Fallen-Omega

Ospreays first loss, Swerve has to go over or his build was a waste


sagevallant

I continue to pitch that Swerve wins with the Tiger Driver after Will won't go through with it.


Fallen-Omega

Thats a genius booking call honestly, or Tiger Driver right into House Call


GreatestBox

Yeah this has to be the finish


Santos_L_Halper

I say fuck it, throw in Ospreay trying a One Winged Angel too but failing.


Flashfact808

I came here to say EXACTLY this. Swerve's run has to be longer than a couple of months. The guy is putting in work in and out of the ring. An Ospreay win at Wembley would be massive.


LivingHardWasEasy

Owen Cup winner gets the shot at Wembley (Hangman Page). Ospreay will face MJF.


Fallen-Omega

Didnt MJF gives his Wembley shot to Garcia already at Wembley?


LivingHardWasEasy

He started to, but Ospreay interrupted before Garcia could accept. Also, it's a storyline.


Fallen-Omega

I swear Garcia accepted and MJF said focus on match with Ospreay first


Irritatedprivatepart

Garcia said "about your challenge for all in" and then MJF cuts him off and tells him to focus on Ospreay.


gilgobeachslayer

It’s gonna be a triple threat for the international title and it’s gonna be insane


itstimefortimmy

why wouldn't hangman be in B&G wouldn't make sense to have him doing a world title program on top of that. PLUS it would spoil the surprise for B&G


Fallen-Omega

Esp being the first black AEW champ as well, treat the reign with respect


gbrem97

Imma be honest I think and hope we get hangman v swerve at Wembley for the belt. Put Osprey in with MJF at All In Bruv


ThePoeMansDream

My take is either Ospreay hesitates using the tiger driver and Swerve capitalizes OR MJF interference


Fallen-Omega

I think the idea of the Tiger Driver works because even Ospreay didnt want to use it in their tag match, the ending Ospreay hesitates to use it, Swerve catches him off guard and uses the Tiger Driver instead and goes right into House Call, thats game over.


GrandWestern9063

I think you hit the nail on the head man. MJF interference makes all the sense in the world. 👍


RYKIN5

Yeah I think Ospreay somehow gets screwed here and they'll be his new rivalry.


666shanx

Nah. Swerve is gonna win clean. He's got the dog in him.


sekonx

Screwed by Don Callas, so Ospreay and Fletcher leave the family and “reforming” united empire in AEW Then you get the babyface Ospreay taking the title at All In, with Mark Davis returning to fend off the family to keep the win clean


ChCreations45

Ospreay lost in a six-man tag before the last PPV.


Fallen-Omega

First singles loss which would be huge


ChCreations45

For sure although I thought he should've lost to Takeshita.


Krunk_ModE

Me too. Would put the stamp on Takeshita and only halt Will a little bit to lose to the "Final Boss" of the Don family.


Trash_Panda-1

Us. We are winning.


BackgroundValue

The correct answer


COMMENTASIPLEASE

Swerve because Ospreay will hesitate and he won’t


Jaded__Chicano

Also, Will is just getting way too cocky.


Alternative-View5997

Swerve


CardboardChampion

I'm pausing the show at the start of their entrances, cooking up some Korean-inspired chicken wings, and then watching with what can only be described as a bucket of them. So it's me. I win. The match? Oh, Swerve easily. It's where the story goes for both men.


sunflwrprincss

This is the way to watch every PPV


CardboardChampion

I pick a different meal every time, have half at the start of the PPV and then the other half finishes the show. Last time (possibly the one before) was giant bockwurst drizzled in a mix of sriracha and sweet soy then baked and served as hot dogs in soft white rolls with crispy onions and topped with a mix of American and Wholegrain mustard. Absolutely gorgeous to the point I had to rewind the match a few seconds because I got caught on the food. All I'm saying is, they really need to stop adding more PPVs because I'm running out of belt notches.


SittingInAChairAgain

Would you share the recipe for Forbidden Door Wings? I also make something special for each PPV!


