6. House Of Black Splitting?!

Admittedly, this is guesswork more than something based on tangible evidence, but what more do House Of Black have left to achieve as a unit? It might well be time to pull the trigger on a split and see if Brody King vs. Malakai Black works as a feud. Meanwhile, Buddy Matthews and Julia Hart can spin off into their own things.

Something just sounds right about Black vs. Brody. The former would be motivated to make the latter look amazing, and King has shown he's capable of rising to the occasion when AEW shines the spotlight on him. Why not try that on for size again and put HOB on ice?

Another stab at the Trios Titles would be same old, same old after Wembley, and no-one needs to see a rinse and repeat rematch between them and The Acclaimed. Splitting like they're called The Outcasts could kick off some fresh feuds/matches.

Worth a shot.
