That's one of the percs of not having a script to recite. They have a general idea of what they're gonna say but that's it, promos are formed organically with their own words (and they can swear, which makes it feel more natural). Most wrestlers are not "good actors" in that they can only play their own character, if their character is forced to say something that isn't natural it shows instantly. (bad side of having no script at all is that when it goes wrong, it goes wrong.)

This is set up perfectly for Punk to cheat to win. I'd like for Ace Steel to accompany him to the ring, make it seem inspirational, and then Steel is the one handing him a chair when the ref is down to beat the shit out of Moxley. Let Steel be his ringside lackey for the heel run. (For those that don't know, Steel is already working for AEW in a backstage role so he'll be traveling with them anyway.)

Nah. This whole thing is giving me will he/won’t he turn Cody vibes.

Only way to save this whole debacle. Sure as hell doesn't help Moxley. He just comes off looking bad having to do the job for Crybaby Phil this Sunday. Probably while he has to also drop the GCW title to Nick Cage in October because he's going to look weak coming out of the match.
