I could have shat out a better card without a moment’s thought:
* Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson
* Christian Cage vs. Adam Cole
* The Young Bucks vs. Jungle Boy & TBA (ends up being Adam Page)
* CM Punk, Sting, Darby Allin & The Varsity Blonds vs. The Pinnacle
* Chris Jericho vs. Miro
* Sammy Guevara vs. Cody Rhodes for the TNT Title
* Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa
* Serena Deeb vs. Hikaru Shida
* Malakai Black vs. PAC
I don’t even like the product and can follow TK’s own storylines better. How is that not a better card? Omega and Danielson was the obvious direction and is a better match than Omega/Page. Cage vs. Cole happens and can actually put Cole over while The Bucks can put over Jungle Boy & Page, who subs for an injured Luchasaurus (who sucks, let’s get real).
Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa is bigger and better than Tay Conti. Serena Deeb and Hikaru Shida had something that could have very easily been pushed to the PPV to give another babyface woman a moment. Chris Jericho can get destroyed by Miro for whatever that’s worth. You’re paying for both guys, you might as well use them. Encourage Jericho to take some time off to go to rehab or something. But that at least follows up on Miro dropping the TNT Title to Sammy, who can defend it against a heel Cody Rhodes, who turns on Sammy like Sammy did on the first Dynamite.
Punk, Sting, Darby and The Varsity Blonds teaming against The Pinnacle makes sense. They all have some sort of issue with MJF. Punk gets in by virtue of being Darby’s friend. It’s November — you could make this an elimination match with proper faces and heels. And Punk can actually cut promos on a heel instead of working against the Tommy Dreamer of this company. PAC and Malakai Black would just be a heel you’re pushing going against a face that can make him look great. It’s better than Cody and Andrade getting involved for no reason.
That didn’t take any imagination whatsoever.
