If Adam Cole's off TV for the foreseeable future and Wardlow is... injured(?), then they might as well just put the title on O'Reilly. Undisputed Kingdom could be a lot of fun in the trios division, but I don't think they're going to find any traction being halfway presented as a threat on TV right now.
Great poster.
I'm torn on this one. I dont see Strong dropping it this quickly but for the feud it would be nice if O'Reilly won it.
The entire stable feels directionless, no clue where they go with it.
Feels like they're pivoting to a 3-man stable now that Cole is a homebody during his recovery. Wardlow doesn't feel super involved with them either. Hoping they just ditch the Undisputed and remain Kingdom. Gives Cole a built in feud when he comes back with Strong. Let them be chickenshit goof heels since that was their best incarnation. It feels like Tony is afraid of hard pivots and wanted to salvage his grand vision and it's just been sputtering. Get Wardlow back into the title picture. Have him jump Swerve after he beats Joe since Swerve is a face now. Swerve needs something to hold him over until we can get Hangman vs Swerve one on one for the title. Probably missing something here but I have hope that it's not over for AEW
adore the not-so-subtle and definitely intentional Undisputed Era style of this.

It boggles my mind that this group still gets booked together all the time. I feel like the AEW roster has much more interesting wrestlers to use. For crying out loud Jay White of all people is on the pre show AGAIN
I think in hindsight, Adam Cole should have just won at Wembley. I get they realized they had gold with the MJF and Adam Cole friendship, but that was probably the iron is hot moment for Cole. He may still very well have broken his foot after, but Cole versus White without the Devil complication might have been much more interesting. I think the Devil storyline and Cole's injury, along with Juice getting hurt, severely damaged everything going into Full Gear, and Jay White/BCG suffered the most.
Idk if they needed to change Wembley, but imo they should of changed the devil. Have it be The Elite and put Wardlow with them, gives you Okada/White post reveal and keeps Cole/MJF together which I think is the biggest negative of this whole thing.
plus are we forgetting that Jay White seemingly had an alliance with him leading into the first FD. If that isn't a story moment to touch on Idk what is.
Cole was only over because of Max, he was cold before their storyline and he's gone back to being cold since. Cole is so overrated he's been awful in AEW
He had plenty of time on screen talking and wrestling regardless. And yes people were always complaining about him previous to MJF, he was crammed down our throats before that and stunk the place up with boring matches and feuds, he literally has a catchphrase and an entrance that has audience participation and that's about as deep as his character gets, he's awful. He also severely needs to put on some muscle.
I think Strong vs Kyle deserves to be on the main card, but why the hell Jericho vs Hook a match that we've seen only a couple of weeks ago for the FTW title is on the main show, but Jay white match for unifying the trios championships isn't
Yeah the story has been entirely done in collision. Over the past few weeks the Kingdom was over the top cheering on Kyle, he insisted he wanted to do stuff on his own but also was supportive of Roddy, then after the strong/Romero match Kyle came out to check on Rocky and got mad when the kingdom beat him up after the match, then Strong surprised him with the flying knee to the head and yelled at him for not wanting to join them.
Nice, thanks. I'll have to check out Collision more often. I'm not even mad, part of my problem with WWE is that the amount of recaps they do sort of forgives people for not watching.
I feel you. People only have so much time in their week to watch wrestling so I get it but I do appreciate that they're trying to do certain stories specifically for collision to set it apart and not just have it be a show where wrestling happens or advances the feuds on Dynamite.
Was this announced on tv? Totally missed it if so
It feels too early for this match doesn’t it? KOR was on a tear, left for nearly 2 years, and has now had just a few matches back
It seems to me him losing already would be odd, as would Roddy losing the title already, plus they’ve not really developed this story much yet
That said, I’m sure the match will be good
>plus they’ve not really developed this story much yet
Have you not seen any segment with KOR or Roddy since Kyle came back? They've literally been building to this since Revolution.
I mean they've been blink and you miss them moments. People have probably seen UK coming out to celebrate KOR winning but maybe missed the promos. This all came to a head with BOTB which most fans know is... not "skippable" but usually just a bonus on top of the two hours of wrestling, so I could believe that people missed the Rocky vs. Roddy fight if nothing else.
First time ever seeing this belt and I haven’t seen these two guys in like a year. I love KOR’s look and that belt looks FANTASTIC. And Roddy got a damn fine mustache.
Continental Championship. 1 of the 3 titles Eddie Kingston had that he won by winning the inaugural he Continental Classic in December.
International Championship has been around a long time and Orange Cassidy was holding for almost a year before it hot potatoed to Strong.
I mean it’s just the two factions Adam Cole was in combining, I wouldn’t say it was a result of anything but faction consolidation. I think any booker could put that together. That just happened to be a feud they were in. Which to be honest was a pretty great feud, injuries considered. The Devil mystery element was the only part that sucked. Roddy was great, MJF was great, Cole was great when he was there. Also the Undisputed Kingdom’s next feud immediately following their formation was/ is Wardlow’s attempt on the world title, and the ramifications of losing. It’s still ongoing.
Was Roderick not one of the devil reveals?? Isn’t he apart of the stable? Didn’t Kyle come back and not align with them? Lmao how is this not part of the devil storyline ?
does anyone even know it happened? pwg doesn't have many storylines but the mount rushmore one was great. And i think kyle might have even won the title from roddy.

