It does feel like the top faces could use some reinforcements especially after Eddie went down. MJF would be a big return. If not tonight, then Forbidden Door.

Purchase has been made. Excited to see Swerve vs Christian and Ospreay win the International title. I don’t know what Hangman is going to do tonight. I suppose he will turn out to be the emotional leader of the elite on the mic. Adam Page teaming up with Perry will probably be pretty special. But if the cowboy goes heel I don’t know who will lead the faces against the elite? Ospreay? MJF? Moxley?…Omega when he gets back? Swerve needs to be the Leader of the Resistance.

MJF sounds like he's back soon, but his destination feels like a second match with Cole at All In, they had a phenomenal storyline together that isn't remembered as well as it probably should be due to Cole's injury throwing a massive spanner in the works, they had something magic before then, definitely deserves to be finished off. Suppose he could return tonight but I feel like Forbidden Door is more likely as it's in his home town.
I think Swerve is being lined up to lead Team AEW tbh, he's constantly interacting with and talking shit about The Elite, and he's the World Champion of the company they're sabotaging. Whenever AEW eventually prevail I expect him to be leading them, possibly after having faced Hanger at All In to further it a little more? Especially if it's on a Blood & Guts Dynamite where there's not normally a World Title Match. Not sure how long they plan for the story to go though, could go beyond then even but I'd still expect Swerve at the forefront along with someone like Garcia to give him a push.
Buzzing for tonight, bit of a pain as I'll be pressed for time before heading to Amsterdam and will miss Dynamite for the first time in years. Hoping for an awesome show to see me off, card looks great.

Would people be mad if the Elite won AiTA and chalk it up to misery booking?

Would people be mad if the Elite won AiTA and chalk it up to misery booking? I feel like misery booking has to rely on something building 'heat' for wya too long and leaving no sign that it can ever end. With this story we're on the first PPV match they've actually had, it feels way too soon to class this as misery booking versus just the heels winning to establish their act.

It only gets to misery booking when they're constantly dominant with no end in sight. Closest things to misery booking I've seen in AEW are Sammy Guevara vs ATT and Chris Jericho's neverending feuds the last couple of years with the JAS and his brief solo face run after.

I reckon Hangman returns in a 'Who's side is he on?' angle with the Elite v AEW feud. Eventually, he chooses the Elite and blames the fans for siding with Swerve going all 97-era Hitman.
MJF to get teased (devil mask and/or Burberry scarf in a background shot) but they will only have one big male return per night I think. I guess he can spend the summer working his way through the UK (stable not country) and hopefully Cole is fit for All In. This storyline could tie in with Baker's return.
Hayter will interrupt Toni after a successful defense to begin the build for a title match in London. If it doesn't happen tonight then it'll happen at FD.

The Elite beating Hangman and Dark Order. Hangman came out of that okay after his break in 2021, but Dark Order hasn't recovered since. Yeah, had I booked that, if Dark Order HAD to lose, I would've had Hangman be the third or fourth guy from his team eliminated, and had it come down to Silver vs. Omega. At least that way, you have some stories to build on: Hangman relied on others, but he needs to do this himself; Silver feels responsible for Hangman losing his title shot, even though Hangman told him personally that he doesn't blame him - you can use that to fuel the tension Dark Order had heading into the Rochester show, with Silver beating himself up and the rookie members supporting him, while Uno, Stu and Cabana kind of do blame Silver. Problem Dark Order has is that their storylines never really mean anything, because they just lose, disappear, then show up again when they need to put someone else over. I don't think they even attempted to get revenge on Preston Vance/LFI for betraying them.

Forget six feet under, Dark Order got put twenty feet under after that.
