True. it is becoming more common nowadays. I have just never been a fan of major titles being changed in gimmick matches.

I think it depends on the match and the title. I'm not a fan of it for the world title in 3 or 4 way type matches or the more "out there" gimmick matches. But "hardcore", no DQ, and last man standing type matches have become so ingrained in the industry that I don't bat an eye at it. The same could be said for cage matches. I wouldn't think anything about a title change in a one on one Hell in a Cell. As long as the "escape the cage" option is omitted, I see no issue with it.

With all that said. The vibe coming off AEW is that Hanger is definitely going to win this match and be the conquering hero redeeming himself. It feels like everything is primed for a giant "swerve" to me.

Sometimes the predictable is the right outcome. This is one of those instances. The only swerve should be Strickland hitting Mox with a house call.

IMO

That said, if Swerve and Ospreay lose that would certainly open the door for a Swerve heel turn.

I completely agree that's what should happen. But anytime something seems like a certainty, I get suspicious lol.

I'd actually expect a heel turn more if Ospreay and Swerve win the match with the Bucks. I know they said they'd give the EVP slot "to the people". But that could be one of them being full of it. I could see a heel turn that joins one or both with Don Callis and this whole thing being a plan from Don to wrest control of the company from the Bucks. Their has been illusions to The Bucks not trusting him despite working with The Family of late and Swerve not trusting Will with the EVP slot.

It could be foreshadowing, or I might be seeing ghosts. But I expect shenanigans.

So, I'm up late watching Collision....

Episode 100 opened with Cole and the best entrance in the buisness today. I feel like Cole has gained a little momentum back, holding the TNT strap. But I'll be shocked if he beats The Protostar. Fletcher has to much talent and he'd elevate that title.

It's arguable who is a better wrestler between Mercedes and Toni Storm. Who cuts a better promo is not.

Max's challenge has never had a reaction like it did tonight. It's great to see this return. The "5 tool player" can eat his heart out.

Willow has come a long way. She's always been awesome. Now, she's changed her body and put the work in.

FTR and The Outrunners could define tag team wrestling for a generation.

And where is Orange Cassidy? And Jack Perry? And I hear Luchasaurus is ready and cleared as well.

I think Orange is still injured. Torn peck last I saw. Not sure about the other two.

I saw a video on Instagram with Sting recently. He had a beard and the makeup over it. It made me chuckle a bit. I do expect to see Darby at All In though. He could very well have his "mentor" in tow.
