It was telling to me that they didn't seem to reference the stipulation about Hangman/Dark Order not getting their title matches. JR even ended the segment with something like "bah god, you know Hangman is gonna get his title match against Omega someday!" As if they retconned it.
All the Punk and Bryan rumors started the week after they booked that 10-man tag, I have no idea how quickly talks came together or how long they were brewing before the news broke. But I really don't think they'd have written that segment the way they did if they new one or both of those guys was coming in for a big match at All Out.
It's a little clunky but I trust that Hangman is still going to get his big moment against Omega. I don't think the can is gonna be kicked that much further down the road. Maybe only a couple weeks to NYC.
