Basically, yes. Tanahashi is actually a little sore and won’t be able to do the G1. The plan is for him to beat Moxley and stay in America and with AEW until Punk comes back. Page is winning the hebby q belt and swapping spots with Ace.

Screenshot this comment if you don’t believe me.

>Hey, Gedo, you should take the title off of Jay White, your main gaijin star that just had a big win over Okada to win the belt, so you can give not even our tranny belt, but our interim tranny belt, to Tanahashi, your old sawdusted former ace that, while delivering on great matches, isn't in a position to be a top star anymo-

What's the big deal with Tana vs Punk?
CM Brookes is painfully mediocre in the ring which doesn't bode well for a smark centric fed. Promo battles won't work because of Tana's broken English (Punk would bury him on the mic like he did Hangman)

lmao no way, IF and I consider it an IF so big that if I was Douglass Adams I'd call it an IF so big that if you stood on top of it, you could almost grasp how big space is. There is a switch, it's a short one with Jay winning it back and maybe acknowledging Hangman wasn't as big a pushover as he thought. And CM Punk taking it back and giving Tana the big "You were an amazing opponent" spiel.

What’s the point of having tanahashi win an interim title? It doesn’t mean shit, it’s basically a glorified #1 contender belt. They should have just vacated the title and given tanahashi the real thing so at least he’d be part of the lineage. Then when punk comes back and defeats him, you’re right where you would have been anyway.

I can see Takahashi taking the AEW title for awhile, would be good exposure for AEW to a Japanese audience, not sold on hangman winning the iwgp title though Jay white just got it so I don't think they'll take it off him yet, I think there's a good chance ftr could win the iwgp tag titles though

My personal hope, back when Deano was holding the US HebbyQ, was for that belt to be AEW's midcard championship through however long covid lasted. Tanahashi is the one who ought to drop his belt.

Because Tony is a massive mark who doesn't understand shit about NJPW storylines. Punk should've lost and elevated Hangman to another level so he could face Tanahashi proper since there's a legitimate story between each other.

atom smol is in there to take the pin
hangman can pin him to win it
jay and okada are protected
jay can whine and cry about how he wasn't beaten, muh injustice etc
he can get it back soon afterwards beating hangman 1v1 (with a bit of cheating thrown in like the way he beat okada this month)

Gedo is the guy who put Page in BC in the first place and was going to do the storyline where he has a slowburn heel turn. His whole AEW storyline was from that and it was Gedo's idea originally.
Tanahashi idolizes American wrestling and a World Title run here should mean a lot to him.
Both Okada and Page dropped the titles shortly before FD, and if they were doing a title swap it wouldn't be feasible if you didn't do that, especially if you wanted Page and Tana to come out on top with the way the belts were at the time.

Also Tana beating Punk wouldn't hurt since Punk's whole deal is that he's a wily beat up vet playing mind games and he'd just get beaten at his own game since none of Punk's BS would work on him.
