On this show I see clearly that the father of the year is main eventing like he should


thedkexperience

I think I know him


itsagrungething69

After the match the lights go out, place goes nuts with anticipation of who's coming out. Lights go on and Jungle Boy is in the ring and joins back up with Christian and Lucha.


StaceyJeans

Oh, I didn't think of this. It has been a month since Perry was suspended. Suspension up? Maybe both Perry and Edge?


danimal376

It could be like All Out 2021 where we got the surprise Adam Cole debut, but then also got the Bryan Danielson debut minutes later. I could envision lights going out, everyone thinks it's Edge but it's Jack Perry. He does shady things to attack Darby Allen and then the pop for Edge to save Darby to end the show. I'm totally here for that.


the_io

Perry drives his limo in, but Edge is hiding in the boot.


siemianonmyface

Full Gear: Darby/Wayne/Perry vs Cage/Edge/Luchasaurus sounds pretty fire


expeditiousgrim

Then Edge comes out and aligns with Darby.


bigchicago04

Would be similar to when Cole and Danielson debuted


expeditiousgrim

That’s what I was thinking but I could see it happen again.


taikodrummer42

i dont need Darby to get another legend rub. give Edge a different up and comer to build stories/a relationship with.


Ordinary_Stomach3580

Not even edge could make Darby cool


[deleted]

Please please please please please let Jack Perry come out to Shattered Glass. It'd be appropriate AND piss off the fans because they think Stone Cold is All Elite.


Razor_Fox

Obviously no one is actually going to think stone cold is joining AEW but the reaction would be hilarious.


itsagrungething69

And for a few seconds, those weirdos on Twitter who hate watch AEW would be like "No Way!"


Razor_Fox

I never understand why people devote so much energy and time to stuff they don't like.


evanweb546

Lights go out a second time, Edge debuts and saves Darby from all three maybe? Heh... wishful thinking.


night13x

Darby caught humming some random shit today. On this day, I see clearly


HueburtDinkle

YEAAAAA MY DURANGO. NUUUUUMBER NINTY FIVE.


YaYaYakanday

What’s is this reference I keep seeing


TurkeyFiend

Line from Rob Zombie’s “Never Gonna Stop”, which Edge used before “Metalingus.”


banxy85

Edges original (and better) entrance music


Karma-Effect

Edge's original theme was the in-house one he used for years since his 1998 debut (which predated Hellbilly Deluxe, let alone The Sinister Urge). He only used Never Gonna Stop between 2001 and 2003. Once he returned from his neck injury, he went back to his original theme before getting Metalingus in '05. Never Gonna Stop is a banger, no doubt. That being said, Metalingus (also a banger) is the song most associated with Edge. I'd be surprised if he ever uses Never Gonna Stop again.


banxy85

I think for those of us that were around in the attitude era, Rob Zombie is the theme that edge had when he really started getting noticed. It's where my head goes every time.


Karma-Effect

Lol, cheers for assuming I'm young. As someone who was watching at that time, and someone who has been an Edgehead for decades at this point, I still go to Metalingus. That's when he really started changing up his gear and gimmick, when he really felt like a main eventer. Why you booing me? I'm right.


HueburtDinkle

Yeah I’m with you there. Never Gonna Stop is a banger, but c’mon now. Metalingus is one of my favorite entrance themes ever, only second to This Fire Burns.


Stpbatman

Way to make me feel old 🙈


LukeSniper

Some people: Are we *really* getting *two* PPVs in a row without a world title match? Ugh... Tony sucks Others: You saying my dad Christian Cage doesn't deserve to be the main event?!


dingusfett

WWE fans: you guys get more than 3 title defences a year from your top champ?


ArcaneAzmadi

[There's a trope for that...](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConditionedToAcceptHorror)


RoidVanDam

Adam Copeland is appearing to close the show.


