I actually really like how they arrived at the stakes in the Bucks/Swerve/Ospreay match.
Swerve/Ospreay can't challenge for the AEW World Title for a year if they lose. The Bucks would have incentive here because they not only want to keep their executive titles but also because they've established they've got a working deal with Mox and are trying to make his life easier.
But from the standpoint of trying to get the audience to buy in, it's also a believable enough stip. If it were "Ospreay and Swerve will be fired if they lose" nobody is buying that. The result of the match wouldn't be in question. These stakes are realistic enough where you could actually see it go either way.
