>>19739718Take, Fletcher - heels, no path to title
Bandido - Here Damn Champion, path to midcard
Briscoe - previous Here Damn champion, midcard title
Ricochet - most worthless midcard titleholder
GoA, Knight, Bailey - tag/trio slop
Swerve - fringe world title contender, same as 2024
Storm - see Swerve
Clon, Hechicero, Brody, O'Reilly lol, also lmao
Shafir - 0 title wins, can barely wrestle
Windsor - 0 title wins, decent wrestler
Willow - same place/title as 2 years ago
moving from the low midcard to the midcard isn't much of a move. Almost none of these names can have a viable, believable singles match on a PPV without a death match stipulation.
At the top, it's all the same names. Okada may join them soon. Are we really supposed to believe Bandido, Briscoe or Fletcher will win the AEW World Title before Okada, Ospreay or Swerve a 2nd time? Really?
