Right now the plan for AEW is this:
>>Elite lose the trios belt to House of Black, due to Rush and Preston Vance interfering.
>>Young Bucks will work with Preston/Rush with the eye towards the Bucks jobbing and jobbing HARD to put Rush/Preston over, since they won't put over the Gunn Club and the fact that Preston is still pissed Hangman won't work with him (meaning he left Dark Order/unmasked for nothing) and Moxley fucking him over in his match, as Moxley was supposed to put Preston over but vetoed it.
>>FTR have been promised one more match, one that they'll win, before their contract is up as Tony desperately wants FTR to work Ring of Honor even if it's part time after their contract is up. Word on the street, is that Tony's threatening to shut down relations with NJPW if they don't let him book Dax's dream match with Okada and Tanahashi where FTR flawless victory curb stomps them.
>>Kenny Omega/Adam Cole is going to happen with the Bucks jobbing to Preston/Rush. Adam Cole was promised a big run against Kenny to keep him on the farm when Hunter took over the WWE, so expect that to be one of the big feuds for this spring/summer.
>>Discovery is pushing hard to make Bryan Danielson the new AEW champion, since they view MJF's tenure to be a flop. Especially since Tonys being quite coy about Punk's return; Discovery is still pushing for Punk's return to the top of AEW but is starting to hedge their bets around forcing Tony to build around Danielson instead, if Punk's not coming back.
>>Jericho has been doing his damnest to get Punk's first feud back with him. He knows the Elite will refuse to work with Punk, but that whoever Punk feuds with will have a ton of eyes on and lots of publicity and big ratings.
