Have all of us recovered from that ending but?
So Bryan Danielson’s full-time profession has come to an finish, and Jon Moxley is the AEW World Champion, but it surely’s what occurred afterwards that has everybody questioning what’s subsequent, and there’s a lot to unpack. Proper off the bat, Danielson has retired from wrestling on a full-time foundation, however not all of wrestling, which means that there’s each likelihood that he ultimately comes again to wrestle sporadically, and even do what Sting does and reveals up every time certainly one of his associates is outnumbered. Nevertheless, that will not occur for some time. The person wants neck surgical procedure earlier than the top of the 12 months, so anybody hoping Danielson would possibly present up within the subsequent six months must quiet down. My trustworthy guess can be that we do not see Danielson wherever in 2025, or no less than the vast majority of 2025 so far as a match goes. 2026, however — that is a unique story. Danielson nonetheless hasn’t wrestled Zack Sabre Jr. for a 3rd time, he hasn’t had a rematch with Kenny Omega, and Darby Allin presumably nonetheless desires to face him for the AEW World Championship. Danielson has extra to do, it simply will not be for some time.

Talking of Darby, what’s subsequent for the Blackpool Fight Membership? Moxley is the AEW World Champion, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, and Claudio Castagnoli are the AEW World Trios Champions, and Marina Shafir might kick anybody’s head in if given the prospect. They’re the largest heels within the firm, and Allin has positioned himself because the flagbearer for AEW nearly all 12 months, so sure, Darby is 100% getting a shot on the AEW World Championship within the close to future — however he is not the one one. All through the WrestleDream pay-per-view, Orange Cassidy was informed a number of instances that he’s “the person” and can get his likelihood at greatness in the future, and let me let you know, if Jerry Lynn says it to you, you higher imagine it is true.

Each champion in AEW proper now’s a heel, and the Blackpool Thanos Membership have inadvertently introduced collectively the younger, babyface Avengers of AEW to combat the nice combat for the sake of the corporate. Take a look at the names that got here out to assist Danielson: Darby, Orange, Daniel Garcia, Personal Social gathering, HOOK, Jeff Jarrett … okay perhaps not him, however you get the concept. The BCC was based on the premise that they might assist the younger guys get higher, and that is the story that will probably be informed over the subsequent few months: The way forward for AEW coming to beat the corporate’s current, with Allin taking part in the lead position, and Moxley lastly getting what’s coming to him in some unspecified time in the future down the road.
At the very least, that is how all the things appears to be like proper now. There are nonetheless doubtlessly extra twists in Moxley’s story, and in the event that they’re sufficiently big, they may irreparably alter the form of the long run.
