Just make sure you give her a quick grope down below, before you do anything with her.
Best storyline I have seen ever. They are working TF out of us
I have been largely unimpressed with MJF. He is good on the mic, sometimes excellent, but he had to start begging for the boos a few months back. People were just not as into his gimmick as they had been. His infrequent ring activity also turned me off. Punk was right that Baker had replaced him as one of the 4 pillars a while back.It’s unlikely it’s a work. MJF wants to go to WWE as it’s where he can earn the greatest fame and salary, while at the same time working a much less intense in ring style. He could easily have a 16 year career there and be set for his life, notwithstanding movie opportunities that may arise. AEW will have to really overpay to keep him (ala $7M per year). I would actually lean towards them going that route, as I could see MJF as a long term heel champion for them much like Flair was for JCP.
He’s a unique talent.

As to Punk, it seems like AEW didn't have much choice but to out the belt on him, particularly in light of all the other storylines they are building/convoluting. Hangman lacks the "it" factor to be champ for any extended period of time. They've already worked through the older options like Moxley and Jericho. I don't see anybody else, positioned for a single's run now, who can do it. So I guess you go with Punk, break a couple guys out of other storylines (maybe Sammy?) and see where that goes.
It may also be that AEW just has too much talent and too much going on. They are cross-promoting with New Japan and taking over ROH. You have guys like Jay Lethal or KS who just have no real place and all kinds of people dropping in and out (ElIdalo, and a ton on the women's side). My other ***** is about J.R.. He is clearly back to his WWE days where big men equalled money. The problem is AEW's sweet spot is mid-size guys. It only has about 3-4 dudes in excess of 260 pounds (Wardlow, Limitless, Luchasaurus) that seem to even really register. And, if you give one of them the strap, you really limit realistic options. Darby v. Keith Lee? C'mon.
Also, I understand how badly MJF wants to be Flair, but let that kid work 60 minute matches, and work 6 days week, for a few decades, and then we can compare the total packages they bring to the table.
I want Eddie to take the title off of a heel Punk. Let Kingston win in NYC, giving him a Foley-esque moment.I think with Punk that there are a few options that can carry the company for the remainder of the year.
1) Punk turns heel as only Punk can - admitting he only came back for the money and that he despises the wrestling community. Nonetheless, as long as Tony pays him dollars that make Roman envious, he'll continue to hang around. At least until WWE and the better Khan (Nick) puts him in the HoF, at which point he'll retire and enter the hall with the AEW title. Omega returns in the fall to try to wrest the title back from him.
2) Miro returns tonight and obliterates Punk, setting up a nice three month feud
3) We revisit the Darby / Punk storyline and build the former up
4) Adam Cole (unfortunately) gets a run at Punk and wins the title
The thing about MJF going to the WWE is that he’s not an original NXT homegrown performer...It’s unlikely it’s a work.

Forgot about Kingston. Under the right circumstances, absolutely!I want Eddie to take the title off of a heel Punk. Let Kingston win in NYC, giving him a Foley-esque moment.
1. Reports are that Omega needed multiple surgeries and is unlikely to come back as the Bout Machine, more likely in tag work.I think with Punk that there are a few options that can carry the company for the remainder of the year.
