Sting/Jarrett & Lethal JAS/BCC multi man match (cause whatever with that shit at this stage)
9 matches with all major angles covered. Stick an OC All Atlantic title defense and an Eddie Kingston match on the Buy In and we're set.

Which (personally), with the exception of the Elite Vs DT looks aight.

I'm going to both Rampage and Full Gear. I trust I'll get a good show, but I definitely wouldn't mind it if I had 4-5 matches announced already.

Here's what I imagine the full card will be:
- Moxley/MJF - Acclaimed/Swerve in our Glory - Jericho/Claudio - Danielson/Garcia III - Eliminator Final (Ethan Page vs. ? maybe someone like Eddie) - Wardlow/Hobbs - Jack Perry/Luchasaurus (probably a big gimmick match) - Sting & Darby/Lethal & Jarrett (probably a street fight) - Toni/Jamie - Britt/Saraya - Jade/Nyla
Overall that would be a pretty good card with most matches having a lot of build.

Some of it's been beyond their control (injuries), and Punk going scorched earth on everyone, but there has also been more questionable booking this year than in the past.

It's been far and away their worst year, but also the kind of year that a wrestling company needs to go through and learn from to become more than just a flash in the pan and an actual mainstay in the business.

I've pretty firmly got my mind set on skipping this show and hoping it wipes the slate clean for things I find more interesting afterward, but hopefully it's a good one for the people who are planning to watch it. Do think AEW really should ease the hell up with waiting until the last possible minute to actually announce PPV cards though, especially if they're going to continue putting like 27 matches on them for some reason. (I say this jokingly so please don't take offense) I'd be more shocked if you said you actually were looking forward to an AEW show

Werent there rumors that Punk was on Tks ear after Hangman won the title? With the way they trolled him last night was indirectly telling him "This is all your fault for ruining everything".
