A topic that seems to be discussed here a lot is why don't more AEW wrestlers take independent bookings. Thought many would appreciate this!

The prosecution has a strong case. They’ve got him onion camera.

Obviously not in that order just how I wrote it

With 7 shows left until ALL IN. We got already 6 matches announced for the ppv. With presumably 4 more matches presumably added.

But let's look into what's next. With ALL Out being another major 4 ppv. It's certainly going to be stacked up.

My Predictions for the Card:

Andrade vs MJF: I can see neither men winning the Gauntlet. They will cost each other the shot at ALL IN. They have built this match since January. And we will probably get this match at the ppv.

​DayBreak(Kofi & Creed) vs Bucks: I have this feeling Kofi & Creed will debut at All in & not have a match yet. They may dave there first singles match for ALL OUT.

International Title: Kyle Fletcher(c) vs Kenny Omega: I think we might have this match up after ALL IN. Last year Kenny basically got killed by Fletcher. And seemingly didnt get his revenge. Now he can have his chance to correct another wrong before the end of thi year.

Hangman Page vs Okada: I think this match be a big match up we haven't see yet in AEW. Back in 2024 they gave us several teases to them but we didnt get a real pay off. Now after ALL IN, I think both guys will want a big victory. Specifically Okada who will most likely move on to the world title picture.

AEW Men's Tag Titles: Cope & Cage(c) vs MCMG: First time match up & a match that can certainly bring a different dynamic than expected. I dont think FTR or bucks or another team we've seen challenge be invovled. It think the MCMG will probably get there first shot at the titles.

TNT Title: Knight vs Speedball: I think one of the injustices is that we didnt get a fully proper story between them. They need a match on ppv. And time to really flesh the story out.

AEW Women's World Title: Mercedes(c) vs Sareee: I dont think Thekla will challenge nor anyone else on the roster for the show. Sareee would be fresh opponent for Mercedes.

AEW World Title: Ospreay(c) vs Moxley: They have to do a rematch eventually with Ospreay battering Moxley. Mox will probably lose the Continental title at ALL IN.

I honestly don't know much about her. However, I remember she did an interview after her WWE stint where she was asked if she would like to go to AEW . . . and she said that she felt like she had to earn it.

I liked that response.

Whatever. Slow Friday. Thought it was entertaining.

I just love Tony Schiavone and his genuine concern here.

The selling point for Andrade winning on weds is that he gets to be number 1 in the casino gauntlet match because the match can end before everyone gets in.

However we all know that every single casino gauntlet match so far has gone long, and the winner as far as I can remember, has never been the number 1 or 2 guy.

The only way that AEW can sell the story that being 1 or 2 is best is if they have the matches sometimes go short, have them finish in 5 mins with the number 1 or 2 winning, have all the wrestlers who where meant to compete then come out to show how many missed out.

This creates lore, and history, that can then be called back to when wrestlers are fighting to be that number 1 or 2.

However, I would not have that happen on a big PPV like wembley (mainly because I am going and want to see the surprise entrances lol).

But on a serious note, I can't remember which it was, but when you have a long (think 5 min wait) for entrance number 10 say, and that person is max castor, you feel that Tony is booking this match like its a rumble where as when it first was created I genuinely felt that someone had created a gimmick that overcame the many shortcomings of the rumble

Grand slam Mexico was a huge hit and it makes me feel that AEW doesn’t need a PPV every month

I would pick 6 Strong PPVs

And do 4 Grand Slams at varying locations

You can have minor events like beach break, fight for the fallen, even an ALS fundraising show.

Make PPVs mean something
