Moxley could have suggested it...it takes the other guy to agree and do it. Lets be honest...if Punk did a Hogan here..."That doesn't work for me..brother.."

Khan would let Punk do what he would have wanted. Instead...Punk likes Moxley enough to work what we saw up. It takes 2 to tango out there. You need the power player (that being Punk) to work something like this.

So yes...I like Moxley. But jokes are Mox needs to stop bleeding every match as most seem to say this.

Obviously Punk agreed to do it. As you rightly pointed out, it takes two to tango.

If Punk was as "problematic" as people have suggested he wouldn't have agreed and would have most likely walked away (at least according to "dirt sheets" he already refused to lose to people).

The truth about issues like these is always in the middle. Yes, Punk is an ******* (that's already been established) but he's obviously NOT that big of an ******* to refuse to lose to Mox.

A lot of people on social media are too "married" to narratives. I was seeing some guy on youtube suggest that Punk went into business for himself in the match....and I was like..seriously???

Punk has that stigma due to walking out of WWE as we saw. That somehow he's an ass for that. But as I told one fan...Punk had a dangerous infection on his lower back misdiagnosed for months , was given wrong medication , forced to work with a sloppy guy who nearly hurt him at times , was never given a real fair shake due to a guys jealousy ( HHH) and was later sued by that company. So of course he'd be angry lol.

I saw people saying "This is punishment.." As well. Thinking that Punk is a mid or under card guy. Not realizing this was something both men worked up.

Punk agreed to the loss because he'd be protected via the foot injury and that would buy him Babyface heat at the PPV. Mox proposed working the foot for the PPV to really get the crowd going.

He's been boo'd the last 2 weeks. Just let him go heel ... This is terrible booking if the rematch ends clean.

It really sounds like Mox has the right idea and that this booking is going to lead to a heel turn. I hope so. Punk is so much better as a heel.

The happy to be here Punk has grown stale so quick. He needs a change

[SUPERECWFAN1]

It was Moxley's home town. Of course Punk got booed there. Its like Long Island where MJF is from.

I think this angle should have ran back in July honestly. You can have a month of Moxley taunting how he took out Punk then he learns...he plans to face him at the September PPV.

Again this company needs someone to help Khan book these angles. That to me is the biggest need is a veteran to sit with Khan and work up angles like this that can work...if you plot them well.

AEW is so good right now

Rosa was going to drop the title at All Out to Storm.

Now the chatter is Hayter will pin Baker.

I like that IMHO.

In talking about guys not getting along backstage ; Kid Kash was discussing Juventud Guerrera.

Kash brings up a PPV where Juvie as Cruiserweight Champion was to lose to him. That before they got to the venue Juvie was all excited about the match and plans for it.

Well they get there and the Juice is told he's gonna be dropping the title to Kash. Which as Kash joked ; Juvie turned white as a ghost.

He then comes over and tells Kash..."But Kash , how will the public accept me losing to you ?"

As Kash joked this was basically a near opening match. No one is gonna really care if he or Juvie won.

Hours pass as they try and plan this match. Backstage Benoit is watching this and he's not happy given how Juvie is acting.

"Kash...i want you to beat that motherf--- up tonight ! You heard me kick his f--- ass !!"

And Benoit repeated this several times. That Juvie was being disrespectful and was gonna tank the match.

Kash was worried he'd get in trouble. But he didn't realize Juvie's actions were ticking off the company.

So he legit goes out there and starts legit throwing shots once Juvie near slaps him in his private area. That if you watch its a stiff match. They met next night and Benoit ordered him to do it again to Juvie.

Eventually from what Kash claims the officials saw how Juvie was tanking the match at times and fired him.

Home state, not town. Moxley is from Cincinnati. The show was in Cleveland. They're not the same city. Ask any Browns or Bengals fan. That said, Punk is from Chicago and in Cleveland, they really hate anyone from Chicago.

Who do you guys think is going to be the frist IWGP Women's Champion?

I like that IMHO.

I don't--at least not in this context. Just because it will give Baker yet another front and center storyline for the belt. Baker/Hayter is a big storyline and a big feud without it being for the title. Meanwhile everyone else will continue to be sidelined.

Let Storm/Deeb or someone else carry the belt for awhile.

Ruby Soho is my pick

[Jcogginsa]

Ruby Soho is my pick

She's not in the match. It's Storm, Baker, Hayer, and Shida

[BeastieRunner]

Ruby Soho is my pick

Soho is not in the top 5. I think she fell out of the top 10 this week even with her win streak because they were in mixed tag and tag/trios matches.

Hayter and Shida aren't either but might have climbed this week because they had big wins on Dark, Elevation, and network shows. Plus Shida just won a belt in Japan but seems to be working a program. Nyla has been taking Ls, so she might've fallen out of the top 5. Anna Jay and Hart have been on win streaks, too.

She's not in the match. It's Storm, Baker, Hayer, and Shida

Going by current rankings, it should be Storm, Baker, Athena, and Anna Jay.
