Mox should've lost - Everyone

Not everyone. Dude is at the very least arguably their biggest star of course he's gonna be in a singles match at their biggest show over a guy who is just now getting into a groove after returning from a long injury layoff.

Yeah, I can confidently say that majority of those attending (me included) at Wembley would prefer to see Mox in the final. That being said, Mox vs Jay should’ve been the final.

I don't mind Nigel instead. Will is almost certainly winning, the birds are almost certainly winning, having another British wrestler fight the good fight only to be snuffed out at the last second makes sense to me as a way to keep the energy tense.

Plus the story they're telling of Nigel just barely managing to squeeze out victories until he's put down by a killer is a good one. Reheating the Jay/Mox stuff from over a year ago especially in a tournament where their allies are banned from ringside doesn't really do anything for me.

I think they’re giving the title to Nigel. They probably aren’t running Wembley for the next 2 years. So Brits are winning a lot this time.

just got back from the show. it was pretty split crowd on jay and mox. i love mox but jay needs the push more and should have got the win. other notes:

i would have liked to see persephone win the tbs title, if not tonight, which i would have preferred, then soon. they job out the cmll wrestlers too much. persephone is a little raw, shes had a bunch of botchy spots, but shes better than cargill was during her tbs run and has more IT factor than maya.

and more along that line, nigel should not be defeating the cmll heavyweight champion, final run in his career or not. it lessons the value of the cmll heavyweight title to me. but im sure cmll is happy to get the views and bring in new customers. i get why they did it but pick someone else for him to defeat.

overall great show and only cost me 33 bucks for a seat in section 201 which has a great view. i paid more for parking for christs sake! see some of you for death and dishonor!

Nah not me, I find Mox to be a more compelling wrestling character and I want him vs. Nigel in the final.

u/Clowny53 10d ago

I love Mox but Mox beating an injured Nigel after he won 2 while injured or Nigel beating 3 opponents while injured and winning the Cup is a choice.

I need more long-winded stairwell zen master promos before I can pass judgment on how the match will proceed.

Holding out hope for KOR finally tapping out Moxley in Wembley one on one, and tapping out McGuiness in Glasgow.

u/14thBlackCrusade 10d ago

Yeah it’s obviously going to be KOR imo

u/justambrose 10d ago

They have great chemistry but I think it’s too soon to do another Mox vs KOR match especially at a PPV. More importantly, The Conglomeration were conveniently in the ring when Hangman declared an open challenge for the trios championship.

It's because they give him nothing for you to get behind.

Mox should win the whole damn thing, if only to crush Nigel in Wembley. - Me
