Folks, the AEW World Championship picture is somehow getting wilder than ever—because when it comes to title chaos, Tony Khan says “Yes, please!”
In a shocking twist that absolutely no one saw coming (except everyone who watched the end of Revolution), Cope and Jon Moxley will run it back next week on Dynamite. But this time? No Disqualifications. That’s right, we’re throwing out the rulebook—like AEW referees do in every match anyway.
The stakes? Winner faces Swerve Strickland at AEW Dynasty on April 6, where Swerve has the chance to become a two-time AEW World Champion at the exact same event where he won it last year. AEW’s long-term storytelling? Confirmed.
The Story So Far: Chaos, Confusion, and Christian Cage Being Salty
- Revolution Recap: Cope technically didn’t lose against Moxley. Why? Because Christian Cage cashed in his “Next AEW Champion” contract and promptly got choked out faster than CM Punk’s return hopes.
- Swerve Secures His Shot: Earlier in the night, Strickland defeated Ricochet to secure his #1 contendership, then delivered a Swerve Stomp to Moxley just to remind him who’s boss.
- Backstage Tension: Cope confronted Swerve, reminding him that he’s never actually beaten him. Moxley, meanwhile, cut a promo promising he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice—which, in Moxley’s case, could mean either wrestling strategy or excessive bleeding.
Meanwhile, Christian Cage is Throwing a Fit
After choking harder than the Atlanta Falcons in a Super Bowl, Christian Cage is not happy. Backstage, he demanded his contract back because he technically cashed it in for a singles match against Cope. Nick Wayne then called him out for making excuses, leading to a heated argument that could spell trouble for The Patriarchy. Long story short: Cage is mad, Wayne is over it, and Kip Sabian is… well, just kind of there.
With Cope vs. Moxley set for Dynamite, AEW’s World Title scene is messier than a Moxley blade job. Will Cope finally win AEW’s top prize? Will Moxley prove he’s still the guy? Or will Tony Khan add yet another twist and turn? Stay tuned.
