Top of the list, for sure.

Kenny is almost certainly retaining.
Miro is probably retaining.
Britt is almost certainly beating Shida.
That leaves the Bucks vs Unscripted Madness?( Mox and Kingston)

So do they go back to touring with four heel sets of champions, or do they slap the tag belts on the lads?

If the Bucks retain, who is the first championship to get unseated out of those four?

Definitely the Bucks, to either PnP or Best Friends to kick off a summer of good feelings.

I think we do All Heel Champions for one PPV cycle. Then maybe a hero rises in RAMPAGE to dethrone Miro at All Out, and the Lucha Bros finally get the bucks there too.

There's nothing wrong with Archer being the Main Eventer Gatekeeper, the Kanes and Gotos of the industry are important.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think they've done such a good job of clearly establishing that none of the titles are gonna get hotshotted that they can start bouncing at least one of the belts around a little bit more frequently just to keep things interesting.

The obvious thing would be to do it with the TNT title, but I could also see giving, say, Best Friends/Lucha Bros/PnP/FTR shorter title reigns throughout 2021 to build a narrative of "the top of the tag division is insanely competitive"

I think they'll do Lucha Bros vs. Bucks mask vs. hair at All Out instead of it being for the titles.

So do BF over Lucha Bros at DoN to begin their ascent to the titles, which frees up the Bucks/Lucha apuestas match.

It's the right role for him to get a few pushes a year where he causes chaos but doesn't get overexposed.

That would give the bucks a reason to further change their look and not emulate that part of Shawn Michaels career. The headband on Nick is the cowboy hat on Shawn.

E: and I say this as a guy who was in denial about his baldness and just shaved his head this year. It's freeing.

Unless Archer will be the one to eventually take the TNT title off of Miro, I think this is a bad idea. Archer already lost feuds to Mox and Cody. If he loses the feud to Miro then I think they run the risk of ruining him.

they're not hot shotting the TNT Title to Lance Archer as much as i'd mark out for it, it'd be a bad move

only title changing at DoN is Shida's, and yeah, then probably the bucks next, but i've NO idea who will be the ones to take the belts. i feel like the lucha brothers are due, and pnp are due. if they start a feud with pnp post DoN, they're getting the belts

edit:
miro just had his character beat, lance needs his, he's still just "guy with jake", despite being interested in Sting, he loses to Miro and has to decide which way his future lay

You should eat the Archer diet anyway and let us know how it is.

As said elsewhere Lance doesn't need this. He can be AEW's Kane and that's fine. Not everybody can be champ.
(Archer is great mind you. But right now Miro is better at being a similar act).

I'm just a sick guy, I'm really just a dirty guy.
Archer is very good but also, you know, it’s fine to have a cool big guy who always remains over and does cool stuff, serves as a gatekeeper even if they don’t win the big one. doesn’t mean they’re ruined or can’t tell cool stories with them, but it’s fine to have those guys. not everyone can win all the time and that’s just part and parcel of having an extremely talented roster

sincerely,

I get what you're saying. I'm just saying that, to me, his character would lose credibility if he loses a third feud in a row.

its weird hearing Miro praise Jesus for making him strong and good at kicking rear end, those dudes are always low key scary as gently caress lmao

I feel like if they’re gonna put a title on Archer, it should probably be sooner rather than later. Like - not right now, but maybe also not years down the line. Dude can still go hard as gently caress but he’s also 44 and huge - how long is his body going to hold up?
