welcome to the ben and bash podcast tag team talk I'm ben I'm bash. It's time to lace up your boots and hit the mat with the ben and bash podcast tag team talk all right, we are for another one.
Speaker 2:We are going to be doing a pre uh prediction show for aw worlds and pay-per View. Let's get to it.
Speaker 1:Okay, so for the first match on the card Is Takeshita versus Powerhouse Hobbs For the AEW International Championship and for this one. Powerhouse Hobbs is one of my favorite wrestlers on AEW, but I just think that Takeshita is better in ring and I just think that he's going to win and retain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, plus you got Don Callis and all that. So interference and all that can happen too. So you know how that goes. You got a bunch of stuff that can happen in that match. I mean if it's just a straight one-on-one match, powerhouse Hobbs could win. But knowing Takesh of stuff that could happen in that match, I mean if it's just a straight one-on-one match, powerhouse Hobbs could win. But knowing Tekeka and Duncow and all them, they're probably going to do something to interfere in the match, something like that. So I mean, as much as I want Powerhouse Hobbs to win as well, I think Tekeka is going to win as well on that one.
Speaker 1:Okay, so for as well on that one. Okay. So for the next match on the card is will osprey versus kyle fletcher in the continental classic semi-final, and for this one, a lot of the people on this card are some of my favorite aw wrestlers. Um, and will osprey is one of those people, and um, so I'm, I'm going to pick uh Will Ospreay, and the history between these two is uh very big, but I think Will Ospreay is going to come out on top because in my opinion, he's the better wrestler, but Kyleyle fletcher has been uh kind of on a tear. So you know what?
Speaker 1:actually, I'm picking kyle fletcher straight match, or he's with don callous too yeah you think he's gonna be straight up, just a straight I think there's gonna be like the slightest bit of shenanigans, but mostly I think it's gonna be a one-on-one mostly, mostly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this should be. Are you going? Oh, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this should be a good oneon-one mostly, yeah, this should be.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I'm good. Yeah, this should be a good one, Cal Flex and Will Ospreay also being stable members, faction members, tag team partners, whatever you want to call it but yeah, these would be best friends than Cal Flex and Turner and Will Ospreay a couple months ago. So, yeah, this should be one of the better matches. Actually, I mean AEW matches pretty much all the matches in AEW usually are pretty good all the way around, I mean. But yeah, this match should be probably one or two on the best match of the car, as far as I think. Anyways, yeah, like I said, Will Ospreay one of the best wrestlers in the world. I hope he can stay healthy. I mean, he does a lot of flips and stuff like that and just hope he can stay healthy and don't anything serious and he can actually go. He actually has a chance of winning this kind of classic championship. But yeah, I'm going to pick you picked Kyle Fletcher.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what are you going to pick? Kyle Fletcher.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I mean, like I said, Kyle Fletcher has been on the tear recently. He has definitely been on the tear recently, especially since he shaved his head in a line with Don Cows and all that Yep. But I think Will Ospreay is going to win this, just because I think he's due for a big win like this. So I think Will.
Speaker 1:Ospreay's going to win. With the next match it's Okada versus Ricochet, and for this one, ricochet recently the fans have just completely turned on him Like U-turn turned on him.
Speaker 2:Called Samantha Irvin. People think he stole Samantha Irvin from WWE.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:By him leaving, and then she left too, not too long afterwards. But I'm not saying it's the only reason, but it's probably one of the reasons people think and they were throwing toilet paper at him. I think he also said sorry to go off topic a little bit I think he also said when AEW first started. I think he said he was one of the reasons AEW was even started, cause the rest was like him oh, you know what I'm saying he said something along the lines like that around the time AEW started.
Speaker 2:So I think the fans are still kinda remembering that from years ago when he was in WWE and they kinda like let him hear it now cause he's in AEW now so but uh, yeah, so recently uh, let him hear it now because he's in AEW now but yeah, so recently he's basically turned heel because the fans made him heel.
Speaker 1:He's one of the top heels basically in AEW because they just boo him every time he's out there. I didn't think they were going to bring toilet paper, though, just to throw it out.
