Wouldn’t it be kind of weird for them to go for the title while also being on the same team in a Blood and Guts match?

Yep,Cole will probably be the one but you have a lot of choices. Of course it’s gonna be hard to fill CM Punks shoes but I think AEW is stacked enough to make it work.

By that standard Wardlow is the no.1 contender.

Is he ready?

TNT for him hopefully

He has a lot of time

Could easily retcon it and Eddie goes looking for other team members.

As great as that feud’s been, the world title is more important.

Wardlow gotta go to court first we can’t drop that storyline can we?

Cole is too lukewarm rn to win and it def has to be a babyface that MJF can win it off.

TK gonna give it back to Hangman tbh

“And my career”

Everything and anything getting dropped for this.

It’s the epitome of a “break glass in case of emergency” situation.

AEW on a wild ride right now man

I know TK lowkey wish he had Cody rn lol

Wouldn’t be angry with that.

A Hangman/Tanahashi match would be amazing.

They can use that as him starting to get his confidence back then have MJF lambast him for weeks calling him a paper champion who’s only holding that title because PG Punk gave it up.

Hangman’s insecurities take hold, gives him World Championship match at All Out despite Max not competing and not being in contendership, Max wins as All Out.

Same vibes

Punker working it like his best friend Tony

He calling out Tana and putting his career on the line if he loses

The Doorrrrrrr

Everybody complaining that AEW is overloaded with guys rn but that works perfectly when your top guy gets injured and leaves a power vacuum at the top.

Feels like we’re gonna get a lot of goofy booking if Punk has to vacate. Not because TK is a goofy Booker,but because of the way TK plans ahead so much and probably isn’t looking for a snafu as big is this.

Next page. My eyes fam

give the belt to darby simple as that

Cody refused to go back on his Full Gear ‘19 vow and refused to turn heel so he’d be useless here.

Cody

Have Sting turn on him and try to go for the big one, one last time

That works for me brotherrr

Putting my booker hat on and I am accepting all types of slander for my ideas…

Depending on how bad Punks injury is, I don’t think taking the title away would be the best option right away. I would keep him on tv and possibly keep him protected in multi man matches and not every damn week with FTR. (Again depending how bad this injury is).

Run a KOTR tourney immediately after Forbidden Door that goes till about All Out or Arthur Ashe…Winner faces a 100% healthy punk.

Flame away!