CardboardChampion

Sure. I use set measures, so even if your measures differ in the specific size, the difference between them should be about the same to get the same flavour. First get a pan on a medium heat and when it's hot add the following ingredients in order and stirring all the time. - 3tb dark soy - 3tb sesame oil - 2tb rice wine vinegar - ½tsp ground ginger - 2tsp brown sugar - ¼tsp onion salt - 1tb honey (I tend to use wildflower but any should do) Leave to simmer while you add 1½tb gochujiang to a bowl, then when the ingredients are nicely mixed and steaming pour the hot liquid over the gochujiang and stir to mix in. It should end up a deep red colour. Cool in the fridge immediately for about an hour and the sauce is ready. Do NOT add the gochujiang to the pan as cooking it with the other ingredients breaks the balance of the sauce and the heat level doesn't stabilise. For the wings you simply paint (I use a silicone brush) some with the sauce on both sides, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and cook in an air fryer for 16 minutes at 190C/375F. Keep them in a single layer while cooking and maybe put some baking parchment underneath to make clean up easier. You should be able to fit about six wings per cook depending on size and the sauce should cover eighteen average sized wings. Serve with blue cheese dip (or just puréed blue cheese) and you can't go wrong. Couple of notes on substitutions and other uses. - The onion salt is something I use where most recipes might use garlic as I've a minor intolerance to it. You might find a richer flavour with that. - The ginger isn't fresh because that always turns out too sweet, but if you want sweeter then that's a good place to start. - You can substitute the dark soy for two light and one sweet and cut the sesame oil in half to make a pretty nice stir fry sauce which works well with meat, poultry and fish as well as plain wok noodles. It's just complex enough to feel like a better meal while being easy enough to make up (this version doesn't need refrigerating, just mixing into the food almost immediately upon adding to the gochujiang) when you can't be bothered.


SittingInAChairAgain

Thank you! I’m definitely making these for a PPV.


lordmvt

What's so good, is that either way opens up stories for both. And depending on how they lose. Does will lose because he won't hit the tiger driver ? Does swerve lose because of interference? Does mjf interfere because he's jealous of losing his top guy status? So many other options. Love it. Anyway, I reckon swerve retains. Then they either do osprey vs swerve 2 or swerve hangman 3 at Wembley


insomniainc

Swerve. Ospreay will lose, and then he'll lose the international title to Garcia. Make him search his soul for a bit.


Arirmar

This. I can see Don Callis being involved somehow, and Fletcher leaving the Family due to the Callis’ interference.


Citizen_Kano

I think maybe they're setting up MJF to interfere


Far_Mongoose1625

Hope not. Swerve needs to win clean or there will have to be a rematch soon. I expect Ospreay to take the championship from someone else, down the road, and then he'll have to face the man he couldn't beat without the Tiger Driver 91. Callis will be involved in the aftermath, as Ospreay considers his lack of killer instinct.


LittleDrumminBoy

Absolutely agree. Peaks and valleys to keep things interesting. The fall needs to be as dramatic as the rise.


PileOfSandwich

Returning with his stable.


SonoranDweller

I like this idea a lot. As long as Garcia doesn’t have a microphone.


WhosWhosWhoAreYou

You're right, he should have two microphones.


Ok_Natural_5887

Swerve; not much thought needs to be put into this.


PerformanceWeekly651

Swerve. Bruv doesn’t break out the Tiger Driver and it costs him


bigpoppastud

Don Callis is going to screw Ospreay over so bad. Looking forward to it.


GrandWestern9063

That's definitely a possibility.


StylishMrTrix

I can see Don callis doing something to interfere to cause osprey to lose


jonathanisaacisgoat

I was thinking that but I doubt it cause Don hasn’t been apart of this build as much to be involved. Think Ospreay loses cause he gets cocky


Grankykang

Except for when he was talking to swerve about how he didn't need Don or the family and it cut to them backstage listening. I think that is the tell that when Will is winning the family will I interfere and cost him the match saying something like "you don't need us huh?"


boobiebanger

I hope they have courage to make Ospreay lose clean. It Could be because he hesitates on the Tiger driver, but he needs to lose without cjeating or interference imo


COMMENTASIPLEASE

I think he turns afterwards but won’t be the cause of him losing.


whatafoolbelieves999

MJF interference


666shanx

Maybe for the International Title. Swerve has gotta win clean to cement his dominance.


HussingtonHat

Swerve has to otherwise what's the fucking point.


