On a personal level I reeeeeally don't want a heel Hangman and I don't think they need it. I think there's a lot of mileage in Hangman and Swerve as reluctant partners for the greater good I get that and it sounds interesting. But then I definitely think there is a massive hole for a tippy top heel in AEW. A proper heel who can get proper heat and be a main event player. Bit like what Christian does but that tier higher. Christian more upper mid. And I'm not sure who that is. It's not Okada, as he will eventually go face. Could turn MJF back heel. But I think there is a bit opportunity for Hangman to fill that spot. Only thing is I don't really wanna see him back teaming with the Bucks again. If you want him to be mega top heel then he needs to stand alone

Now that Blood And Guts is official for July 24th, here is my Team AEW :
Swerve Strickland, the Acclaimed, and Sammy Guevara!

A Hangman/Dark Order reunion, but with both as heels could be interesting if done right. Then you could do an angle where Page tries to use TDO as his personal hitmen against Swerve with some in the group being upset that Hangman’s only using them for his own selfish desires.

I want to see Hangman do a proper heel run. I thought the way he was going before his break was really interesting.
But, if we're having a big war over AEW and what it should be, I want Hangman on the face side. I feel like more than anyone, he's the heart of AEW so seeing him with the Elite in this circumstance just doesn't feel right to me. Anything else, 100% give me a heel Hangman. Just not in this.

Just fantasy booking on my part, but I get a vibe like the long term story here would be him siding with the Bucks for now (they're his boys, and he still loathes Swerve), but the eventual payoff is him redeeming himself at the story's climax. A lot depends on how long they're looking for this story to go, of course, but just feels like there's tons of business to be done with more Swerve vs. Page matches and then Hangman turning back face.

Gates of Agony mentioning that the Elite booked MJF vs. Hechicero for Forbidden Door now brings Max into the Civil War, so he’s likely a candidate for Team AEW in Blood and Guts.

The Acclaimed defeated Matt and Nick Jackson! This is the first time since Dynasty that the Elite have suffered a defeat!

So Swerve and MJF are likely on one side of Blood and Guts. I assume Hangman ends up on the Elite side. Wonder who else will represent AEW.

My first guess is it winds up being something like Ospreay, Swerve, MJF, Danielson, Mox vs. Matt, Nick, Okada, Jack Perry and Hangman. I think there's also a real chance they stretch things out a bit and we see Swerve, Hangman, MJF, Danielson, Mox vs. Matt, Nick, Okada, Jack Perry and Takeshita with Hangman turning because he can't be on the same team as Swerve. I think Omega's the wildcard in all of it - if he's healthy and ready to go, I think Omega is in the match over Mox or Ospreay.
