3) making Mox and the Death Riders' goals ambiguous means we can't care that much about them or their opposition. Both sides supposedly want to "save" AEW, but the why and how of it all is unsaid;

And liberals and MAGA are both fighting for the soul of America and "freedom"
Funny how both sides can see themselves as the heroes (while Mox is vocal about willing to be a necessary villain) in a spiritual battle over a nebulous ambiguous concept.
I'm fine with that kind of storytelling. But both liberals and MAGA can tell you what they think is wrong with the soul of America and how and why they want to change it. Death Riders haven't done that, really. It's all "trust me, you'll see."
4) we are seemingly moving on to Adam Copeland as the next challenger to Mox. I am more in favor of this than a lot of people on here - I like Cope and I think he has integrated into AEW pretty well. But I hate that Hangman and Jay White didn't get solo shots and now we are moving on.
In sum, it's a story that should be easy to do well but the way they are playing it just makes it impossible for me to care as much as I should. I'm way more invested in the Continental and International titles than the world title right now.
Ah come on we do... they're grapple puritans who want everything to be badass and cool no goofiness or whimsy, no frills no bits. AEW's salvation being brutal purity. no mxms, no timeless, no alien stat booping, no outrunners, dark order, no running gags about hangers dick, no dinner debonair
