The above screenshot isn't from Sunday's pay-per-view. No, it was lifted from Friday's episode of Rampage instead. There, right before a tidy little match also starring Rocky Romero, Eddie Kingston was approached by Jay Lethal and entourage about a potential ROH World Title clash.

It'd be insane if AEW didn't see that idea through.

Lethal vs. Kingston sounds like one heck of a party. Eddie is loving life just now, and is hot off another top match vs. Katsuyori Shibata at WrestleDream. He's riding the crest of a wave, in other words, and would no-doubt adore the chance to lock horns with someone like Lethal next.

All Elite don't have to book this on the main card at Full Gear if they don't want to, but it would be a real shame if TK didn't stick it on Dynamite or Collision over the coming weeks. Hell, put it on Rampage as a main event and give these boys some hype heading in.
