AEW Dynamite 8/11: "The 4th Labour"

[Evil Vito]

Yeah, on AEW's subreddit and AEW Twitter there is this subset of people who think it's somehow gonna actually be Punk vs. Omega at All Out and I don't understand that line of thinking at all. It wouldn't be announced until, bare minimum, the Chicago Rampage.

Punk vs. Omega on a two week build is lunacy in and of itself. And that's before you consider that either Omega would need to lose to someone who hasn't wrestled in nearly eight years, Punk would need to lose his return match, or you're doing a bullshit non-finish. Oh and if it's a title match, as janky as AEW's ranking system may be, giving someone a title shot instantly flies in the face of everything they've done so far.

It is strange that they're doing Omega/Christian on Rampage and it does raise my suspicions on if they'll actually wrestle at All Out because it really isn't AEW's style to do the same match that close together, but I don't know who else he'd work at this stage. Darby is #2 in the rankings right now and could conceivably get the shot but he's also rumored to be Punk's opponent. But then again Sammy Guevara is teasing a "major announcement" next week so who knows, maybe somehow he is working Punk instead.

They're keeping me guessing on this PPV, that's for sure. Lot of directions they could conceivably go. Looking forward to it.

I feel like Christian will win the Impact Title, then have a contractual obligation to defend it at All Out, thus removing him from the AEW title match.

Or maybe it will just be a hotshot title change and All Out will be for both belts so Kenny can pad his stats a la Charlotte.
