With Dynamite in Winnipeg this week, I find it weird that AEW would not be doing something with Christian Cage on that show if he was still available. They’re bringing in Stu Grayson because they’re in Canada. The show is being built around Jericho and Omega being from Winnipeg.
I guess Christian is a heel and could do something on Rampage if they tape it there, but it just seems weird to me that they rushed through this Jungle Boy thing. They could have had Christian beat Jungle Boy at Revolution, do a celebration as Canada’s greatest hero this week, had Jungle Boy attack him and challenge him to the gimmick match. Double or Nothing is a fair way away, so I can understand their reluctance to stretch it for another 2 months, but given that it started at Double or Nothing with the Casino Battle Royal, it would make thematic sense.
Christian debuted with AEW March 7th, 2021. If he signed a literal 2-yr deal to the date, Revolution 2023 happening March 5th would explain why they rushed straight to this match. It could also explain why it seemed Jungle Boy was a bit emotional after the match.
I dunno, something just struck me about how rushed this was, even for AEW.