Speaker 2:there they call him trash.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, at that point they might as well just bring Dorito bags.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah.
Speaker 1:But for this one, I just think that Okada's going to win, because I think it's going to be him. It's going to be him. When the Continental Classic started, I figured that it would be Okada versus somebody else, Him trying to retain his title and not just lose it during the Continental Classic. But yeah, so I'm picking Okada to beat Ricochet in this match in the semifinal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, if Ricochet wins, then there's going to be a new champion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, automatically. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because Okada loses his belt, ricochet doesn't get the belt.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 2:The winner of the kind of champion gets the belt Okada's defending belt, defending champion. So as long as he wins he keeps his belt. If he was to lose to Ricochet he would lose his belt.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Ricochet wouldn't get it, though, until he wrestled, you know whoever on the other side. Here's the thing. Where is the Hurt business going? Well, the Hurt Syndicate, sorry, the Hurt Syndicate. Where are they going to do Ricochet? Was this all? Were they playing this whole time Like trying to and Ricochet is actually part of them and they come interfering and let him win the belt.
Speaker 1:Or at least beat the champion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean what I'm saying. I mean how does that work? Like, do they come out and interfere in the match and it was all a ploy the whole time just to kind of get the fans thinking he wasn't in the group. He was in the group the whole time.
Speaker 1:I think if that would happen, that would be in the final. But I just don't think Ricochet is making it to the finals, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So that's why you have to interfere in the semifinals in order to make him make it to the finals. And in the finals I'm just throwing this out there, just saying, you know, I don't know. I mean I want Ricochet to win just because I want to see Ricochet get booed even more by beating Okada. You know, ricochet being a champion will make the fans go livid. I mean you talk about Dumb and Serial New Day type of heat if he wins.
Speaker 2:And they already booing him. Now if he wins the belt too, he really, they really hate him, yeah. So I mean I just want to see what happens with Bobby Lashley you know, mvp thing, sheldon Benjamin, see if he actually is a part him in a group. Or was it all just a ploy just to kind of throw us off so he can come and interfere in the match? You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:That wouldn't make sense.
Speaker 2:I don't know how this is going to go. I mean, that's why I predict the show, I'm trying to predict what happens. But I mean Okada he still is one of the best wrestlers in the world when he wrestles his wrestling match. He doesn still is one of the best wrestlers in the world, if not the best wrestler in the world, when he wrestles his wrestling match. He doesn't wrestle often. I mean, he wrestled more recently because of the condom championship, condom classic um recently. But this should be a good match too. I don't know, this is a hard one right here, mmm. I'm gonna let him say Ricochet wins. I'm gonna say Ricochet just to make it different. Say Ricochet wins. I'm going to say Ricochet Just to make it different. Say Ricochet wins.
Speaker 1:Okay, is that what you're going to say?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to say Ricochet and I'm going to say the hurt syndicate gets involved some kind of way.
Speaker 1:And for another match on the card, it's the winners of the two Clinendo Classic semifinal match. I picked kyle fletcher and okada, so so my match would be okada versus kyle fletcher and I think personally that okada needs to drop the title, like I like his reign. I've liked his reign so far, but I just think that he should drop the title, and to a person who's been on like an absolute tear in AEW as an example of Kyle Fletcher. So, yeah, I think Kyle Fletcher is going to win and win the AEW Continental Championship.
Speaker 2:And that would give Don Cala's two belts. So you pick Takeshita too. Yeah To win. So you got Kyle Fletcher winning the continental classic over okada. So for me I went with the classic match that everybody wants to see again, ricochet versus real osprey. And this could be a tough match they had like in japan over the super juniors and different matches like that but yeah, ricochet versus Will Ospreay. I got from my continental championship match and I'm just going to go ahead and say Ricochet wins all the way around, just so fans can blow more. I like seeing good heel work. I like seeing good heel work. What New Day is doing now, what Dominic does now, what Kyle Fletcher's been doing recently, what Rhyme May has been doing MJF I mean, I like seeing good, like John Moxley and them. They've been tearing it up down.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I like seeing good heel work. You know good heel work makes wrestling enjoyable because you never know what they're going to do. You have no idea what's going to happen. I mean because the fans booing them. You don't know what's going to happen. Are they going to get mad like John Moss and start attacking everybody? Are they going to be like the New Day and just try to get people to like them, even though they're getting booed at the arena, you know? Are they going to be like Dominic and just take MJF and just take it in?
