I think AEW has kinda booked themselves into a corner with the world title right now. Most of the credible world title contender talents are all older ex wwe guys (Mox, Danielson, Cole, Black, PAC, etc) and Punk has already worked programs with some of them since his return. Omega still out, Page just dropped the belt, so taking them out of the conversation who else is there? Wardlow obviously, but do you pull the trigger on him so soon after he worked a program with MJF vs Punk? Maybe Jay Lethal? It seems real thin at the top over there.
WWE has a similar issue with a lack of true main event talent right now but they have a bunch of midcarders with enough credibility to shove into a main event feud if they need to.
