I've got a hunch Wardlow is gonna have second thoughts and then they take him out and replace him with a returning O'Reilly (or maybe I'm just hoping to see him back...) and then we get an arc of either the still champion Wardlow or a dethroned by Adam Cole Wardlow coming full circle with MJF

[@djpegao]

Wardlow being with Cole makes 0 sense storyline wise, since he came back and proclaimed to go after Max, him being a lackey again does not make him look like a man on a revenge path makes him look dumb.

[@MrTeamGuy]

@@djpegao and yet, he did act on his revenge with a smart plan. To note, he is a heel. you don't suppose to like him or think positively about him. Him getting just to another group is exactly what any Face wrestler can say to him from now on.

[@gunnyo50]

​@@djpegao Wardlow is blinded with hatred for MJF that's why he joined Adam Cole's group in the first place. Adam's plan to have Wardlow to win AEW title from Samoa Joe and forfeit the title to him will absolutely come array but I do think Adam Cole will win the title when he's healed from his injury. I have to clap my hands how they managed to navigate Cole's bad ankle injury and incorporate it into this storyline, keep it rolling and on track.

Cole on crutches really adds to this for me. The Devil sacrificed himself enough to assure his plan came to fruition. Cole said it himself “I sacrificed everything within that friendship, for god sakes, that’s how I broke my damn ankle, I’m the one who lost something, not him.” This is good stuff

Nah, Cole had several chances to screw Max before, it's just Cole is good at the mic that the explanation worked

[@ownknow8161]

*Right,* ​@@djpegao*! This would’ve made more sense, IF the character would’ve been either The Nemeth Brothers or a plot-twist with either “The Bullet Club Gold” (even with Jay White “getting jumped”), Strickland and “The Mogul Embassy”, or Will Ospreay and “The United Empire”. On another note, this does put “The Undisputed Kingdom” against other factions and in some interesting storylines, including Jay White VS Adam Cole. Wembley Stadium had better be ready. It seems as though AEW is making the very much-needed proper changes to and for its roster.*

Best opening segment of Dynamite in ages. THIS is how you follow up on a major angle like this. I'm totally invested in this story, and they've made me care about Roderick and The Kingdom after dismissing them because of the stupid comedy segments. Hell, this whole episode of Dynamite was pretty good. Christian's promo was gold as always. So was Toni Storm's. Mariah May's debut was good, and so was Deonna Purrazzo's debut. That one legitimately caught me off guard. Didn't even know she left Impact. Everything flowed really well on this show and it gives me hope for AEW's future.

Some really good mic work from Adam Cole. I like how they've done a good job at blurring the lines between good and bad. Even though he's really a heel now, Adam Cole points out how bad MJF was throughout his run, and really highlights how MJF is only face now because of his alignment with Cole. We all expected MJF to turn on Cole at some point and Cole even addresses how MJF would stab him in the back when he was ready

[@L1am21]

Mjf is a face because he gets cheered and sells merch and Cole sold merch with him as a tag team now they have broke up that is less merch for aew. This is like breaking up the new age outlaws in WWF after 4months together this company doesn't make money and wont last.

MJF is going to be a lone wolf. He doesn't have any friends and burned a lot of bridges in 5 years. His redemption arc is the only logical way forward to be a top babyface. Or not. It could go either way. Interesting times.