Speaker 2:You know, but for me, I got Ricochet winning Continental Classic Championship, and the Hurt Syndicate also helps him out in this match because everybody knows he's part of it. Now they're gonna help him out. I think they're gonna help him out. I think this is all a ploy to get him in the group, just so people don't think that they're part of it. That's gonna help him because that's gonna get them out of the belt and then, by bashing, do what he got to do, show Benjamin what he has to do, and that can be a good little group there. So, yeah, I got a record shake winning the Continental Classic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for the next match on the card, it's Mariah Mae versus Thunder Rosa match on the card is mariah may versus thunder rosa and, um, I think that's a um tijuana street fight. I think, oh yeah, I have. No, what is that?
Speaker 2:it's a street fight just with a fancy name. Well, they always put the name of something in there, like brooklyn street fight new jersey street fight boston street fight whatever they just put this is something street fight, this is a street fight and they always put a different name on it, though, but there's.
Speaker 2:They usually put a different name on the street fights, but it's just something. Street fight, it's just a street fight, and they always put a different name on it, though, but there's, they usually put a different name on the street fights but it's just a street fight.
Speaker 1:They never just have like a plain street fight.
Speaker 2:No, because they always have it put in the city area usually or something has to do with something they're in, Like, I think Donna Rosa Tijuana. I think there's a Tijuana Street Fight match, so there's no rules in the match. So you know what Street Fight is? Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is for the AEW Women's World Championship and Mariah May ever since she beat Toni Storm for the AEW Women's World Championship, I think that she's just been one of the top champions and one of the top heels. And thunder rosa is a very big name in aw, but I just think that would just make mariah's may uh movement up in the uh in like the category of greatest of all time in AEW.
Speaker 2:Uh, if she beats uh Thunder Rosa yeah, yeah, I mean, are you done, that's it oh yeah, yeah, I got Mirama as well.
Speaker 2:I mean her. She has been doing some great work in AEW since she debuted. I mean she came from Stardom. I wasn't. I didn't watch Stardom a lot, but I was a little bit familiar with her just because I watched. I did watch a little bit, watch Stardom a lot, but I was a little bit familiar with her just because I did watch a little bit of Stardom and so, yeah, she was pretty good over there too. But she's taking a hold of her level in AEW.
Speaker 2:I mean her and Toni Storm rivalry. I mean that was one of the best rivalries of the year. I mean so I mean her heel working that I mean with the shoe and then the blood, and I mean all that with the shoe and then the blood, and I mean all that. So I mean this is Mariah May's kind of match. I mean Thunder Rosa may have challenged her in this, but this is Mariah May's type of match though. So I think that Mariah May is going to win this match. It's going to be a brutal match. It's going to be some blood. I mean this is going to be a hardcore match. I mean just straight up. There's probably going to be some thumbtacks or something comes out, somebody gets thrown on. I mean, mirai May has bled in almost every match he's been in so far. So, with that being said, I got Mirai May winning in a brutal match, for a special women's match especially that.
Speaker 1:Is that what you're going to say about that? Yes, I said it's going to rob me, wouldn't it? And for the next match on the card, it's MJF versus Adam Cole. For the AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring and MJF, in my opinion I don't know if I mean most people I feel like will agree with me, but I think he's the best heel in AEW, not like of the modern era, um and so, and he's done like a lot of heel work like that.
