It’s a story development. If it gets split and down the road they want to re-unify them, you have a built in plot device. Maybe Take wins the C2, and then comes for Okada’s International title so he can show he’s worthy of being the Unified champion too.

I think they could’ve solved it by calling it the Unified Global Championship bc they are simultaneously the international champion and continental. Continental is the same as North American. Combine them and you have another World title. I’m okay with the C2 being the only time it can be split.

I think after Cena leaves their next nostalgia play will be Jericho and they probably will bring back Saraya to do a nostalgia program with AJ. Not sure how much it will help them though.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens after Cena’s gone. I’ve seen a few Youtubers complaining they are going to watch Cena’s retirement bc it’s Cena but they’re done after that. Lots of ppl in their comments in agreement too.
November 26, 2025 at 12:15 PM
They’ll do things that are unpopular even though they could make the fans happy. Which now that I expand on that it goes against my point. 😄 This subversion with LA would be the opposite of that.
November 26, 2025 at 12:21 AM
Oh, no, I haven’t watched since they got in bed with the Saudis. I get snippets of info from social media and Youtubers. This is going back, but they usually subvert in bad ways, like Brock beating Taker’s streak. Or Brock squashing Cena.
November 26, 2025 at 12:18 AM
Exactly. That’s where I think it’ll fail. I think it’s just a bone they’re throwing and will ultimately disappoint bc it won’t mean he’s moving him up.
November 26, 2025 at 12:02 AM
Exactly. It’s obvious they have no interest in moving them up. I think if WWE doesn’t care about LA Knight fans, which is likely, Gunther will win. But keep in mind LA is probably pushing behind the scenes for more. I think Trips will see it as a way to subvert while placating both LA and the fans.
November 26, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Yeah but WWE is famous for subverting what the fans think is certain to happen. Let me put it this way. If LA won instead of Gunther would you think it was a good decision for WWE to make?
November 25, 2025 at 11:50 PM
Yeah but giving him Cena’s retirement gets the haters off their back a little bit without putting him in the main event scene. I think they’ll use it to stall him longer in the midcard.
November 25, 2025 at 11:47 PM
Dang. Yeah Tony better make sure to replace it with something for the UK viewers. I’m not sure how accessible HMAX is in countries outside the US.
November 25, 2025 at 7:24 PM
I doubt they’ll ever push him into the top title picture, but if they do I bet he’ll get a short run like Kofi and then Brock will demolish him in a squash and he’ll never be in the main event title picture again.
November 25, 2025 at 7:12 PM
Agreed. In AEW Kyle would be the one deserving of the Cena rub. I think, though, they’re actually planning to throw LA Knight fans a bone. My prediction is, he wins and retires Cena. Everyone thinks they did something good for a bit, then after a few months he’ll lose the IC title.
November 25, 2025 at 7:12 PM
Hahaha good point. 😂
November 25, 2025 at 5:26 PM
Yeah, I’m not sure. It seemed from his last social media post he was doing well and ready to come back. I wonder if it’s him that’s leery of returning or if Tony’s just not booking him.

Maybe, in kayfabe have Eddie be in contact with a mystery person. Swerve knows and gets pissed. Due to the imbalance in numbers they need a 4th and Eddie’s guy would tip the scales. Swerve reluctantly agrees to meet him on the following Dynamite. Swerve is in the ring and then “I AM KEITH LEE…”
November 25, 2025 at 5:18 PM
The only other big surprise addition I’d want to add to the team of Hangman, Swerve and Eddie is Keith Lee. He has a connection with Swerve they can work from and it would be dope to be able to inject him into the main event scene. Hobbs vs Lee and Joe vs Lee would make for such great matches. #AEW
November 25, 2025 at 5:12 PM
But I don’t understand why the person who wins the C2 would also be the International champion. That’d make no sense.
November 25, 2025 at 4:29 AM
I said when they merged them that they were going to stay merged until Okada loses the C2. I agree though, I’d rather they keep them merged. Otherwise, why create the National championship?
November 25, 2025 at 4:28 AM
Not reading that. Eric uses AEW to grift views. He’s so full of crap.
