(3) Fallout from Revolution World Title Match: Swerve Promises To Retain Title at Dynasty, Cope Says He’ll Be the Champ By Then… Moxley Cuts Promo on Underestimating Cope
Participants:
Peripheral Participants:
Jay White
👉Christian also cut a promo, blaming the ref for his unsuccessful cash in. But as far as I’m concerned, no matter what he says, Christian’s no longer involved in this anymore. He blew his shot. Until i see that somehow he shoehorns his way back into this, i’m not including his segment in this storyline. He has other problems within his stable after his enormous failure… See Storyline #7…
Details:
-Backstage, Swerve cuts promo, saying he will win World title at Dynasty, like he did last year. Cope enters to say he didn't take the fall in his title match at Revolution, and is thinking he could be champ by the time Dynasty rolls around
-Backstage, Mox cuts promo saying he underestimated Cope, and should have had him taken care of before Christian cashed in.
-During, backstage interview, Rene asks Jay White if he nailed Cope on purpose last night during the World title match. Jay White says he didn't.

⭐️Kayhan: I actually liked Mox's promo and how he put Cope over. I didn’t have any problems with this, and I wasn’t as down on the PPV finish as many others were…. Well, all right. Mox vs Cope. Let’s tun it back! Any chance Dynasty is a 3 way with Mox Cope & Swerve??… And I would be surprised if Christian can somehow get back into this. I dont see how it would make good sense if he does, but you never know🤷♂️.

Participants:
Hurt Syndicate, MJF
Details:
-Footage of Hurt Syndicate being interviewed after Sunday's win is shown. MVP gives his boys the week off.

Apparently the two have a friendship, and although MVP respects MJF’s accomplishments, is dissapointed in his recent performances and offers him a path back to success. Although MJF flat out refused at first, by the end of this segment, he seemed to be considering it 🤔.

(7) Christian In Denial About Cash In Failure… Nick Wayne Can’t Keep His Mouth Shut About It, Leading To Intense Family Squabble
Participants:
Details:
-Backstage, Christian is interviewed with the Patriarchy. He refuses to be interviewed by Rene, since she’s related to Moxley. Christian blames the ref for losing his world title shot. Nick Wayne calls Christian out on his BS and Christian gets in Nick Wayne’s face. He also berates Christian’s mother for trying to stop him, telling her she’ll go back to waitressing, before telling Nick Wayne off and promising to become Worlds Champion one way or another.

⭐️Kayhan: Interesting that someone finally mentioned Rene is related to Moxley. Moxley should really do something about the blatant disrespect Christian showed his wife!!… Other than that. I am kinda liking the direction this can go in. Either, the Patriarchy break up, which is fine with me, or this gives Christian a bit of an arch on his way to a world title. I do think he should become champion at some point, but I don’t think it should be based on his past merit alone. If they can come up with some roundabout way to get Christian to the title, it would be better than if he just cashed in. His AEW character has some DEPTH now. I kinda think his way back into the title picture should be through Moxley and Rene, if they want to go in that direction…

(8) MJF Says He’s Not Done With Hangman… The Two Air It Out Backstage, We’ll See If Their Paths Cross Again…
Participants:
Peripheral Participants:
Lexi Nair
Details:
-Footage from last Sunday after MJF's loss. Lexi tried to get and interview but we see MJF angrily talking to himself in a mirror and runs off Lexi when he sees her.
-MJF cuts in ring promo on his loss to Hangman this past Sunday, saying their issues aren’t over, before being interrupted by MVP. See Storyline #5…
-Backstage, MJF interrupts Hangman's interview and the two have a discussion. Page accuses MJF of dropping the facade that he doesnt care what the people think of him, and doesn’t believe that MJF would have really lit him on fire. MJF retorts, saying Page will continuously slip up on his quest back to the top, and the fans will get tired of his failures, while he rises to the top over and over… It looks like they’re just gonna leave it at that…

⭐️Kayhan: Very interesting follow up to their match. I guess if something happens with the whole MJF/Hurt Syndicate thing then MJF’s loss will have had a purpose… As for MJF and Hangman, I kinda like how they left it. They’ll keep an eye out on each other and competitively try to out do each other, and possibly end up crossing paths again. I kinda like the soft conclusion with the posssibility for more in the future. I’ll give this a 👍. I’m fine with it.
