>>11149243As part of their re-up, since the Bucks refused to work with them, FTR was given total creative control over their booking and a guaranteed year long title reign; with the former being out into writing so that the Bucks couldn't fuck with them ever again.
Then the Bucks, as part of the Elites collective re-up, demanded they be immediately allowed to beat FTR both for the titles and in the rubber match at the Wembley show to "end their feud".
Tony caved to the Bucks, even though those clauses were in direct contradictory to what FTR was given in THEIR contract (IE a year long title reign and the ability to hard veto ANYTHING relating to the Bucks, meaning the Bucks can't legally demand to go over FTR no matter how hard they scream they are leaving AEW if they don't.
Tony at first caved to the Bucks telling FTR he'll give them the trios belts instead and vagueries that he'll "make it up to them somehow" even though the Bucks have made it clear they won't put over FTR and will fake injuries ala Shawn to get out of doing it and intend the Wembley match to be the finale of the feud.
Punk tells Tony to fuck off, as FTR demand Tony honor the legally binding contract he signed.
And since Punk is under a gag order relating to Omega and the Bucks, he took out his anger at Page for his friends bullshit.
Hence FTR/Punk lost their match against HOB and why Tony's going insane having to find a way to make the Bucks back down since they'll probably no-show Wembley at this rate combined with Tony not wanting a Bash 2000 debacle that once again upstaged and fucks up another big moment for MJF
