Honestly, you're better just seeing if you can get the Monday off and staying in London overnight. Probably be cheaper if you get a Travelodge or whatever.

I was trying to avoid the cost of an overnight stay, I'm poor. Seat on the Caledonian Sleeper is about £60, as opposed to a berth which is closer to £200 I think.

Thought it might be interesting to resurface this thread now that the card is actually starting to come together. Congrats to the following posters for correctly guessing matches that have been announced/rumored/teased thus far:

Hefty Leftist posted:

Adam Cole vs MJF AEW Championship
FTR vs Young Bucks Tag Championship

End of list. Congrats again to all who succeeded.

God I love using multi-man number 1 contender matches to bullshit my way through the last 10% of a fantasy card. :mmmhmm:

I assumed Matt Jackson, PAC and Galloway will all be unavailable.

I'll put together a new card in a bit.

I think it'll be more like:

MJF (c) vs Adam Cole

"Real" AEW Title
CM Punk ("c") vs Samoa Joe

Golden Lovers (I dunno how to do the star thing) vs Konosuke Takeshita & Will Ospreay

AEW World Tag Team Championship
FTR (c) vs Young Bucks

AEW International Championship
Orange Cassidy (c) vs Jon Moxley

Darby Allin & Sting vs Swerve Strickland & AR Fox

AEW World Trios Championship
House of Black (c) w/ Julia Hart vs La Facción Ingobernable

AEW World Women's Title
Hikaru Shida (c) vs Saraya

and then like 4 pre-show/ROH matches. Maybe Eddie Kingston vs Shingo Takagi is one of them. Maybe TMDK vs BCC if Yuta's healed.

No way Chris Jericho won't be on the card. Maybe have him w/ Takeshita vs. Golden Lovers. Maybe Will Ospreay vs. Katsuyori Shibata. Dunno what the story would be but it's a match I'd like to see.

Kenny vs Takeshita
Jericho vs Ospreay (Either Jericho refuses Don's offer and gets jumped or he accepts Don's offer and gets jumped anyway because Don was just stringing him along for some reason)

This is pretty much exactly what I was thinking

I've heard Jericho v osprey is a thing though and that leaves omega v Takeshita

So the show will be six hours I guess

I feel like they've got have a big clusterfuck battle royal at Wembley to fit all the other big names in, both for the fans and for the roster.

The great and devious UltraMantis Black hides from no man, woman, beast, or unearthly spirit.
On a separate discord I put this card together…

quote:

Pac vs MJF.
Bucks vs FTR vs Aussie Open vs Lucha bros (escalera de la muerte)
Jamie vs Toni vs Saraya
Kenny vs Will
Sabre vs Dragon
OC vs Grado (still wrestling?)
House of Black vs BCC (no dq)
Jericho vs mystery opponent (Drew Galloway)
Sting Darby vs Best Friends.
Can they do a women’s casino BR?

Not even thinking that Eddie would have a strap, or even putting anything ROH related on there.

Happy with mjf cole, and punk vs Joe.

Personally think more teams should be added to bucks ftr though. Make it a complete schmoz spotfest.

On a completely separate note…is there a goon meet-up/carpool situation happening at all?

I put the card together before he walked out at mitb. And as we’re talking strictly fantasy booking, thought it would have been sweet to do/keep in.

Everything I've seen of Saraya has massively underwhelmed me. I get that she's British but i have zero interest in seeing her lumber her way through a match with Shida. It'll just make both of them look bad.

Give her a good showing in a Battle Royal where they can protect her a bit. Couple of fun spots and a strong impression. That'll do it. Hell, you could even let her win it for a title shot at All Out. Chicago gets a live AEW event every other week. Let them take the hit.

As for the women's match I'd have Athena come out on Wednesday after Shida beats Anna, cut a promo about how she's run roughshod over RoH and then have them knock the hell out of each other backstage and in run-ins for the next couple of weeks (Maybe even across all 3 shows) as a build. Then I get to see an absolute banger between their 2 strongest female workers for my first ever live show. Thank you, TK.

I get the vibe Tony agrees with you, given that she's gone from 'hottest free agent signing in the AEW woman's division history' to 'running interference for Toni and Ruby and never wrestling'.
Either that or Saraya's neck wasn't as ready as the doctor who cleared her thought it was.
