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. The funny part about the last sentence is that Uno just walked up to Vance and tried to forgive him on BTDO, then after Dark Order left, Vance gave them the middle finger.

i forgot dark order was even on the roster... They took over Being The Elite a while back, but mostly just do dark matches and ROH now. Uno also runs the Mystery Wrestling promotion, and has a gaming podcast with Adam Cole.

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. I've been praying for a Hayter return for basically a year but I don't know if a return to attack Toni feels likely right now. Makes all the sense in the world with what happened a year ago but Toni is in a totally different place, is basically a massive babyface herself at the moment regardless of whether she's actually meant to be or not, and has a great storyline going with Mariah. I guess they could stay together longer term but it's felt to me like Toni will face Mina at Forbidden Door, that's been heavily teased for a long time now, and then that would lead to Toni vs Mariah at All In. Could be totally wrong but it feels like a hard place to drop Jamie in despite the fact in storyline she'd obviously want revenge and her title back. A match with Mercedes could be the way to go, maybe the biggest women's match they can do and would be well worthy of Wembley but not sure they'd want Mercedes losing that soon if she's TBS Champion by then and Jamie losing a big match post-return in her home country would feel a weird move too. Have said all this before but it feels like a really hard situation knowing exactly what to do with Jamie when she's healthy, assuming it's soon. Could definitely see Britt returning with Cole though.

bummer. that was my guess I read Hayter had multiple injuries, so it may be closer to All In when she's back, assuming her recovery's going along smoothly.

Not even pics of her from other fans since last year either.

I'll most likely not watching this live. Gonna have to avoid this place tomorrow and hope AEW's youtube doesn't spoil shit like it usually does. Not even subscribed and their shit just pops up on my feed.

I did see some scuttlebutt about what the shocking opening for the show might be, but I haven't vetted it so truckloads of salt for this one: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}
