I was wondering how we’d eventually get to a Texas Death Match between the 6 without it feeling forced or unearned, and they knocked it out the park. Swerve orchestrating this entire story while Hangman, being aware of his true intentions, relentlessly attempted to prevent it from happening is brilliant. What started as a harmless exhibition has now descended into a deeply personal warfare between the two teams. Kofi & Creed went from, “We actually kinda like Bandido 👆🏾” to “We aren’t scared of Bandido’s bitch ass”, and you can directly pinpoint when and where Swerve intentionally planted those seeds. Brodido are in a position where they acknowledge that Swerve is attempting to drag them down to hell just to get to Hangman , but he’s went so far over the line that they’re willing to take it there simply off principle. New Level don’t even realize Swerve is manipulating them into fighting his battles, as they truly believe they’re making this decision on their own. It truly is the best thing in AEW at the moment. Just another incredible advancement of the story of Hangman and Swerve without it feeling forced or unnatural. It’s not hard to develop a rivalry without copy and pasting the same exact story beats repeatedly.
