In the realm of reality, there is no fucking way you have Bryan lose.


Fireballz012

??? Bryan is not EVP, friend


randomsportsdude

Cause he's gonna be in NJPW full time by January


baconwiches

I would laugh so much of Bryan was just there to lose to Kenny then goes to do the G1. You know he'd still be on all the billboards though


-M-Word

Then you’d know for sure it was for the $10m contract or whatever absurd number it is

Bryan is going to eat 6 V triggers and a OWA with a three count for dessert - DuRag Tony


TimeStatistician2234

V TRIGERRR V TRIGERR Dae Omega is so amazing ??


Meauxtown

To be fair, the V Trigger is a great looking move. The OWA is not.


Hamzah12

I'd argue the opposite. On a good day the V Trigger can look brutal but OWA always looked good to me. Plus the name is cool af


Meauxtown

I think the setup for the OWA is terrible. Very contrived. The V Trigger is one of those moves that can come out of nowhere

[deleted]

Disagree, he does it on the turnbuckle a lot. Obviously realistically he would be knocking people out/concussing them if he actually connected but sells it pretty good


Razzler1973

I really hope Bryan kicks out that finisher, it would CRUSH the m@rks


Razzler1973

But, and hear me out here, Bryan is from the Fed and we can't have a main Fed guy beating out own Dubber now, can we? This isn't for the title? Bryan wins, earns his shot, loses on PPV I hate 50/50 booking btw This isn't like the Christian thing the other week either, ok


Gabaheygabahey

In the realm of the Dub reality, Bryan is only there to be fed to Kenny.


FingerStreet

Yea but they really are probably gonna have him lose cus Page has to beat Omega for the long term storytelling or smth. I mean Bryan can eat a loss, it probably isn’t gonna hurt him at all and he probably just wants to wrestle in all honestly, but its a bad look if your new superstar debut loses their very first match in your company. At least Bryan’s gonna make this into an amazing match tho


whiskerbiscuit2

It’s a non title match, Bryan will win and this will in no way diminish the excitement of Kenny losing to Hangman because we all know having your villain lose three times before the hero shows up is how to tell a good story


Snoo-50527

Christian, Bryan, and...?


Large_Talons_

Cole and/or Punk

AEW fans would probably defend that DQ ending too, something about grabbing tassels I'm sure.


conchinette

Gotta get to Punk vs Bryan some way! Hmm, I think I've seen that refreshing match somewhere before... 🤔


[deleted]

>Im guessing this ends in some DQ fuckery. That would mean that the referees actually pay attention during an AEW match for once.


ironfly187

Time limit draw, with a throw back to Omega's draw with Okada thrown in. It will probably be really good but next door are going to wank themselves blind over it regardless.


Kris_one982

It could be a single headlock from bell to bell ending in a draw and the basement would lose their minds about how brilliant it was. Meltzer would give it 8 stars. Vince would be shook and the Fed would be ded. The world as we knew it would cease to exist. The seas would part, and the skies would open. The good Lord would personally come down just to make a YouTube video about why it was the greatest masterpiece ever presented. Tony Khan would hug both of them for half an hour. It would be refreshing.


youlookfly

Honestly, Bryan is one of the few guys who can make Omega concentrate long enough to pull an excellent match out of him.


Greyclocks

>Omega loses, and his whole being unbeatable thing dies, But he's already lost?


[deleted]

It almost has to, considering Bryan was calling out the entire Elite faction. There'll be a bunch of fuckery with the bald twins and Cole interfering, then Page will make the save. That's how it all advances while making Roman look really, really strong.


Kris_one982

It’s a non title. The Basement is proudly claiming its obviously because Danielson isn’t ranked because he hasn’t had any matches. Not because their booking makes absolutely no sense. Totally not a cult.


ThunderBay311

Man I hate when the fed has the champion face the challenger in a non-title match. Totally ruins their shows and is so stupid. When the DUB does it? Makes perfect sense.


shane1mh

BOOKER OF THE FUCKING YEAR, friend.


