Within the last six months, we’ve seen MJF vs. Wardlow, Jericho vs. Santana/Ortiz, Starks vs. Hobbs and now we can add Jungle Boy vs. Luchasaurus to the list and possibly JAS/Garcia to come.
Is it fair to say that AEW is a little too dependent on this particular trope?
Also what would you say is the best case of this angle being used and the result being great matches and both guys coming out ok? I’d have to guess it’s either Shawn and Marty (just look how many times Vince hired him) or Rollins and Ambrose.
Since Rollins and Reigns were the tag champs I’d call them the answer.
