Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

Ten Man Tag Team Match
Dustgueverich

Mixed Tag Team Match
Stat & Stoke get the win so they could set the stip for Stat's next encounter with Willow.

FTW Title Match
Hook. It's time to put the belt back on him.

AEW World Title #1 Contendership Casino Gauntlet Match
Adam Page

AEW World Tag Team Title Three Way Match
Young Bucks, because I don't see how either other team wins without the Bucks demanding a rematch and the tag title scene needs to move on

AEW World Trios Title London Ladder Match
House of Black

AEW TBS Title Match
Dr. Britt Baker DMD, possibly with assistance from a returning Jamie Hayter

Swerve wins for an Undertaker losing the streak style shock ending.

Ten Man Tag Team Match: Rhodes Von Erich Team

I don't know, I'm not real invested here, I'm going with a full on SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) and going with Rhodes Von Erich and Friends.

Mixed Tag Team Match: Statlander Team

I'd like to see Willow get the win, but I think this week it's Statlander and next week it's Willow.

FTW Title Match: Jericho just because it's Jericho

What I want is for Hook to jump him from behind, lock in the Tazmission for a quick tap and then throw that title into the trash like he's Shane Douglas with the NWA Championship. What I expect is... probably more Learning Tree.

AEW World Title #1 Contendership Casino Gauntlet Match: Hangman

I know the rumor is that Prince Puma is coming in for this, but I don't see anyone, ANYONE, that wins over Hangman and if they do, they better be a big name, and Riccochet isn't it.

AEW World Tag Team Title Three Way Match: Bucks

I see the Bucks getting the win back from last year, I'm pulling for Acclaimed though, of the three teams they are the ones I like.

AEW World Trios Title London Ladder Match: Patriarchy

I don't know, I'm not big into large tag matches, but I'm a big fan of The Patriarchy and like what they're doing so I choose them. HOB just doesn't get me going.

AEW TBS Title Match: Mercedes

Mercedes can't lose here, if she does it's WWE all over again, wins the title but can't defend it at the big shows. I'm torn here because I think the AEW OG's should shine more, but Mercedes is literally "big money" for AEW and so should be in the big money position. She wins, Britt continues the chase.

AEW TNT Title Coffin Match: Jack Perry

I don't like Darby at all, Jack Perry is my guy here, I love what he's done since going to Japan after that Punk shit. Let Darby climb something and fall through a real glass coffin lid for a Perry win.

AEW American Title Match: Ospreay

MJF just for shits and giggles, this seems highly predictable in Ospreay winning it on his home turf, so while I think an MJF win would be great, Ospreay wins.

AEW Women's World Title Match: Mariah

Mariah has to win, has to, it will totally break Toni and as much as I like Timeless Toni, Revenge Toni is pretty great and will be even better chasing her title. I loved the TCM host being in the hype vid. Toni almost single handedly helped keep me invested in AEW for a while there. This is my main event although we know it won't be the shows.

AEW World Title Vs. Career Match: Bryan Danielson

I really dislike this match, completely, not from a match or competitor standpoint, but because the stipulation just doesn't work for me brother. You have Swerve who is in the middle of his initial title run that I find to be just ok, and the win would cement his status at the top, you would hope, but then he'd be the mega-heel that put Danielson out to pasture and I've kind of enjoyed face Swerve, even if he did break into a mans house and threaten his family just a few months ago. Then you have Danielson, he's put his career on the line but has said the plan is to be a part timer going forward, he could lose and do the whole no wrestler ever retires thing, but I just don't see that. I think he wins, he gets the "Lifetime Achievement" Championship run before becoming the part timer, and I like the guy, but I think it's a mistake if it happens.

Ten man tag

Shibata is getting the fall on Matt Taven

Hook

Casino gauntlet battle royale world title eliminator

Honestly no clue. But the BCC and PAC team has the potential for some future stories.

TBS title

TNT title

Darby

Americas title

It's a Swerve bro. We need to cut Danielson to make room for this new rookie Mr American Dragon.

Surprised I wasn't that far off with these. I thought I gave too much to the faces.

Ten Man Tag Team Match Team Dustin, but anything works.

Mixed Tag Team Match Stat/Stoke. Want Willow but like Jello said makes more sense for Stat today and Willow next one.

FTW Title Match I want everyone involved in this match to have travel issues or food poisoning from some jellied eel or something to prevent us from having to watch it. Especially me, since I'll be watching live for once given the time and I cannot skip ahead in a live broadcast. Will still plan my piss and smoke break for this moment tho.

AEW World Title #1 Contendership Casino Gauntlet Match Hangman makes the most sense. I expect to see Ricochet. I hope not to in that match cause like Jello said it'll be stupid to given Hanger has to win.

AEW World Tag Team Title Three Way Match Bucks cause of fuckery, but I want Acclaimed.

AEW World Trios Title London Ladder Match I'm putting the badge of hope on my spooky boys but I know its futile.

AEW TBS Title Match No chance Mercedes doesn't keep it.

AEW TNT Title Coffin Match Jack Perry, the cunt just sandcasted his own belt, it's getting more than 1 week of TV time even if it does have a materials value of $100 and a bigmac..

AEW American Title Match Ospreay but extended fuckery occurs which he overcomes

AEW Women’s World Title Match Mariah May guaranteed. It's the best damn story going on right now and I expect blood.

AEW World Title Vs. Career Match It's been telegraphed so damn hard that Danielson is gonna win I don't need to answer this one lol (tho I also agree with Jello, there could have been better ways to do this).

Edit: Also - HAYTER OR WE RIOT
