Christian has a TNT Title match next Saturday on Collision against the winner of Brian Danielson vs Swerve Strickland on Dynamite this week. I think Edge vs Christian is personal enough that they don't need a title in the mix as well. I think Edge is going to screw Christian on Collision and cost him the belt. The TNT Championsip can be apart of the story of Danielson's final run, or they can give it to a VERY DESERVING Swerve Strickland. Either way, I think Edge is costing Christian Cage the gold next Saturday. I wouldnβt mind Edge beating Christian for the TNT Title lol |

The booking of Orange since All Out has really confused me.

I don't see that going down. Sure, Cage ordered Lucha and the kid to beat Adam up, but that will get settled tomorrow. If anything it's just setting up Adam/Darby/Sting vs Cage/Lucha/kid. As for the title, you're right, it doesn't need to be a part of the feud. So I can easily see BD or Swerve taking it. The question is, will BD put Swerve over? Not saying that he wouldn't, just wondering if he thinks it's time to do that. BD is too unselfish and should have had a run with the AEW title when he first showed up. Now he's just another guy. |

Adam Copeland is the next TNT Champion.
He will win it at Full Gear.
They have elevated this title. Look what Christian Cage has done with the championship. Copeland is not going to find it the least bit insulting to be TNT champion.
Also gives him plenty of opportunity to get quick TV matches out of the way against tons of new faces.
Mid-card championships are not only what WWE does to their titles most of the time. They can have every bit of prestige as any other title. Look beyond WWE's history. Even look at some of the ways WWE has elevated these belts before. You think Edge would have any issue being IC champion by pinning Gunther right now?
This belt was also the focus of a barn burner 2/3 falls PPV main event 10 days ago.

The booking of Orange since All Out has really confused me. His body needs a rest. He's been working through 2-3 injuries all while having great TV bouts weekly for months. Also didn't help that we couldn't get a Mox rematch because he was injured briefly. He was able to scrape through the fourway tag match at the PPV because of all the action. He's back very soon. |

Special attractions don't wrestle for mid-card championships. John Cenaβs US title run, Triple H as IC champ in 2001, multiple US champs in WCW, I could go on Every one of those guys was a full time member of the roster and were not special attractions. When I think of special attractions, I think of guys like Lesnar and Cena now. Not full time guys. I know Bryan is pretty much full time, but I'm not the one that called him a special attraction. Bryan is this generation's Bret. Going from one company that made him a star to one that doesn't know how to book him. |

Edge is going to be on weekly television and signed a multi-year deal with AEW.
I don't know when you stop calling someone "special attraction" just because of their age/tenure and when they are just ACTIVE ROSTER MEMBERS.
What else can he do? Commentate Rampage?
Also AEW is so vastly different from what you've known as mainstream wrestling for so many years. Top guys aren't always on TV each week or on both shows. Is Christian a special attraction? He only wrestles 1-2 times a month. Is MJF a special attraction? Is Chris Jericho?
I think the assumption that Edge is a "special attraction" and not just onto the next chapter in his career is wrong.

Better blame Dragon himself. He is calling his own shots. TK is a wrestling mark and is giving this man free reign on how he's gonna finish up his full time status. If you think the above graphic is someone being booked poorly I'd love to know more about how someone gets booked well. He's had 3 singles matches just this year that will go down as some of the best in company history. ON TOP OF BEING HURT. |

He shouldβve beat Omega instead of Page and continued his great heel work at that time. Instead weβve gotten whatever the BCC is and stabbing people with forks to being happy to wrestle dream matches again. Itβs all over the place and very bad booking. Would be great if wrestling was a real sport and not entertainment. 20/30min matches with no build is bad booking. Bryan is a great guy and wrestler, but an awful booker. |

I personally wanted to see more done with Danielson and AEW has a problem with creating storylines for stables. But it is hard to maintain momentum for a narrative with a key player backing out of the company (Regal) and snapping your dang forearm. |

there's no doubt that aew's booking is a mess, but to try to assert wwe as a better option...hard lol Aw come on now now! E fans get to tune into the C show tonight (or the "minors" of their own promotion as they put it) to watch Undertaker do some acting, Cena slam the mat and "get into it" with someone, Heyman stare creepily, and a bunch of pointless matches outside of what should be a very solid main event. |
