It seems to me Tony doesn't know how to book unless a belt is involved or someone is in a stable. There's no reason why someone like Miro should be sitting at home.
agreed, belt, stable or tournament seem to be his bread & butter, i suspect that's why they have so many of each. i read once that most bookers have a shelf life of about 3 years of high quality, i think there may be some truth to that. tk booking was never fantastic it was good enough to get us to the matches that were fantastic.
i'm a big fan of miro too but not sure where to squeeze him in at this point. there's so many guys that i'd like to see get a push.
ricky starks was great this week, if aew is short on main event faces they just got a little help in that area.

So this past year Josh Alexander was a free agent awhile. His Impact Wrestling contract had expired. He looked at AEW and debated signing there.
But a big issue was booking. As he brought up how guys were barely being used except the top 20 ones. So he decided to go back to Impact .
So on his Instagram Punk had been silent. Except for posting a picture of himself with long hair in the WWE from 2011. Which has people talking about what he could be hinting at.
Punk then today posted a funny deal about Danhausen. That his injury was a result of Danhausen "cursing" him and he claims..

A glimpse of MJF future feuds

Kenny Omega is absent from this list and so is Samoa Joe. 2 guys who Khan needs to push against MJF at some point. Plus will Adam Cole get medically cleared to return due to his brain issues ?
This is some question marks ahead...i do like that the idea as I posted to save MJF's big programs (Danielson , Mox rematch , Sensitive Lame Cowboy (i added lame ok) aka Hangman Page are PPV ones and the ones like Starks , Jungle Boy and Eddie Kingston are the programs during Non-PPV months).
So yeah hopefully Khan can book these well. Tony Khan....you don't need anymore tournaments for at least 6 months as well. Please stop awhile doing those ok.

Kenny is going to be busy with trios. TBH, I rather not see him work with MJF. I don't see Kenny being compatible with him. Max isn't trying to wrestle clinics, gets over largely on promos and character, and Max likes getting personal to draw heat. I'm not confident Kenny would be a good fit as an opponent.
Joe is a heel right now so he won't go after MJF.
If Adam Cole still has concussion issues then they can sub him for Kyle O' Riley. I know he's hurt too but his future isn't in question.
(From a "ROH Final Battle..." watchalong on Youtube...)
Apparently, Ringside News took to Twitter to post a photo of Lee/Strickland coming out together that said "These two have more beef than @Arbys."
While I ain't really one for Twitter/Facebook/You Get The Picture?
That is sorta hilarious.
Omega is really as I hate to say this ...more valuable as a singles guy really. Him doing trios matches doesn't help the product or Max. It's not about wrestling clinics etc. It's putting your strongest stars your company have against each other.
Given how fast we see heel and face turns at times in AEW...Joe turning face in spring of 2023 wouldn't be far fetched.

Given the nature of his injury and how long he's been out it would be foolish for him to stay a heel. I know I don't want to boo him when he comes back.
Kenny is likely doing trios to take it easy. He took a long break due to a laundry list of minor injuries piling up because he loves going all out in 20+ minutes. Let him add credibility to that division and let other guys grab the singles ball.
I'd normally agree that Omega letting others work awhile is a great deal. It's more or less AEW has to really push good programs that sell PPVs and drive tickets. Omega is that really.
I'll say it...Omega is more valuable than Hangman Page against MJF. Page had a... so/so run while Omega had a near year long run where he was in other companies winning belts too.
I'm not a big fan really...but Omega has to factor in by spring or summer 2023. You just can't keep one of your stars who carried awhile away.
Jericho will likely face Max too at some stage in 2023. So having evert ex-champion face Max at some point would make sense here.