Speaker 1:Don't that charity donation to the, to the um, to world's end pay-per-view, when he had a photoshopped adam cole, um, that was a very good segment and this entire feud is one of the best, like the best feuds in a while. Um, but I just think that mjf uh is gonna lose the dynamite diamond ring and adam cole's gonna get it. And I, just because adam cole has been one of the one, uh, like on a, not a tear, but like he's been winning uh, a lot of matches, I guess. But yeah, and adam cole's been winning not a lot of matches, but he's been winning some important matches against Kyle O'Reilly and people like that. That's why I think that Adam Cole is going to win the AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring and MJF is going to drop it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this should be a good match. Like I said, they were tag team partners, tag team. They broke up, adam cole broke his ankle then. So the feud, kind of you know, lingered for a while because adam cole was out injured I'm not sure if without injury, because he was gone for a while too. I think it was more contract negotiations, I think that's what he said. Anyways, I'm not sure what was going on with that. Could be injured, but I don't know. But anyways, uh, adam Cole finally came back. You know he stabbed MJF in the back and then he was still hurt, though, so he still couldn't wrestle. But now, now he's finally cleared and him and MJF had been going back and forth for each other. You know it was last week, mjf talking about him and Adam Cole and Brick Breaker breaking up.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I mean, they've been hitting each other personal, and so this match should be. This should be like some kind of stipulation match, though this should be like a no-holds-barred match or something like that. It should be, but it's not as far as I know anyways. But who'd you pick, mjf?
Speaker 1:Oh no, no, I picked Adam Cole.
Speaker 2:You, but who'd you pick MJF? Oh no, no, I pick Adam Cole. You pick Adam Cole Just because of the fact that MJF has won every single Dynamite Diamond Ring. I'm going to go Adam Cole too. I mean, it's about time for him to lose one of them. He's won every single one. This is the first one. He's the only one that ever won one, so I think it's time for Adam Cole to win it. I think he says he's going to retire too once he wins. I think that's what he said on another podcast.
Speaker 1:Adam Cole.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he said on some other podcast I can't remember the name of the podcast, but I was looking at it the other day he was saying that something about he was going to get rid of it once he won, or something like that. He was saying I don't know, but we'll see how it goes. But yeah, I got Adam Cole just got back recently from injury, so I think he's the one that needs to end Dynamite Diamond Ring for whatever that means as far as going for a title or whatever that works. But Adam Cole, I think, is going to win this match against MJF.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but one more thing on this match. But one more thing on this match and also one thing I like about this match. These are two of my favorite wrestlers in NAW and, like you said, he said he's going to retire.
Speaker 2:I don't know if that's 100% accurate or not. I'm not sure what he's going to do with it. That's what he said he'd want to do if he wins, but I don't know what he's actually going to do if he wins. I don't know.
Speaker 1:In my opinion, I think if Adam Cole didn't get hurt, he would be the bad guy in this feud and MJF would be a babyface for the first time besides, when he teamed with Adam Cole. But yeah, that's all I'm going to say on that match. Is that all you're going to say on that match?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I got Adam Cole winning cold winter.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and for the next match on the card it's mercedes monet versus chris statlander for the aw tbs championship. And this is um part, not part two, but this is their second match. But, uh, in their first match, mercedes monet of one. And so, yeah, for this one I don't know, because their first match Mercedes Monet won. I don't know, I feel like she's going to win again, but then again Chris Statlander, she's. I'm not going to say talk about Chris Statlander, but yeah, mercedes-mone. I think it's going to be the same outcome as their first match.
Speaker 1:Is that it yeah.
Speaker 2:I was surprised Chris Statlander from this match. I thought Camille would have got a match because you know her.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, definitely that's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, unless she is actually hurt. She could actually be hurt, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, she could actually have an elbow injury or whatever the case is, you know, while she's not wrestling Because she hadn't had a wrestling match in how long?
Speaker 2:It's been a last time she had a match with mercedes monet clish. That lander won, wasn't? She was on that same pay-per-view, I'm pretty sure I think I can't remember. Maybe I can't remember she might have had a match on dynamite or rampage or something like that, but I can't remember though for sure. But yeah, I haven't seen her wrestle in a while, not that I paid, not that I've seen anyways, but um, yeah, I thought it'd be. I thought it would be Camille versus Mercedes Mernay, but since she's not in this match, I'm thinking that she calls that. She go ahead and calls Mercedes to match. Interference in the match calls her to match. Chris Stadler wins it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's a good way to get somebody back, you know, and that starts a feud with Mercedes and Camille, because you don't need to, sometimes in some rivalille, because you don't need to, sometimes in some rivalries. You don't need belts yeah, that's just the rivalry itself. It's just enough to do it. You know, I mean like sometimes the ride like cm punk and drew magentire, or you know, like mjf and adam cole, they don't need a ring on that belt, they can just fight each other. You don't need that ring.
