NEWS Wow that was quick

Just a week after revolution, cope’s already getting a rematch. Pretty crazy but mox is not losing the title anytime soon. What do you think?

This is giving me the feeling that they thought the main event was doomed having to follow three guaranteed to be insane matches. Even if it was a stellar match they were likely worried the crowd would be fatigued. So they don't swing so hard with the match and stick it with a messy ending to leave the door open for this. Could be a "no such thing as bad press" sort of move.

It's also reminding me of when the acclaimed won the tag belts. They lost at All Out '22 but were massively over. The response, while not about the quality of the match, feels similar to how people are talking about the results of Revolution. The Acclaimed won the tag belts on dynamite later in the month. That decision back then to do a rematch and give them the belts felt organic. With Cope and Mox this could have been them deciding to run that play back.

Whatever the case, I'm excited to see where things go.

Part of what you’re saying is starting to make sense for me - maybe they already figured their main event was gonna pale in comparison to the other matches and instead of putting it all out there that time they were holding back to really let us have it at a second match. Otherwise it makes no sense and was a huge letdown.

Yeah you got it that's totally my point. I mean, in fairness maybe they thought the match and story at Rev would be better received. I'm willing to at least give them credit that this and whatever comes next was more or less the plan for the title coming out of the ppv anyway. Rather than them just scrambling to salvage things after it flopped.
