Meltzer is saying they changed the all out card and are pivoting away from the planned Omega/Hangman, Bucks/Dark Order matches for the ppv. He said Omega may not even be the main event anymore and may wrestle Kingston or Christian. My opinion: I would think that would mean Darby vs Punk would be the main event now. If Punk works the show, he needs to main event. If not, Omega/Christian or Omega/Kingston can easily main event a PPV. |

I just think those matches as the main event on their biggest show of the year would lack because neither of those guys is taking the title. I do think the pivot is because Punk is gonna main event the PPV, so they won’t waste Omega/Hangman in a semi position, |

Super disappointed if his opponent is Christian. I’d rather see another match with PAC or Orange Cassidy if I’m being honest. It’s gonna be super predictable either way.

I understand Punk needing to be the main event but not having Page beat Omega to become the man on the biggest show of the year sucks.

I figured the whole point of debuting punk early is so he could have a match that wasn't the main event taking away from hangman's moment, rather than just delaying hangman. |

With Bryan and Punk both coming in, they are going to be AEWs two biggest baby faces. Even when Page wins the belt, he’s not going to be the top guy which is a damn shame. I say that as a Punk and a Bryan mark.

I say that as a Punk and a Bryan mark. I hear you, and that may be the initial case, but punk and bryan may just be the people to elevate page that much higher if booked correctly. |

I’m heartbroken if Page isn’t challenging Omega

Hangman is completely out of the main event here.
And reportedly the Bucks are going to issue an open challenge for the tag belts.

I'm fine with Page not being in the main event. AEW is way too predictable at times and it's nice to see them change it up.

If this is true, this would be some straight up WWE booking: completely ignore a year's worth of buildup for the sake of old part-timers. My question is, why rush the debut of Punk like this? Why can't he show up and cut a promo at the PPV to set up his first feud, and have a few months of that before turning heel and taking the belt from Page? |

I guess I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that if they are doing Punk/Darby, Jericho/MJF, and Mox/Tanahashi all on one show they don’t wanna overshadow Hangman’s big moment. They don’t need it, they can pop another big house with that match. |

I don’t think it would hurt to hold off on Hangman’s win until November. The Punk and Danielson signings are going to overshadow anything in the near-future, and Mox/Tanahashi and Jericho/MJF will add to this. As long as they stick to Hangman being the one to dethrone Kenny it should be fine.

One thing that could be playing into this too. Hangman announced his wife was pregnant in June. He didn't say how far along they were though. They didn't post the date on that ultrasound, so who knows when it was from. For all we know June was month 5 or 6.
It might have nothing to do with it, or it might have a lot to do with it.

Protecting him how so? By not striking while the iron is hot and waiting until everyone has moved on? By having Bryan or Punk become the one who ends Omega's reign instead of Page? For the record, I don't believe that this report is true for the very reason of how WWE-like it is. Also, I'm not the booker of AEW, but I'm pretty sure Punk knows how to play heel even when he is popular.... |

I wish Page challenged and won at All Out, but I’ve said all along that they can stretch out Hangman’s story. Punk and Danielson coming in can prolong Omega’s run since it would give him 2 high quality contenders. Unfortunately, I don’t know if their current roster is deep enough for Omega to hold the belt another year.