Speaker 2:You just happen to have a ring involved yeah but that kind of match, you just have that match and just have it. You know, like and so with mercedes, mercedes and um camille, you don't even need a belt online. I mean, belt helps because he's a champion, but you can just have them just go at each other because that's a. You know, she was working for it and she turned on her and then she's by herself. So I got chris thatland. I mean, I want mercedes to win because I'm in the locker, she's a good wrestler and all that, but I think chris thatler is going to win this match.
Speaker 1:Uh, from in the fan, from camille but uh, yeah, for the next or the main event for the car is john moxley defending the AW World Championship against Orange, cassidy Hangman, adam Page and Jade White, and for this one the Death Riders are guaranteed to get involved.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's your ball from rings. I don't know if there's any stipulations to that. I haven't heard anything. If any stipulations of that, I don't know, I haven't heard anything. If there's not, then obviously.
Speaker 1:And there's more people in the Death Rider group than the people who are trying to defeat Jon Moxley.
Speaker 2:You got the whole AEW.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I was thinking about, that you saw Rampage last night People in the match.
Speaker 2:We saw how Rampage did last night. Everybody coming out about that. You saw Rampage last night.
Speaker 1:People in the match. We saw how Rampage did last night.
Speaker 2:Everybody coming out like that. I mean, if their rides do get involved, I'm sure people are going to come in. I'm not saying they will, but maybe who knows?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but personally I want Orange Cassidy to win. Either Orange Cassidy or Adam Page. I want Orange Cassidy to win either Orange Cassidy or Adam Page.
Speaker 2:But I like, I'm almost guaranteed, at least in my opinion, that Jon Moxley is going to win and retain the AWO Championship. Yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to use one of these conspiracy theories. They've been that they've been thrown out here all over the internet with death riders, that somebody's in control of them. I mean, that's what people have been saying that sounds like the most fake thing.
Speaker 2:No, because John Moxley has also. He said that he's doing it for the greater good and he's not the way he's saying. He's not the one doing it. He's being made to do this, you know, for whatever reason. Like, does that mean somebody else is making him do it, or is he made me do it because of the way the fans and AEW have been doing over the last few years?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I know a name that's been. I know this may not happen, but this would be the one to bring it in on, because it's called World's End. And what better way to end the year with a wrestling name debuting in AEW what. I'm just throwing it out here because I heard his name been thrown around AEW a while. He's been seen. Supposedly he's been seen around AEW recently. I don't know if there's any truth to it or not, but Shane McMahon.
Speaker 1:I'm going to leave right now. No, I'm just saying If Shane McMahon, if he's the one in control Of that, I'm not watching AEW.
Speaker 2:I don't want to see Shane McMahon. You don't have to see him wrestle. You just see him in control From an authority figure his name alone. He's a good man, so his name is going to hold weight In AEW. And what better way to bring in WWE To AEW by having the son of the ex-WB boss In AEW Working for AEW's boss now but kind of running his own little thing, kind of like NWO was they thing, kind of nwo was they.
Speaker 2:Can be kind of new age, the new, the new version, nwo like the way, john moxley, I'm going they can be kind of the new nwo, because remember, remember, oh, you probably used to y'all watch nwo whenever nwo, but eventually eric bischoff became part of nwo yeah, and he was like the head guy on tv for for uh wcw yeah he wasn't the, but he was the head.
Speaker 2:He was the guy on TV. He was like the Triple H of WCW back then. So by him joining them it made it look like they were the ones kicking NWA controlling it. I don't think they're going to do it, but if they do do it, this would be the paper you would do it in, right here. This would be the one to do it End of the year. But if they do do it, this would be the paper you would do it in, right here. This would be the one I'd do it in. If you're on a high note, it's going to be talked about for at least the next month or so, especially with the way WWE is going with the Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes and the Bloodline stuff. Aew needs something like this to kind of you know.