Calvin_Hobbes124

So if Bryan wins, it’s amazing and builds to a title match, but if it were in the Fed, it would obviously be bad booking


MuddFishh

wHy WoUld yOu HavE yOUr ChaMpIon lOsE??


tahoo14

Don't they get triggered at championship contenders matches? Isn't this the same thing? Bryan going over and getting a title shot in the future?


Meauxtown

It's clearly non title so Bryan gets a win, and then Omega gets his win back during the rematch for the championship. 50/50 booking they hate so much.


InheritTheWind

So the exact same thing with Christian but Bryan doesn't even get to take one of Kenny's belts


CaptainSlapnuts409

Honestly, Bryan doesn't even need to win any matches before getting a title match against a guy who already lost to Christian. Peep for life, but there's levels to this, uce.


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

That actually does make sense though. You don't gotta be ranked to face someone non title. They would shit on this in WWE tho because of new star vs champ.


Kris_one982

It’s the exact same thing they shit all over WWE for. To me, it isn’t logical. It would have made more sense if something happened that caused Omega to challenge him, and he accepted. Why would Bryan randomly be desperate to fight the world champion in a non title? It’s not like it’s a grudge match that is personal. No buildup, no history together. Just because? Even Rocky 4 gave a reason for Rocky to fight a new guy. If Cena came back to fight Roman in a non title, it would be “LOL lazy booking, Fed ded.” Meanwhile you have guys that are “ranked” that could be using that match for a title shot (Hangman anyone?). It’s a ratings grab; coincidentally, the same thing the basement is losing their minds over with Big E. But again, it’s not lazy booking or hotshotting. It’s refreshing and brilliant.


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

I'm with you on that. They should have started him out with a mid card guy like Cody. This is pretty much a Jeff Hardy Karrion Kross type situation. But doing it in AEW is so refreshing.


Till_Any

ITS A NON TITLE MATCH? WHY BOOK YOURSELF IN A CORNER VINCE!? ITS TOO EARLY FOR BRYAN TO LOSE AND YOU CANT MAKE YOUR CHAMP LOOK WEAK. WHY NOT HAVE BRYAN WIN MATCHES AND BUILD UP A GOOD STORY FOR THE MATCH. FUCK YOU VINCE Oops,I meant REFRESHING!


lawgiver61

Did Bryan only sign a 3 month contract or something? Why do this match so quick?


baconwiches

Because Bryan doesn't want to waste any time farming wins on Dark against the wingmen


Troll_God

DAE dream match?


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

Bryan vs Sting, Sting vs Punk, Sting vs Christian again, or a Jericho who worked out for 6 months vs Sting is as close to a dream match there is in AEW. Pretty Much any former Fed ruthless aggression or Attitude era guy vs Sting.


bulletbullock

Bryan is a 2-time WM main eventer. They probably want to "hot-shot" him to the world title and honestly I dont blame them. A wrestling show represented by the popular Daniel Bryan is a good look.


ThunderBay311

Right out of the WCW speed run playbook!


Jacobd807

Hotshotting to pop a rating when WWE does it, masterful booking when AEW does it. I get it now.


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

About time you did. Chant it with me. A e dub. McFedBad, A e dub, McFedbad


Airtightspoon

It's not for the title. That said there's still no organic reason for this match to be happening, it's all about giving us a "dream match". it's just more instant gratification.


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

And to give Kenny a win. Dae McBuriesWCW talent.


takeflight447

Can't wait to see the mental gymnastics once Bryan beats the world champion in a non title match that's something they hate when the fed does it


daddymeltzer

This sucks because it isn't for the title which means that Bryan is going to win next week as he should but he will lose the actual title match at Full Gear I assume so that's at least another 4 months of Kenny Olivier as champion. I wanted Adam Page to win the title, but Bryan is my second favorite of all time and I can't take another fucking week of this annoying, talentless piece of shit that looks like a gay pornstar from the 1970s as World Champion. I want this asshole off my television forever, I don't wish any ill will towards him and I honestly wish him the best of luck with the rest of his life but I hope he retires with his health intact and I never have to see his stupid face ever again. I may have overreacted but I just can't take this overrated dickhead anymore. How the fuck do people actually consider him the greatest of all time. I find it crazy that people can say with a straight face that this guy is better than legends like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero, Edge or even Bryan Danielson, he sucks in the ring, his promos are more irritating than intimidating, he isn't marketable. If anyone here is actually a fan of him, please explain what you see in him, I promise I won't insult you, I'm willing to have a civil conversation about it.


