Fairly sure that's the plan. Personally I really wanted Santana and Ortiz to get a run, and this summer would have been the time to do it, but instead TK had a boner for the Hardys (they were almost assuredly gonna win the titles a couple weeks ago).
Santana and Ortiz are also their own can of worms. Probably the most over team in the company besides FTR, but Santana wants to be a singles guy and Ortiz doesn't. So behind the scenes they aren't getting along and Santana is probably going to leave sooner than later. It's a shame because as a team they're pretty dynamite.

Yeah, Okada was sposed to hit him with a Rainmaker, which White would pin him off of after sending Okada out.
Instead Cole fell down before the Rainmaker and White ended up pinning him off of...nothing, really. Makes Cole look really weak to the general audience so that's unfortunate.
AEW is injury city right now. Time to bring in Wyatt.
It's worth noting that TK was the only person who knew about Claudio's signing up until a few days ago, so for anyone who thinks he and MJF couldn't keep an actual work close to the chest, there you go.

The amount of trust involved for that to happen is pretty crazy.

I have a pre-nerf magic 8-ball.
But yeah, have what I said on pretty good authority. Though now that Santana is injured, things with him might be up in the air entirely and he could get the singles run he wanted when he gets back, as they've pretty much been force broken up as a team by this. Ortiz and Kingston being a team for a while might be a thing, but I doubt it because Kingston has singles fish to go after.
Calling it now, All Out main event is gonna be Moxley vs either Jericho or Kingston. Probably the former because Kingston getting a shot at Grand Slam in NY might be too good to pass up.

Well o guess he kept it close to the chest that no one had proof, but literally ever fan assumed it was Claudio abd that led to the huge pop. No one was shocked they were happy.

No shit. It was a hell of a spot but I don’t think people realize that might be the most dangerous/hard to pull off spot I have ever seen. Much more involved than just taking a front bump onto padding.

Ceasaro looks like an absolute star, WWE were holding him back.
Most of the WWE guys have not looked better in AEW, hopefully they book him right as I think that Malakai Black had something but then ended up taking a few losses and feuding endlessly with Death Triangle.
These injuries could be a blessing in disguse.

Yeah, the audience is pretty smart.
What I meant is that no one in the company / dirtsheets knew Claudio was signed besides Claudio, TK, and Megha Parekh. Right up until a couple days before the debut when a couple of other wrestlers were informed of it (and then kept THEIR mouths shut until the PPV).
Particularly impressive in all of this is that Claudio was actually signed nearly a MONTH earlier, it turns out. Meaning they clandestinely signed him and it didn't get out. He was gonna be used as the ROH centerpiece and debut at Death Before Dishonor until they, thankfully, realized he was way too big for that.
All of this tells me that TK would have no trouble working the rest of the company/sheets with MJF or anything else. His inner circle is leak-proof.
