AEW Beach Break, Athena secures #1 spot; Maya World earns #2 in women's gauntlet
I thought this was a confusingly booked mixed tag match, and honestly, I'd have been down for it. #AEW
WOR: MJF vs Kenny Omega was originally planned for AEW Redemption PPV, but the company decided to bring it forward to next week to Beach Break instead. #AEW
I feel like it somehow ends up being a draw or a no-contest on Beach Break, and then they do it again at Redemption. - But, that may just be wishful thinking.
Because Max's knee needs to rest for a month.
my best guess is they want to give more build to will's match against mjf at all in instead of using all that time to do build up for this match, so they decided to move what will most likely be the match that results in kenny snapping and turning heel to next week.

I actually like this a lot more than Kenny winning at the PPV (if that is indeed the plan, which lol it certainly seems like it). Gives him a big PPV defense before facing Ospreay at Wembley. And pads Omega's reign a bit more. Kenny gets his "redemption" then he can pay it forward at the PPV.
Meanwhile, Meltzer is wringing his hands about the AEW World and International Championships being aired on Beach Break rather than Redemption and why it's being done, and not understand the fact that Beach Break is a major themed TV show. Um...no World Cup opposition?
Dave Meltzer should join bluesky because getting mad at your own terrible and/or unimaginative fantasy booking is a staple here. "What will they do!" as if AEW doesnt have an idea in mind for Redemption.
"Why do they keep giving us marquee matches on free television? Why are they not paywalling intriguing content?" Wrestling pundits, and a lot of its Fed-pilled fans, are some of the most broken-brained assholes on Earth.