Speaker 1:But one thing Okay. So if you think Shane McMahon is this haunting presence over AEW, do you think Jon Moxley is the leader of Death Riders, or Shane McMahon?
Speaker 2:I think they're both over it. I think they're both kind of in it. I think Shane McMahon is the one that got in Jon Moxley's head and kind of got him to think about this. And then John Moxley got his friends, the people he could trust. You know Pac, you know Marina Shafir, claudio Lil Yuta you know I mean got them guys to feed into a two and they're taking over AEW. You know I mean Claudio, think about him. He's never won a world. He's never won a championship. Besides, he was a ring honor champion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I was about to say.
Speaker 2:Before that, though, he should have been WWE champion at least twice, you know. I mean. So he had to have his first chance. Willie Yuta hadn't had his first shot, marina Shafir hadn't had her fair shot, pack had had a fair shot. I mean so you got guys who hadn't had fair shots into your group with you, you know, and they're all then they're attacking people, you know. So I think, not saying this is going to happen, but this would be the perfect view the world's end. What better way it makes sense? World's end. Okay, the world is ending now because shaman man has joined aew. I mean, man, it's an aew, you know, I mean you don't, you weren't born, yet when the Monday Night Raw war ended.
Speaker 2:When I remember this because I used to switch back and forth for both shows when WCW got bought out by WWE and Monday Night Raw, this man came on TV on Monday Night Raw and he was also on WCW TV. Yes, go watch it on YouTube. Wait.
Speaker 1:That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2:He came out on TV, on WWE TV, but they simulcast it on WCW TV Because he bought him out and so he wanted to make a storyline out of it. And so the fans didn't know that. Though the fans didn't know, vince McMahon had already bought WCW already. So when he came on TV saying that he had bought WCW, everybody was like what the heck's going on, because Vince McMahon's on WCW TV. But then at the end of the show comes to find out it wasn't Vince McMahon that bought WCW, it was Shane that bought WCW. And then that's what started the invasion angle yeah.
Speaker 2:With WCW guys coming over and all those guys coming over, and then they had the invasion pay-per-view.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But that's what I'm saying. It kind of reminds me of the old WCW feud when they had that, you know, the buyout thing. So I don't know. I mean I'm just throwing stuff out there. It's a prediction show, could be wrong, could be 100% wrong, could be partially right, I don't know. But I do think somebody may be helping out John Moxley and them. I mean, they're getting too much power. I mean they're doing a lot of stuff and nobody's suspended them yet. They kicked Darby Allin down the steps.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They smashed his head in the chair. They kicked him down a flight of steps.
Speaker 1:And he's still wrestling, I mean. I mean they've tried to run people over. I feel like that's just fear at that point.
Speaker 2:They attacked FTR. They attacked him. Nothing happened. They attacked him. They can't wrestle this year. They're not clear until next year. They are they're not going next week. They can't wrestle next week, but they had. They're supposed to. They want to wrestle, I think, in pay-per-view, this weekend, but they're not clear to wrestle tonight. So I mean, you gotta think they have a lot of people like that. They've been killed. Dave Bryant in the middle of the ring on TV.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And they didn't get suspended. So it has to be somebody behind the scenes that's letting them get away with this stuff. I think, Because there's no way they're getting away with all this stuff and nobody gets suspended. They're just letting people just try to kill people on live TV.
Speaker 1:I mean Tony Khan has been attacked on AEW before. Maybe that's just fear.
Speaker 2:Maybe, but we'll see how it goes. But, but we'll see how it goes. But yeah, I'm going to say John Moxley as well. Just you pick John Moxley.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You want Arncashie to win, but you pick John Moxley. Yeah, I mean Jay White, adam Page. I mean this is a stacked match right here. I mean all four of these guys deserve to win AEW World Championship. But yeah, just the way the Death Riders have been going recently, I don't see John Baxter in this building anytime soon. I mean, unless he wants to lose it. I don't see him losing anytime soon. He has some power over AEW by having the belt, but but yeah, anything else you want to add to it uh no that's it, yeah, alright, so this has been the episode.
Speaker 2:I'm Ben.
