What they decide to do with 'ALL IN' will be interesting. A lot of people wanted to pencil in Swerve vs. Ospreay but I'm not sure that's the plan.

It'd be good for AEW to have MJF, Omega, Hangman etc. all back and healthy... Also, they need to be careful with how they differentiate between the TBS title and the Women's World title. If you truly want the women's division to be special, you need to have people like Mercedes and Toni Storm interacting.
Honestly best case scenario for Kenny might be Revolution next year considering the recovery time if a colostomy bag is needed…

I know there is a less invasive option but it depends on just how bad of a case of diverticulitis he has…

I don't think Omega gets cleared before Full Gear, dude still hasn't even gotten his surgery yet. How long does it take to recover from that kind of procedure?

IIRC Lesnar had the same issue and was out for about a year. Obviously a little different scenario with Lesnar being UFC Heavyweight Champ at the time, but he had just as bad a case of Diverticulitis as Omega

For example, I think that Swerve title reign has gone better than Cody's. But Swerve geared more for adults like we are, while Cody more for kids or teenagers, especially with the whole Logan Paul thing. And the kids are the ones who spend the most money. I'm not a dad but I'm sure that those of you who are would be spending a lot less if it wasn't for your kids wanting merch or something they saw on tv to look cool in front of their friends.

Swerve's title reign started with fans screaming about him not cutting a promo on the Dynamite after Dynasty. Then he's programmed against a very cold Christian Cage, got beat up by his old group and then beats down his old group in a lame attempt to get his heat back. The creative behind Swerve's reign has honestly been ass

Cody just retained against AJ Styles in an acclaimed match and is facing an over heel in Logan Paul for the next PLE.

Feels like he's just holding the belt for whoever they decide to put the belt on next....whether that be Hangman or Osperay....

Swerve's been getting good promotion by AEW. He's been put in spots that tend to have the biggest audience and they've let him do his own stuff with appearances and interviews (and they've shown on TV that he's done a lot of them).

The issue is that they didn't have a couple of guys ready to challenge him. One of the many issues of the start-stop booking style TK has is that once a story is finished, there's very little prep work done to start something new. This was very evident with Hangman Page's reign, as well as a MJF and now Swerve.

With the amount of steroids MJF was doing, he probably tore a couple of muscles, it makes sense he's gonna be in the 6-10 month recovery period :pachaha:

Cody just retained against AJ Styles in an acclaimed match and is facing an over heel in Logan Paul for the next PLE.

The Cody storyline ended when he beat Roman. They had some random triple threat match to determine AJ as number one contender that took little effort.

And then Logan Paul who barely defends his own title gets a heavyweight title match to appease the Saudis or the tweeners who like him and his antics or social media status, and then cries about it being title vs title to have it only for one title cuz they booked themselves into a corner with that one. Making him look weak or scared.

Cody can cut all the promos he wants but the aftermath has had no close comparison to the chase. And not like Styles was hot going into the PLE anyways. They just rotate these main event level guys then send them back down to the midcard for the next guy to come around.


Swerve has at least had some decent matches, especially the one with Claudio, and been featured on the show in segments with action. Not boring promos or contract signings. Good thing Logan Paul wasn't one of Dusty's kids cuz they would've found a way to mix that into the story too.

Luckily the colostomy is reversible if it heels properly. Sometimes not reversible. Seems like the vast majority of the ostomy patients we get at work get it reversed in well under a year though. But no two individuals are going to be the same when it comes to colostomy stuff.