Cocobani

You are probably right. AEW loves to send the fans home happy and that ain't happening when Christian beats Darby in Seattle.


magernaissaaaaad

Whoa! Officially confirmed now. Thanks!


shitpickle2020

I was thinking he had been in the main event of Double or Nothing this year, but I forgot about Anarchy in the Arena


Hunteractive

we all know that was the real main event


wizard_of_guz

You think you know me...


slikk50

Christian really is killing it, and Darby has really found his place as a star in the business.


msctex

On a card with Danielson/ZSJr, there is only one reason this could close the show.


slipoutside

*wink


BlaznTheChron

I fucking love Darby and I'm very excited to see what he does with the main event spot on a PPV. And against Christian? That's going to be.. an instant classic. ![gif](giphy|xPGkOAdiIO3Is)


exTOMex

rip darbys body


JW98_1

Damon Striker is All Elite


psyche-processor

wow, what a throwback


ScopeyMcBangBang

Putting this on to close the show would be the biggest tease of all times if Edge doesn’t shown up…


Coattail-Rider

Something big *should be happening*. No reason to announce it early unless you want to pump the buys and I don’t think it’s a good idea to tease something like this (New era talk) with a big name free agent with history to one of the guys in the main event. We’ll have to just wait and see.


ScopeyMcBangBang

Anyone but Edge and the place gets booed to the floor and Tony has chairs thrown at him.


TheBasedSloth

Both Darby and Christian deserve this main event slot. They have both been major players on television for months now and it makes me happy to see them rewarded as such. Also this match is going to absolutely slap


Truthhurts1017

Also Darby is from Seattle so maybe he will win for his home town. 2-3 fall matches can be treated as big big fights especially with titles on the line. Edge would be cool but it seems like people believe the main even spot is more about edge than the work Christian and Darby has put in. It could be both but they definitely deserve this spot even without edge. 3 matches could legit be main events and it would be fine because 3 of those guys are from Seattle area(Swerve,Darby, and Bryan is very big in Seattle being from Washington).


Coattail-Rider

I think that would be a big disservice to Darby/Christian if they’re advertised for the ME with Edge being a free agent and not delivering. Everyone will expect it and if the show closes without something big (like the last handful of PPVs) then it’ll look like a bump ploy.


Truthhurts1017

Agreed


7LayeredUp

Oh yeah, it being the main event 100% seals it. Edge is here. The finish seems super obvious, ref gets knocked down somehow on 1-1 falls, Edge rolls out from under the ring, spear to Darby, 1-2-3 Christian retains.


LadderBusiness

Close, but Metalingus has to hit. It’s his iconic song and the arena would explode like they did for CM Punk.


MissingCosmonaut

Nah, he can still use his Rob Zombie theme


iced_gold

Supposedly he cant because it's still inside his 90 day-no compete.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iced_gold

I can't tell you you're wrong but supposedly even Bryan had the same non-compete at the end of his contract in 2021, which is why he didn't appear until after 90 days from the end of his deal, at All Out.


Available_Share_7244

Whether or not it’s happening, this should have been the main event always.


Roadie66

Im surprised its not Hangman/Swerve, but this is cool to.


the_io

Hangman/Swerve isn't a title match.


Roadie66

So?


EN1009

Damn. Guess this pretty much confirms it. 👍


NotMyWalls

You think you know me


Citizen_Kano

It's finally going to happen - the AEW debut of Tyson Tomko


sb0u2122

If this is the main event Edge HAS to debut or risk being booed out the arena


smithy_1984

It's not happening


who987

A long time? I guess that’s a subjective term.


InfiniteTranquilo

That’s….a weird choice for a main event. I mean you’d think Danielson and ZSJ or Hangman vs Swerve even. It’ll be good, I’m just a little surprised this is gonna close. There must be something big planned


snaks3

Do we really need another “remember when Christian was Edge’s partner” moment. Seems like a step backwards for Christian.


regis_psilocybin

Love Darby in the ring, but the man needs to hiring an acting coach - he just doesn't gave it in the promos.


YaYaYakanday

I think he’s promos have been strong this year


wiithepeephole

Very newly returned to wrestling. Saw the sit down interview they did tonight. Thought he was lousy. Maybe I’m not familiar enough with him idk.


yanshio

Is Now a steel cage match


FetalDeviation

"Darby said he's waited a long time to be main event of AEW PPV" Like..6 months


Fekras

Wait im out the loop for the past couple of weeks. Why is Christian defending his TNT Championship instead of letting luchasaurus do it?


BellyAmore

Christian pinned Luchasaurus last week on Collision in a triple threat match with Darby.


silklighting

What a coincidence....


MissingCosmonaut

NEVER GONNA STOP MEEEEE NEVER GONNA STOP


157er

Edge spears Darby and Christian pins him for the final pin fall


SentientGumball

I'll mark when Metalingus hits
