See, I get this to a degree but it’s the whole defending AEW bit when it’s not clear what AEW is. Mox isn’t destroying AEW, nothing has changed. So what are Darby and OC defending? Cope says nobody wants to be AEW champion on Collision. What? The whole fight for AEW doesn’t work when nothing changes - ThreadSky

Imo, I think you’re too caught up on the “defending AEW” idea as literal. They don’t have to literally save AEW because Mox isn’t trying to destroy it. The faces are trying to take back control of the AEW title because the person with the title is the face of the company…

And they feel he isn’t the best representative of AEW as the champion because of his obvious devious tactics to keep the belt and purposely harming other wrestlers. The heels/tweeners don’t care about any of that, they just want the title and the clout that comes with it.

And I think when you heard Cope say “nobody wants to be champion” he was quoting what Mox said in a earlier promo because Mox doesn’t think anyone is willing to do what needs to be done to be champion, in his view.

To up the ante, Hangman becomes the Champion MOX needs. Every King needs a Champion.
In their interactions there was something special between MOX & Hangman.
In Addition, aligning of The Elite with MOX, there is true power at play with that court. This story moves into Empire Strikes Back phase

You’ve made that assumption, but I don’t get any of that from what they’re actually doing or saying.

They’ve literally made those points in promos & on commentary. It wasn’t blatantly laid out in a 15 min in-ring speech, but that’s been the story since Mox attacked Bryan & later the younger wrestlers who are now champions. Go back and listen to Darby, Mox, Cope, Jay & MJF’s promos. It’s all there.

It’s all over the place, in my opinion.

Hey, that’s your opinion & that’s fine. I wasn’t sure this story was working until Worlds End & I heard that crowd chanting “fuck you Yuta” & “you deserve it” to Mox when Cope attacked him. That made it clear to me that AEW fans understand the story & are invested. The YouTube views shows the same.
