***You correctly predicted that Darby was winning the belt, and I saw you and Jon Alba on The Hump both say that you guys think that Willow is winning the women's championship from Thekla and that she's gonna face Mercedes at All In. So what's your prediction on Kenny/MJF on Dynamite next week?
I can't say for certain Kenny Omega is going to win the championship on Dynamite, but I've always believed that Kenny Omega was going to win the world title from MJF and head to AEW All In to face Will Ospreay, who will then beat him. MJF is in charge of the direction of a lot of his creative, but I can't speak to why this match was moved up, or if it's a bait and switch to get to the PPV. I do think Omega is champion this month, though.
Has anyone seen(a) Tamina?
She's not really at the shows, despite being listed on the roster. That seems to come up here and there. She's not factored in creatively whatsoever, and hasn't wrestled in years. Once the new regime took over, she wasn't used anymore, but was occasionally backstage. She was actually seen speaking with CM Punk when he showed up at Raw while still under AEW contract. She's almost 50 and hasn't competed in over three years, so it's quite likely we won't see her again.
Where do you think the next All In is going to be. And any rumors of where All Out will be next?
This is a hunch, not a prediction. I think that the ticket sales in London this year are an indicator that it just isn't as special there as it was. Granted, they've exceeded Dallas last year, so maybe I'm just dumb. But if I were AEW, I'd run a major North American show to help fill the void of WrestleMania not being in the states, and I'd make it as affordable as possible. On a Saturday, not on an expensive holiday weekend.
