...The Gunns bagging those belts.

It'd be all Roderick Strong's fault too, but not intentionally. No-one's suggesting he intentionally screw MJF out of the ROH Tag Titles, or something like that. If anything, Strong, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett should try their best but end up screwing things up for Friedman and his injured mate.

That'd keep things ticking on TV, and put across the point that no solo wrestler can successfully hang on to tag straps forever. Not even with a brilliant partner like Roddy! Come the post-Full Gear edition of Dynamite, Strong would apologise to Cole via video link, then slowly start blaming Max for the loss over time.

There's value in matches like Strong vs. Cole and Strong vs. MJF if AEW plays their cards correctly. Of course, seeing MJF and Cole unite to beat the snot out of Taven and Bennett would also be a hoot. Putting those ROH straps on The Gunns would help their cause too.
