The entire Continental Classic round robin and finals ended up being a love letter to Eddie Kingston's fascination with Japanese pro wrestling. Since then, AEW has drafted in Eddie's heroes to battle arch rival Bryan Danielson, which has actually been a nifty use of the revolving door policy Tony Khan typically books.

Everything would come crashing down if Kingston lost his Continental Crown to Bryan on Sunday and was then forced to shake his hand in a perverse take on the pre-match stip thought to be solely there to humble Danielson. It might not be. It might end up becoming Eddie's burst bubble.

A unwanted Puroresu pop, if you like.

Kingston has held the Crown for less than two months, and that just isn't nearly long enough considering how emotional his journey from rags to riches was. Danielson is world class, of course, but it'd be rotten if he got to shatter Eddie's dreams so quickly.