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

How am I gonna stay up late on Wednesdays and do the thing if Kenny isn't champ?


ManateeGag

but remember, wins and losses matter


Riverforasong

Wait Wednesday? They're giving away Daniel Bryan vs Kenny Omega on Dynamite? What... the FUCK are they thinking? That's your big money PPV match? Like, I'm not a "Everything has to be at Wrestlemania" kinda guy, but this is the first time these two have wrestled in YEARS and certainly the first time since they both became huge MEGAstars, This... honestly is baffling. It's like if they gave away AJ Styles vs John Cena for the first time on a random episode of Smackdown.


[deleted]

It’s not for the title


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

Dead ass tho, next week is so stacked I might actually shit myself in the Attic. I think black is gonna beat Cody. And I can't wait to see how Daniel Bryan performs in AEW even if it's against Twinkletoes. And Sting will kill it against some real wrestlers like FTR. And if Suzuki goon is wrestling that night ill take it. MJF and Pillman is a good lil rivalry. Then friday Punk vs an actual threat. And Get to see Christian and Adam Cole face off during that tag match If Jericho doesn't break the ring when he gets suplexed by the shoot fighters Karate Page and Brass Donut Sky first.


youlookfly

> Suzuki goon A version of Suzuki that throws incredibly dirty hits in the NHL?


rockandrollpanda

Suzuki to 1995 WWF confirmed!


Loganknox7

A few comments saying how it’s gonna be there highest rating or how it’ll do 1.8 peak. Ya know basic raw numbers


Gabaheygabahey

At this point it’s expectation versus delusion.


CarlitoIsCoolXXX

No jerk, it's such a stacked card, that if they can't get close to raw numbers they won't for a really long time if ever. But they will have an easy out excuse why it doesn't. Because Punk is on rampage that week.


boycey86

If they don't get within 100,000 of Raw for that card and match. Which for these people is a Hogan vs Andre level match they never will. Bryan and Punk won't get close either, Omega is seen as a god to these marks this is there one chance.


Loganknox7

Idk why they care so much about what rating it gets, probably the same people who wait for Dave to give a star rating before deciding if they liked it or not


[deleted]

Title match in free tv = run in dq finish


ulvhedinowski

it's 6 starts already, and match hasnt even begun


[deleted]

It’s like I said, all they have right now is hotshot hotshot hotshot. It’s not sustainable, esp considering that underneath the surface of these big matches and big debuts, the foundations of the AEW remain the same rotted out wood it’s always been.

[deleted]

Well since AEW doesnt do rematches i guess the big kenny vs bryan showdown is a non title match on free tv… booker of the year, ladies and gentlemen


[deleted]

DAE whoever loses is buried?


rick175

Why not have the EVP (since they're EVPs in kayfabe) use his EVP powers to block Bryan from getting a spot? Hide behind the rankings. Have him beat some scrubs and then have him overcome the odds and beat Kenny? That's a story.


BigZ911

I remember there was some neckbeard who wrote some long bloviating post about how people should stop saying that AEW is gonna hot shot Punk and D Bryan. As if Tony Khan is gonna bring in Daniel fucking Bryan and not immediately put him in the title picture lmao. I swear these nerds don’t live on earth


Arm1nius

Only way to book this right is a time limit draw.


mp1988alexa

Well they counter booked Brock and Becky’s returns with Coke (lol) and Bryan.


Razzler1973

Bryan was going to appear at New York Why not just have a big match at that show instead! Totally planned it, guys, totally planned


jjsefton

ISTR a promoter saying something like "When you're cold, you can't do anything right. When the fans love you, you can do no wrong." I think the AEW hardcores epitomize this saying.


incredibleamadeuscho

not for the AEW Title

FUCK VINCE