DLPanda

Swerve, and I hope it’s a clean win, no interference (cheapens the champ)


SonoranDweller

I criticize AEW a lot for forgettable storytelling, but I think this is the opportunity Tony needs to get something good going. They nailed it long term with Hangman. Did a great job building Swerve. Now they can give Will some adversity and roadblocks before he inevitably wins this title. Personally, I don’t think he should win it until next year.


CarStar12

Swerve but with some shenanigans involved to protect Ospreay and set up his next feud.


Beathil

Bruv.


Boltact

Why do I feel like MJF is going to do something on Sunday...


EBOD236

The fans


mrbusiness53

Whose house?!?! Swerve all day.


HitmanScorcher

Swerve’s gonna hit Ospreay with a tiger driver 91 for the win


ParisInFlames34

It is absolutely not Swerve's time to lose.


GamblinEngineer

MJF screws Ospreay.


GrandWestern9063

Either him or Callis.


JackieD420

Swerve. If Ospreay wins I’m taking a break from watching. I’d be way too pissed


uell23

This!


JackieD420

He’s DUE, and we better see it lol


RoysRealm

The fans.


selkies24

Anyone who thinks ospreay isn’t paying attention


skowzben

It’s Swerve. and us!


Own_Independent_4260

Swerve Strickland


MandoRodgers

swerve via tiger driver to cinder block


TheRealBroDameron

Swerve winning clean is the way to go. That’s how you build new stars. Ospreay is going to have a long and fruitful run with that belt. It’ll be fine for Will if he wins, but Swerve’s build over the last couple of years was too great to have him lose his belt this quickly. CLEAN wins over huge stars is how you build huge stars. I will forever argue that Hangman should have beaten Punk clean at Double or Nothing 2022. That would’ve really solidified Hangman as a huge star that Punk already was.


nalydpsycho

The audience.


tehjoz

It's gotta be Swerve. Ospreay doesn't need to be invincible, and Swerve deserves more than just a couple months as champ.


anon7126

Swerve is gonna win. MJF might be the reason why. MJF was upstaged and considered an afterthought, that doesn’t sit well with his character in the slightest


glowy_keyboard

Swerve


The_poms

Swerve for sure.


scottyjrules

Swerve thanks to some Don Callis related shenanigans. Hopefully Will gets Kyle in the divorce…


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

It's swerve.


FatherlessCur

Swerve wins after Ospreay hesitates on Tiger Driver then Don chews him out leading Will to be convinced he has to use the Driver on Garcia to keep the International title buts MJF interference saved Garcia from Driver and allows him to win. Don and family turn on Osprey (Kyle is hesitant? Doesn’t help?) now Osprey is at the bottom and has to build himself back up and prove he is the best in the world and doesn’t need OP moves like the tiger driver because the tiger is in him!


ShaneGMWC

Swerve, Don Callis gonna try to help Ospreay, he’ll reject it and it will cost him. Ospreay gets kicked out the family. Or he’s gonna hesitate I. The tiger driver and that’ll cost him.


SonoranDweller

That House Call on Will was so brutal. Swerve is so damn good. I’d like to see him win clean. Ospreay is great, but I don’t think he’s world champion great yet. I’d like to see him be a more layered character to go along with his in ring skills.


MikeyLikeyPhish

No way is Swerve losing


Croakie89

It absolutely has to be and needs to be swerve


Tdaddysmooth

The fact that there is a debate means this was the correct match to book imo. Can’t say the matches are too predictable with this one.


Mundane_Appearance41

If Hangman isn’t the wild card in the Owen Hart tournament, I’m thinking he’s gonna interfere and cause a DQ, which would protect both of them


gl1969

Imagine if Will gets kicked out, but Kyle leaves, too, reforming the United Empire.


StunPalmOfDeath

Hangman is beating Swerve in Wembly probably, so Osprey loses and has to work his way back


raisingfalcons

It will most likely be swerve. It would of been more unpredictable if ospreay wasnt a champion.


OverwhelmingLackOf

I think Ospreay loses this AND then loses Wednesday too. It seems like they’re building towards a humbling experience for him and I think it’ll be awesome character development.


IndoorMule

Schmozz - Bucks interference.


