Yeah, Kane had the title for 24 hrs. First Blood Match against Austin. Loved how they'd stack the deck against Austin. A bald guy in a First Blood Match against someone whose face is covered by a mask with a long wig attached was genius heel booking.
There's a part of the IWC who may want something like Sami vs KO for the title and while that'd be a great match, it probably wouldn't sell the amount of tickets TKO wants for a big PLE like Summerslam, so enter Cody once again. Punk and Cody is money but it doesn't need a title. I'd rather them have a long feud and the winner of their final match gets Sami, maybe at Survivor Series.
For Sami, he's likely known the plot for weeks and none of these guys take holding the title for a day or a week personally. It's why he's having a blast on the socials everyday with the belt. But man, neither Punk or Cody need to be champion right now.

If Punk vs. Cody can't sell tickets unless a title is attached to it then WWE has bigger problems to deal with. Big matchups like that should sell tickets on their own.
He is a guy I hope aew doesn’t pursue. Hes never done much for me. I’ve only seen him do the slow wwe style and I think he’d be forgotten in aew in two or three months.
WWE apparently told him to take a payout on his contract renewal, which is 100% reasonable given how they are using him though, and he rejected it and will be available in less than 90 days.
I like Sheamus matches when he's given a chance to have a good match. He's 48 though. AEW doesn't need him. A handful of appearances to set something up for All In if he is available for that? OK I can get behind that. But a full-time roster member? Pass.
