AEW All In 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

Also, how the heck do they finish the match without wrecking anyone's momentum? Things could get even worse if Cole has to take the fall from Kyle Fletcher or Mark Davis, basically. Putting the ROH Tag belts on Cole and MJF doesn’t sound like a workable long-term strategy, so someone has to lose unless AEW books a screwy finish.

If Cole eats a pin, then he’ll shed some credibility before the biggest match of his life.

That's a major bummer, and it just doesn't add up. Why did TK think this was a solid idea when he was mapping things out? Aussie Open could've worked against another team, and then MJF vs. Cole would've retained some lustre. This is an unnecessary chapter in the story.

Scripting a title change won't particularly put extra sauce on the World Title scrap anyway. It'll actually render that showdown fairly defunct, because it won't be the end of MJF vs. Cole. Honestly, this is such a puzzling idea.
