In a shocking turn of events on Wednesday’s “AEW Dynamite,” the AEW TNT Championship was declared vacant following an unfortunate injury to Adam Copeland. Copeland’s tibia has split in twain, leaving the Executive Vice Presidents in a frenzy. Matt and Nick Jackson, seemingly driven by unchecked power, tried to anoint their Elite ally Jack Perry as the new champion. But their plans were thwarted by a surprising new figure of authority.
Enter The Fallen Angel: Christopher Daniels
Christopher Daniels, known as “The Fallen Angel,” has been revealed as the new Interim Executive Vice President, stepping in for the ailing Kenny Omega. Daniels wasted no time in putting a stop to The Elite’s shenanigans, halting their attempt to crown Perry the champion. Instead, he announced an exciting new direction for the TNT title.
The Tournament: A Battle for Supremacy
Daniels unveiled a mini-tournament to determine the contenders for the now-vacant TNT Championship. The tournament will culminate in a high-stakes ladder match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 3, where an undisclosed number of wrestlers will compete to claim the prestigious title. Jack Perry, despite The Elite’s underhanded tactics, will be one of the participants in this intense competition. The tournament kicks off on this week’s “Rampage,” featuring Eliminator matches to decide the ladder match participants.
Kenny Omega and Adam Copeland: Out of Action
Kenny Omega is sidelined due to Diverticulitis, exacerbated by an attack from his own faction, The Elite. Omega will be out for a significant period as he undergoes surgery. Similarly, former AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland is also headed for surgery, with no clear return date for either of these wrestling titans.
