All Elite Wrestling is on the road to not only Full Gear, but Blood and Guts as well. Their annual TV special is set to showcase the women for the first time, a much deserved move for a majority of the roster that has been doing everything in their power to build a captivating feud.
While it's grown a bit stale, there are a few other major things in the work. AEW is firing on all cylinders, and their recent successful PPVs are only a taste of what's to come in the remainder of the year.
Konosuke Takeshita Will Dethrone Kazuchika Okada
After coming up short at WrestleDream, it's clear Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada aren't on the same page. Don Callis has done everything in his power to assemble a super team, and while the Don Callis Family is the biggest stable in AEW history, he's had a hard time managing the two biggest stars.
Okada has been champion for the majority of his AEW run. He's the most protected wrestler in the company, and for good reason. In the past few weeks, seeds have been planted for his demise.
A rare loss at WrestleDream was only the beginning. If anyone is going to take the Unified Championship from Okada, it's Takeshita. Soon enough, he'll be running wild as a singles champion in AEW for the first time since Revolution when he lost the International Title to Kenny Omega.
The Death Riders Implode
At some point, Jon Moxley's faction is going to come to an end. Moxley is going to become a brutal, unforgiving leader that not even the likes of Claudio Castagnoli can defend. Between Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, and Marina Shafir, Moxley's group may not last much longer.
Darby Allin took Moxley to his limit at WrestleDream, a loss that affected Mox like no other. He disqualified himself against Kyle O'Reilly on Dynamite, a rare and uncharacteristic loss for the former AEW Champion. Should these tactics continue, one can only imagine how long the rest of his crew will remain on his side.
MJF Wins The Continental Classic
It's hard to predict who is going to take the AEW World Championship off of "Hangman" Adam Page, but MJF feels like a viable option. The two have a storied history, but still have plenty left to give when it comes to their rivalry.
As for MJF, he's basically done everything there is to do in AEW without holding the World Title. His 406 day title reign came to an end at Worlds End 2023, a reign that may have been cut short due to injury. Looking ahead to Worlds End 2025, MJF could begin his quest to win the title back.
MJF isn't your typical tournament wrestler, but he may be left with no other choice. While the Continental Classic has never revolved around the World Championship, MJF could find a way to change that. Now that the Continental Championship is no more, the tournament may see a seismic shift that allows for MJF to win the tournament and find himself next in line to challenge Page.