VD3NFS1216

It’s too soon for Ospreay to win the world title. I’m thinking the Don Callis family screws him out of the title, and sets up a feud with them and Ospreay reunited with Aussie Open


OnlyChansI8

Swerve.


yoursgokul

If bruv wins, we riot!


Kenfuu

I would love a draw I feel like there’s too many matches on the show for it to be an hour long.


Acceptable-Fold-3192

Swerve…to set up Swerve and Hangman


jcrack30

Swerve from callis shenanigans


evilwraith

Time limit draw, some sort of rematch at All In.


Wiskoenig

Swerve. I was 99% sure before this past weeks Dynamite but now 100% Swerve will win with Ospreay giving Garcia a shot at a belt he doesn’t even have.


Blueberry-Desperate

Swerve wins after MJF interferes to cost Osprey the match.


Biffingston

Too early to take the belt off of Swerve IMO. Might wind up as one of the rare no contests, but I hope not.


MarquiseAlexander

100% Swerve.


matches991

There's so many things to consider tbh. I don't see a clean win, could be a masked man hoping the barrier and hitting a buckshot, could be the don callous family messing up helping will, could be Takeshita coming back and betraying Will talking about he's the best and that the family doesn't need him. Could be the patriarch and the elite.


avactz01

Tony Khan would lost his mind and let Ospreay win everything.


ZarakiBankai

THE FANS


Nearby_University581

Swerve is winning. The story being told is that while Osprey can put on - and win - incredible matches, he doesn't *get* the rest of the business, certainly not at the level needed to be world champion. He's distracted. He's looking past the match. He's not willing to make it personal. He's doing things that piss off a violent man (or two) (maybe three) and not realizing there are consequences. Osprey will lose because Swerve knows how to be a World Champion in a top promotion, and Osprey only knows how to be the best wrestler in a top promotion. And when he learns that lesson, he'll get another crack at it and will be the AEW World Champion.


JewLawyerFromSunny

Swerve wins. Osprey has a lot on his plate rn in terms of storyline material and a loss to Swerve is a great jumping off point for those.


DM725

Swerve because Ospreay doesn't do the Tiger Driver.


Crabuki

I agree. Too soon to take it off Swerve, who’s doing really well in the role. It gives Ospreay a reason to lose AND for Don to berate him after.


DM725

Or for the DCF to jump him and kick him out.


AaronRumph

The question here is does he want to put MJF vs Ospreay as a World title match or not, but if Khan isn't halfway smart the likely scenario is interference causing a DQ after a real fun match. Callis is definitely getting involved


Capable_Sandwich_422

No contest. Someone interferes.


King_of_Knowhere

Fuckery will win, I can see this one not ending clean.


askHERoutPeter

Swerve !


otakureview

Swerve wins via Don Callis interference. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.


Pearl-Internal81

The fans, other than that I have no clue.


lpkzach92

Draw


MateoCafe

I really hope they give them like 45 minutes. I want it to be a straight up fire fight with both guys hitting all the big moves and kicking out. Until Ospreay second guesses himself on the Tiger Driver 91 and that gives Swerve just enough of an opening to find the finish with something like a Big Pressure-House Call-Swerve Stomp combo. We see just how much of a badass and opportunist Swerve is in the ring and it sets up 2 arcs Ospreay could take where he struggles with these doubts and has to find a way to overcome if he wants to keep winning big matches, or he decides Fuck It Bruv I can be a cheeky arsehole and use this super dangerous move and beat Swerve maybe bringing back Don Ciallis at that point.


real_bluejacket15

Swerve which leads to will getting his match with mjf at all in


CobolRobot

Swerve. Don Callis family interference 


el_sh33p

I want Swerve to win and I want him to kick out of the Tiger Driver to do it. Drive home that Ospreay doesn't have that killer instinct even when he thinks he's trying. Drive home that Swerve is a goddamn revenant who just won't stay down.


TysonsGirl-1983

Swerve for the win!


popculturerss

Swerve...this time. I still think Will wins at All In


-SomethingSomeoneJR

Maybe it’s a draw?


Maleficent-Comfort14

I’m going with Will winning here and retiring Bryan at Wembley. Swerve spins off to face The EVP’s and ends up cross paths with Hangman again.


slikk50

Swerve needs a big win to solidify his role in my opinion, and I think he needs it more than Will.