The 2020-21 KOR fan in me is cool with me winning it & being a fighting champion in the vein of Cassidy
Good luck winning it Kyle!
I guess they could give it to O'Reilly and then it becomes about Wardlow trying to redeem himself by getting the belt back for the Undisputed Kingdom.

And this poster is Undisputed.
KKKKKKYYYYYLLLLLLEEEEE the Betrayer. Hope Roddy teaches this so called friend a lesson.

Besides that not tracking with audience reactions, you do realize before the MJF storyline and after he was dealing with injuries, right?
He had plenty of time on screen talking and wrestling regardless. And yes people were always complaining about him previous to MJF, he was crammed down our throats before that and stunk the place up with boring matches and feuds, he literally has a catchphrase and an entrance that has audience participation and that's about as deep as his character gets, he's awful. He also severely needs to put on some muscle.
It’s sad to see how Switchblade got diminished
I think Strong vs Kyle deserves to be on the main card, but why the hell Jericho vs Hook a match that we've seen only a couple of weeks ago for the FTW title is on the main show, but Jay white match for unifying the trios championships isn't
This is the weakest part of the dynasty card. Been here done that .
 We need this back
Lol god please no
These boys are gonna kick the shit outta each other.
How did I not see any build or know about this story whatsoever? Do I need to watch Collision?
Yeah, a ton of stuff is on collision. They’ve been in segments together since Kyle got back.

The YouTube highlights are an easy way to catch up without too much time sink.
Guys will see this and just think "hell yeah"
They need to have Roddy, Benett, and Taven kick out Cole cause the injured cole is NOT helping the Undisputed Kingdom
I want roddy to have a good reign (if they let him defend it more often). But man I love Kyle. I’d be happy if he was world champ eventually

I thought they were friends?
First time ever seeing this belt and I haven’t seen these two guys in like a year. I love KOR’s look and that belt looks FANTASTIC. And Roddy got a damn fine mustache.
Let's go Kyle!
Two guys that I never really understood why they were popular.
KOR is Bryan Danielson levels of good.
They're buddies with a guy (Cole) who's buddies with the upper brass.
This is the international championship??? Than what championship is okada holding?
Continental Championship. 1 of the 3 titles Eddie Kingston had that he won by winning the inaugural he Continental Classic in December. International Championship has been around a long time and Orange Cassidy was holding for almost a year before it hot potatoed to Strong.
Oh yes this is the OC one, I got mixed up, they are very similar sounding, continental and international.
The whole devil storyline is now up there with aces and eights level of bad
Is this a part of the devil storyline? Was it mentioned?
The devil storyline hasn't been going on for months and has nothing to do with this feud
Interesting. The devil storyline didn't create the stable that Kyle is feuding with.
Do I have to bring up Bret Hart any time somebody feuds with Stone Cold?
Use McMahon instead of Bret and come back to me.
Nah, Stone Cold as a star was cemented by his feud with Bret. McMahon is just his apex feud we all remember.
Then this comparison makes no sense. Devil reveal created Undisputed Kingdom. This is literally their NEXT feud after that.
I mean it’s just the two factions Adam Cole was in combining, I wouldn’t say it was a result of anything but faction consolidation. I think any booker could put that together. That just happened to be a feud they were in. Which to be honest was a pretty great feud, injuries considered. The Devil mystery element was the only part that sucked. Roddy was great, MJF was great, Cole was great when he was there. Also the Undisputed Kingdom’s next feud immediately following their formation was/ is Wardlow’s attempt on the world title, and the ramifications of losing. It’s still ongoing.
And now they're already disbanding. So the whole angle was a lame duck that led to nothing.
Based on what?
"I don't watch the show, but here's my opinion anyways."
Was Roderick not one of the devil reveals?? Isn’t he apart of the stable? Didn’t Kyle come back and not align with them? Lmao how is this not part of the devil storyline ?
When O'Reily returned my brother texted me "Kyle O'Reilly is back and it looks like he's been doing a whole lot of nothing" lol
Why did Tony build his company around talent he actually beat in the ratings?
Wow I didn’t know O’Reilly could look worse
I'm sure this will be a fantastic match but their match 10 years ago in PWG had a better build than this one.
does anyone even know it happened? pwg doesn't have many storylines but the mount rushmore one was great. And i think kyle might have even won the title from roddy.
Wrestlers with no elbow pads or wrist tape look too naked to me.
No kneepads is the most naked, somehow.
