I am assuming Page will make it to the final of this tournament...likely against Starks. No idea who they put over between the two both would make for a great first feud with MJF as champ. I would lean towards putting Page over and continue building sympathy for a babyface Starks.

Think Page makes sense because of the whole firm thing too. Imo Starks needs to hit the gym. Bulk up a bit. But him vs mjf would be great down the line just for the promos.
 
damn MJF said Jericho took his spotlight from him in his promo. Who woulda ever thunk that??????


Thoughts and prayers to the people who argued that with me. Looks like I’m not off on an island by myself!

Side note: They need to do more with Ethan Page, I think he’s got it all. Or at least bring in Josh Alexander and reunite The North (while releasing half the roster)
They seriously need to release so many god damn people. It's insane how bloated their roster is. Their website lists 106 active males and 29 active females.

Like, holy f***. That is WAY too many people. No wonder we see stupid stuff like Eddie Kingston looking like a million bucks one week only to be gone for like 4/5 weeks immediately after because there's no time for him.

So... they started a backstage brawl that costed the company their biggest star and they will get their belts back upon return? L...o...l
How long should they be held on the shelf for something they weren't in the wrong for before it would be acceptable? They spent 2 months at home were found to not be in the wrong, getting their belts back seems to be a logical next step. Or should they never get belts again because Punk is a child?

They should be reintroduced progressively, not get the title back right away.

They were not "in the right". Neither was Punk. Both parties acted like selfish imbeciles. Putting them back exactly where they were when they were rightfully punished seems counter productive. Match should at least be entertaining. Hopefully they show some humbleness and take the L, but I do not expect it.

The Elite should absolutely take the L Saturday. Even if they get Cole involved to interfere and cost them the match. Death Triangle need to get hot again. I expect the match to be insanity though.
Not buying the MJF face turn.
Nor am I. It’s not the time for it yet. Nor is Moxley the right opponent for it. This feud has fallen flat to me
 
I don't like the idea of The Elite getting the titles back right away but I can't imagine them losing their first match back. Death Triangle are so bad ass and should have a longer reign.

This is the second time a Mox/MJF feud has sucked.
 
Death Triangle can have great matches however the title reign, must like other AEW title reigns in recent times, has fallen flat. There were trios matches galore leading up to the trios title announcement and the tournament then once Death Triangle won the vacated titles days after All Out they mostly disappeared and trios matches have virtually disappeared. They won the titles Sept 7, had a match Oct 7, Oct 18 (again against Best Friends) and Nov 16 which was for the sole purpose of revealing The Elite returning at Full Gear. There were some singles matches sprinkled in and they're teasing/working up to something with Pac and the other two not being on the same page, but it has been a meh title reign. Maybe it was injury(ies), maybe it's having too many titles/wrestlers and spreading TV time around, maybe purposely ignored to not remind people The Elite are missing, bad booking, whatever, but their reign has been a huge heaping of meh.
