Mercedes Monet shows up and makes her presence known to the AEW women's champ
Luchasaurus wins the 20 man battle Royale, cashes in tonight and depending who he beats for it, effectively holds the belt for Christian Or reunites with Jungleboy
-Devil is unmasked, it is the very evil version of Danhausen who will play a Jekyll and Hyde character one is our very nice very evil, the other is more akin to the phantom of the opera terrorizing others from behind the scenes. (Yeah not happening but I wouldn't mind seeing it)
-We see some surprise free agents in the 20 man battle Royale
MJF
Storm
Kingston
Christian
Julia
Swerve
Andrade
Danielson, Claudio, Briscoe, and Garcia
Nobody because this match should be Ricky and Bill vs a different tag team for the titles but Jericho can't let anything not be about him so we all have to suffer instead
Guevara eat shit for his team. It is my theory that the original plan was to have Kenny eat the pin anyway, possibly due to Jeircho being a bitch and costing them the match.
Andrade, but frankly who gives a shit.
We do see the finger, and the wedding ring is still on.
This is some weird ass foreplay for both the characters and the people involved, and I'm not interested.
Swerve
A cinderblock will be involved for sure, it's sorta becoming Swerve's signature weapon.
Switchbalde + brody + rush + lethal
Garcia eats it, he is visibly upset about eating shit again. hints towards joining BCC.
Christian
Definitely at least 2 tables
I'd assume the pre-show battle royale will be won by Nick Wayne, setting up a betrayal reminiscent of Cage's on JB.
We might even see the return of Jungle Boy
I am pretty sure this story is not about Cage and Copeland, but about Luchasaurus and Wayne
Hart
I wouldn't have the interference happen, if Hart can't convincingly beat Abadon who has literally never amounted to jack shit beyond the occasional spooky match she has no real path forwards. Wins and losses matter, etc.
Moxley
They do hug
I could see cases for both Mox and Eddie to win, but BCC has been eating shit this last few weeks, Eddie beat both Claudio and Bryan, Yuta isn't winning the FTW championship in the pre-show, so Mox being the lone winner would be a way to at least protect the stable a bit, otherwise Eddie would have literally beat every one of them in ascending order of standing.
It also makes sense to not immediately have Eddie win the triple crown he wants now that it's been established as his next goal. Run it back next year.
But also, I hope I am wrong and Eddie has his perfect night in his hometown even if it makes for a less compelling story. It's real to him, and thus to me.
Storm
I'd say 2 shoes, one each. Riho is not above matching shenanigans.
Riho is not winning for sure, this is either a setup for Sakazaki's return or Moné's debut in AEW.
MJF
Adam accompanies him.
I already detailed this last point in a different post but the devil is unmasked tonight, and it's Kyle O'Reilly.
Joe wins (due to Devil shenanigans; may or may not reveal the Devil to be Adam Cole during the PPV); OR MJF retains and the Devil is revealed to be Cole and it sets up a long feud
Storm retains, Mercedes makes her presence known
Moxley wins, because Kingston's character works better as the underdog little guy trying his best, Moxley does more NJPW dates
Adam Copeland wins, somehow makes it a Brodie Lee reference
Julia Hart retains, Abadon goes back into hiding until they need her again for a small run around Halloween 2024
Jay White's team wins the 8-man, but the star of the match is Garcia
Swerve wins, becomes super hot tweener
Miro wins, awaiting the next "client" he'll have to fight
Sting's team wins because it's a double feel-good being Sting's (probably) second-last match, and AEW's latest attempt at trying to make Guevara likeable (hey guys he just had a baby!)
Wildcard: Goldberg shows up at some point and FTR refuse to shake his hand backstage
MJF - Devil is not unmasked, MJF ultimately loses to Swerve at Revolution.
Storm - I'm praying Stat challenges at Revolution, win, Hayter returns and ultimately gets the title at All In. Main event at Wembley. Do it Tony you pussy.
Kingston.
Copeland - but Christian refuses to accept he's lost (yes, I think they are going to do a Trump parody)
Hart
King Switch etc
Swerve
Andrade, via some CJ fuckery
Sting, etc, Callis Family walk out and abandon Absolute Bill.