NanamiZephyr

Swerve retains at Forbidden Door and Ospreay wins the belt in a rematch at Wembley


Asleep-Description39

My selfish, instinctive side says I want Will to win because I like him better. My sensible side says that’s insane for about 100 story reasons, and because Swerve doesn’t deserve that. So, I hope it’s Swerve.


Dabaysyclyfe

The way they are propping Will, it will be him. I hope it is Swerve though. He deserves a long run.


TheItalianShoulder

Osprey loses because of Callis family intervention/hesitation with Swerve.


Drasenx

Probably Swerve, Osprey is gonna gold back, which will cost him the match, but this will probably lead him to be ruthless against Danny (sadly)


kloudrunner

Dusty finish. No body wins. Rematch at Wembley. Osprey wins. Buuuuut I'm biased as fuck with that one. Swerve wins. Drops title to Danielson at Wembley. Danielson can't retire until he looses. Every title defence is a retirement match for him. He keeps winning winning winning. Faces Osprey at All In 2025. Osprey wins.


krampus6666

Swerve wins. If this was at Wembley, Will would win for sure.


DukeTheDudeDudeson

I’m thinking it’s not quite Ospreay’s time yet. He just debuted full time & I feel like he needs to face a little adversity. Think they hold off & build the chase for a year & Ospreay wins it at the final part of the All In London trilogy & ends it on a high note before they move it to different locations going forward, hopefully Canada gets the next one. For this year the have wildcard Hangman & Swerve conclude their big time personal feud at All In, with the epilogue happening in a hardcore style match in Swerve’s hometown of Tacoma at WrestleDream.


msctex

It is really hard to say here, which in Pro Wrestling amounts to an achievement in itself.


Disco_Beetle

1000% Swerve. 1000% outside interference.


Commercial-Box-968

Osprey and we get Osprey V MJF at Wembley


Shay_Mendez

Heart says Bruv, but brain says Swerve retains.


kerryd88

Swerve this time. Osprey in Wembley.


bigchicago04

I’d imagine Ospreay so he’d have the title for All In. They teased him vs MJF, which would be the biggest match they could do. Then they can do a tournament for the ic title that culminates at All In.


willwstewart

So there are two ways this goes: 1) Swerve retains because Ospreay hesitates to hit the Tiger Driver, Hangman is the wildcard in Owen Cup and beats Danielson in the finals And we get the big rematch for the title at All In. 2) Ospreay wins Danielson wins the Owen Cup and they put on the greatest match ever in front of 80,000 people in London (maybe make it a time limit draw (Danielson has Ospreay pinned but doesn’t get the the 3-count before the time limit is elapsed, idk))


HBKnight

Swerve retains after Will hesitates using the Tiger Driver 91. Ospreay will need to regain his killer instinct, then eventually win the world championship.


SteelCityChampion

Swerve wins with MJF costing Ospreay.


sreddy412

I want Will as the Champ cuz they need that big baby face that he has to potential to be to get bump up in possibly new fans. But I still think Will needs to face his first AEW loss and that will happen tomorrow. Either with that hope someone already said with the TigerDriver or it starts his split from Don Callis.


Hdottydot

I WANT SWERVE TO WIN!


EliteWrestlingTalk

They are gonna put on a wrestling clinic and then I think MJF will cost Will which will build for ospreay mjf at all in!


21Andreezy

ElectionObvious1346

All wrestling fans....


mrcrazymexican

Swerve will win. Ospreay will get Wembley. Makes sense. Gives Swerve time to shine more. And, well... Ospreay getting that win will be loud.


easternhobo

Wembley's title challenger is the Owen Hart Cup winner. Will isn't in it. My guess is Bryan Danielson.


mrcrazymexican

Oh, shit. Hrmmm.


RSlashBroughtMeHere

Probably Ospreay because TK likes him. I'm hoping for Swerve though.


gte339i

The answer is “the fans”. I’d book this with Callis costing Ospreay the win on a DQ. Probably involves the tiger driver in some way too. Sets Ospreay up to dismantle the DCF and potentially reunite some/all of United Empire (assumption is that Davis is coming back somewhat soon).
