Punk has looked old, slow and sloppy in a lot of his matches, he clearly isn't in wrestling shape. And like I said before, they should have just had Danielson beat Page months ago and you wouldnt have this problem. And when did Punk hurt his foot? The Hangman match? The 6 man on Dynamite? Or attempting to jump in the crowd before his match on Dynamite? Also, they said whoever wins between Moxley and the Battle Royal winner goes to Forbidden Door to try and win the belt. (assuming I heard that correctly) If thats the case, who are they facing at the PPV? I assume it wont be Tanahashi still

We'll probably not know when he broke it.

Also interim doesn't devalue the belt. This is done a lot in boxing and combat sports (UFC) and no one ever says the belt has been devalued because if it.

You've just been trained by the Fed since they make people drop the title on the regular when injured.

Some people just live for the chance to be negative about everything

The winner of the battle royal faces Mox for the Interim title. That winner then takes Punks spot at Forbidden Door against Tanhashi

My only criticism of the interim belt, is Punk just won....so when he is ready to come back...he has to WIN right? Kinda takes away the appeal abit...unless Punk is like no we can do this and change stuff up...maybe make it interesting where he turns heel after losing, saying he never got the reign he deserves etc

More than likely he injured himself jumping into the crowd like an idiot. You could see him limping after that down the ramp.

Interim certainly devalues it in wrestling. The TNT Title definitely was hurt by them making Sammy an "interim" champion when Cody was only going to be gone for 2 weeks.

And yeah when a wrestler is injured they should drop the title, its common sense.

And some ppl defend every single thing AEW does even when its dumb or makes no sense.

And Ive seen different reports of when the interim champ gets decided. Most Ive read said the champion gets crowned at Forbidden Door. If thats the case, its weird, because you know Tanahashi isnt winning it.

Oh man it doesn't diminish the title at all. Just face it you think WWE is better and want AEW to follow what they've done all the time. I personally like interim champs and I have never thought the title was any less from all the UFC I've watched over the years.

Anyway here is a press release regarding what's going to happen

I honestly hope you aren't referring to me...

I was going off what LOP/Wrestling Headlines or whatever they changed too..

They 1st reported it was battle royal Wed, then winner faces Mox AT FD for the title

Now they have it as what I posted..

I'm not sure how well Mox would fit vs Tanahashi...so interested to see how it plays out

*****

I see I stand corrected...that's interesting...and definitely very confusing and drawn out...I also can't see Tanahashi winning the belt, unless they REALLY wanna have that matxh with Punk...weird

I’m an AEW homer, but given the situation, I find this as a great alternative to punk just dropping the belt. I was going to be tuning in anyway, but now with this, the MJF drama and already great wrestling, AEW has become must see TV for me. I find myself waiting for Wednesday’s in the same manor that I wait for Sunday in the fall. Again, it’s not perfect, but it’s crazy and hectic in a way that I can enjoy.

Well pretty much every other wrestling promotion vacates the title, so its not just a WWE thing. I think WWE and AEW both have their good and bad spots. And they both have some toxic fans that bad mouth anything the other promotion does.

[Mike Chase]

They do interm belts in boxing and MMA all the time. It's a cool thing to bring over into pro wrestling mostly because you'll never need it as often as it's need in boxing/mma. Sadly I think Punk is going to miss All Out unless he somehow stole John Cena's healing ability.

I was looking at the AEW roster last night and I am going to be honest on what I think they should have done.

They should have kept Jade working up til know, kept her as being unbeatable and have her be the one to beat Rosa. Keep Jade out of the TNT Title and gave it someone else.

Cause seriously right now, AEW has nobody to wrestle Rosa since she has now beaten or feuded with everyone.

Not sure if this is where they are going, but Jade/Rosa been going back and forth on social media...

I hope not..Rosa is good in the ring, but Jade is still green. Don't think either needs to go over each other right now either

I think Jamie Hayter is next logical opponent for Rosa.

Rosa hasn't feuded with Soho yet and she obviously hasn't fought Athena. We also forget Shida could be brought back into the picture at any time. I personally can't stand the "Goldberg" booking of having someone roll in on an undefeated streak. I think Jade should drop the belt in a shocker to someone unexpected and they can call it a fluke. Then move her on to fight Rosa for the belt... However I would also say I am not as in love with Jade as every one else seems to be. I think she is a poor worker in the ring and I have yet to see her have a match where I was like "yeah this girl can be the face of this division"

[mmier118]

Seems like they are setting up a Statlander vs. Jade match. Jade probably loses the belt there and then moves on to Rosa?

[cdub6238]

Danielson hurt now to, pulled from a meet and greet.

Time to see how TK faces serious adversity

[DonrussDean]

Wonder if they will have Moxley vs Tanahashi for the Interim belt?

That seems like the most logical setup.

[nera20]

I love aew but when you look at the gigantic roster and they are having trouble filling the top spots to draw thats not good. WWE had the same problem especially for the women on both brands the lack of top talent is tough especially when you have injuries. Personally the intern belt thing if it goes to moxley is kinda lame when you could give someone else a chance

[Gurds]

Here's a stat for you all. To me this is why TK has a fairly large roster. It allows wrestlers to not have to wrestle every week which allows their body to heal and allows them and the audience to not get burnt out as quickly.

Also guessing that Cody wanted more matches, instead of working so much backstage?

Its weird because when other places don't use ppl every week its said "they're being wasted in catering"

Yeah I'm sure it's probably Cody that said he'd work so much and WWE wanting to take advantage of him being a hot commodity right now, but also if WWE hadn't cut tons of talent for "budget" cuts they could have many other talents work and give some stories a week or two off.

But working house shows, raw, ppvs all the time has to take a toll on people's bodies. And for Cody that's just in the two months he's been back in WWE.

You got to remember that they actually get to do what they want. Many wrestle for places like Impact, NJPW, GCW, DEFY, and Warrior Wrestling. Or they get to have their own Twitch or Youtube channels. Much more freedom unlike WWE where they actually sit in catering and nothing else. AEW isn't close to perfect but if you want to branch out you can.

[dinohotep]

Now MJF wants to explore hollywood possibilities. Wonder what's up with him.

[DonrussDean]

Casino Battle Royal tonight and the winner wrestles Moxley in the Main Event to see who gets a shot at Punk. I guess it's better than a tourney, but I don't understand their ranking systems at all.

The winner of the Battle Royal has to be someone that will lose to Moxley, so I am think Darby or Hangman.
