I think there's a good possibility that both Charlotte and Becky will lose (Charlotte moreso than Becky). Sasha and Bayley have the numbers here. And both Charlotte and Becky are at the level where they don't need the belt.
And I don't disagree that Cody didn't have help... he wasn't in there by himself. But I'd still argue across the board Cody has delivered against different opponents in different feuds.
I haven't seen AEW yet but the "sippin the bubbly thing" by Jericho s what I know the most so...yeah they don't seem to be skimping on the backstage stuff. Not mad at em tho.
Honestly I think NXT does a better job of simulating a "sport" than AEW does, if we're talking about a true alternative to the WWE. You can't throw invisible Hadouken fireballs at your opponents (who sell the moves) and credibly call presentation a real sport.
They add goofy stuff too ... it's just goofy stuff the Elite and Jericho find funny, rather than goofy stuff Vince finds funny. Not that I'm knockig them for doing it necessarily... but in comparrison to the high profile WWE alternatives out there, I think you can argue AEW is more like the WWE right now than NXT, ROH, or Impact. That's somewhat debatable of course.
I'm talking about what Tony plans are for TV. The PPVs are a different matter. They already established that PPVs will operate under different rules. Bloodbaths like Cody vs Dustin will be for PPV and not TV. It wouldn't surprise me if the comedy stuff gets regulated to Being the Elite once it hits TV.

I would split the difference.
I think Charlotte loses via interference by Sasha, so that Bayley retains. Bayley tries to interfere with Beckys match, but Charlotte comes out and prevents it. That will allow for RAW champ Becky to face Smackdown champ Bayley at Survivor Series, while Charlotte and Sasha can probably captain their respective teams.
I think Becky EVENTUALLY will probably drop the belt too, but after Survivor Series.
Well the US Title was supposed to be the mid/upper card title where the champion would get a brief look at that level. To see how he'd do. Its like the next step up and many US Champions became WCW World Champions in WCW . One was offered the WCW World title (Barry Windham but he turned it down actually so he could have been listed here).
Lex Luger
Sting
Rick Rude
Diamond Dallas Page
Goldberg
Scott Steiner
Chris Benoit
Jeff Jarrett
Now in looking Lance Storm had Bischoff gotten the company had a run where he won every mid/lower card title. As Bischoff later claimed the idea was that Storm would become one of the company's top heels and likely WCW World Champion that fall when they relaunched.
But the overall idea was at times to give a test look at guys with US Title. Those in upper card not working main event world title angles could get a program. I feel sad for Raven as he had won the US Title but never got the upper card program he wanted (he pitched working with Piper , who wanted to do it ..Bischoff later said no). Goldberg himself had his US title run suddenly end because they went for him winning the World title in Georgia Dome as a silly move , ruining a huge PPV Starrcade 1998 buyrate.
In TNA , Hogan/Bischoff pitched a near same idea that Lucha Underground had. If you were X-Division champion within a year you could trade the X-Division title in and get a World title shot at the PPV. Austin Aires did that one year.
"The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.
“ Well hell just froze over. Because CM Punk is back in the WWE.” - Jcogginsa.
“You can take the boy outta the mom’s basement, but you can’t take the mom’s basement outta the boy!” - LA Knight.
"Revel in What You Are." Bray Wyatt.
No, I understand the point of a mid-card title.
I'm just saying that it's somewhat pointless to always list the US champ as the number one contender every week, when they never get a title shot. It basicaly exposes the top 10 list as a fraud when the number 1 contender never wrestles for the world title.
