I can actually appreciate that Jericho is bringing out a more serious side of Briscoe. It’s still not quite as serious as I’d like but it’s better than the constant comedy promos with the conglomeration.

There’s something likeable about Briscoe and the organic connection he has with the fans as an Indy favorite/ROH original is something that can be capitalized on better than it has been. He could be the Mick Foley/Sami Zayn of AEW.
 
Watch Jericho win lmao
I got a feeling that is probably exactly what is going to happen. I can see Jericho winning with the help of the rest of the learning tree and then possibly it leading to Jericho v. Briscoe at Final Battle for the title and the only thing I am iffy on is do they put it in a cage to keep the learning tree away or not considering it isn't technically a PPV and will be an honorclub exclusive.
 
I don't see the point of putting a mid 50s year old man in a silly ladder match. Just seems like an unnecessary risk for no reward. I'm tired of ladder matches and would prefer them to go away for several years. Everything's been done to death in them.

But I digress.

Either Jericho is winning here or he's taking a big bump to go away for a while. Well....that or Briscoe just wins and that's that.

If Jericho wins then Tony must be making a play to try and get ROH some kind of deal again.
 
There's no reason to put the ROH belt on Jericho again unless they are shopping ROH. Tony Khan turned down The CW in 2022 and may regret that now, as he wanted WBD to take on ROH with AEW.

Now that we know WBD isn't taking on ROH, it's only logical that he shops it elsewhere since he doesn't want to sunset the brand. I would try and get it on Tubi - which is interested in pro wrestling - and possibly rename it to AEW: Ring of Honor so that you have the crossover brand effect. Tubi has 80m+ active monthly users now, which is about 12m more than cable.

If AEW were to get a presence on Max (confirmed), Tubi and possibly FOX (I'll believe this deal when I see it, and I'm talking FOX not FS1), then they're in new frontiers where they've had zero exposure. That would give them an opportunity to find new fans as opposed to being only on cable with its fast declining subscriber count. Cable has lost 50% of its audience in the last 10 years, there seems to be no floor for it, and you're not likely to find many new fans just being there.
 
Shelton and Guevara is a perfect match for Benjamin at this stage. Can come in and get another win over a more important name in AEW — who’s also a guy that can bounce around for him a bit. We don’t see enough Sammy on Dynamite as is. He should be involved in more.

not crazy about trios matches, like at all. Especially ones involving Perry and the young bucks.. but at least there’s some semblance of a story/reason here.

House of Black needs to be in something substantial. Or at least Malikai does. This trios thing for them has really made all three guys feel unimportant and lost in the shuffle. Malikai should’ve been one of the major players there. Idk why they need a random squash match when they’ve been a group for like 3 years..
