I think whatever is coming up for Storm is cosmic in nature, and adult Cable is also a part of it. Whatever it is, we should find out soon in the August solicits.
I am hoping for cosmic storm and i am hoping its controversial as all hell. I want to see the scarlet witch discussions change into one where people are just moaning about how storm can be so powerful in space. I want her amazing showcase to trigger all the non believers. I want cats and dogs living together. Real wrath of mutants type of stuff.
Reading the individual issues I didn't like it so much with the padding and the stunt they pulled with the recycled art in Hickman's issues. And yeah I'm one of those fans that wanted to see more actual fighting in the tournament. That said after reading the story again in the hardcover I actually liked it a lot more. So with the gala I'm going in with no real expectations and hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
It is not really an "event", It is just a crossover. It grew out of Marauders writer going " I am doing a big party in my book do you guys want to do anything". Then most of the writers going "hey that is a cool idea let me do something in my book". This grew into something big because the X-men writers have level communication that didn't happen in the past. This is the X-men franchise flexing it is a shared world, nothing big is going to happen because it is not an event but a bunch of books acknowledging that is in the same world. You wish this level of shared world was sustainable all the time. This "event" is the answer to a question like "Hey why didn't Spiderman show up to Falcon in New York" in this case it is " The X-men is throwing a party, what is everyone doing".
As company and line, they got to milk it as something bigger with advertising and gimmicks but at its heart, it is just a bunch of writers who talk to each other cooperating with each other. If the whole of Marvel communicated this way we would be happier with comics I mean would be asking why "didn't the Avengers" all the time.

It’s not an event or a crossover. Its an extravaganza.
