Don Callis and Trent recreating the Best Friends hug — while Don has his foot on a prone and bleeding Orange Cassidy — is like some evil mirror universe shit.

Giving Ospreay the shot at Swerve’s belt while he already holds the company’s other top belt is… a choice. I can’t really foresee Swerve being booked to lose so soon, I suppose Will’s reputation is solid enough that he can take a loss.

But why book these two together so quickly? Is some third party going to nose in and alter the circumstances?
