Battle of the Belts is a pretty big misstep all told. Only an hour but at the time people purchased tickets it wasn't made clear. I think a ton of us assumed Page-Danielson would be on that card.
Pretty obvious that the TV network dictated their desire for the show and AEW went ahead and obliged. But the fans are paying for 2 hours of Dark matches and then 2 title matches which might now only be 1.
If the Cody rumor is true, then maybe they have Page come in as the babyface he is and defend against Sammy, with the story being he's so beat up from Wednesday that Sammy has really good odds of winning?
Unless they have a really good make-up plan for the live audience, I'd be pretty bothered if I bought tickets for this show.
