AEW found themselves in a very interesting situation after CM Punk was injured and now he needs surgery. The exact nature of Punk’s injury was not made public, but he also won’t have to relinquish his title. AEW figured out a complicated Interim Title situation, because that’s how Tony Khan rolls. Dewey Foley had a great idea about how they could solve this interim champion problem, but TK went his own way with things.

Mick Foley’s son, who is also WWE writer, tweeted out to suggest a 64-man tournament to decide a new interim champion. That might have been some subtle and brilliantly worded shade since AEW has often been dragged over their massive roster size. Let’s also not forget how the idea TK came up with was also a bit confusing and complicated when they first announced plans.

I think AEW has enough male talent to fill out a 64-man field. I would have loved to see an incredibly historic/loaded/huge tournament to find the interim champ w/ seeding based off records. I don’t know their product 100% and understand logistic issues. Back pocket idea lol

Even more interesting than that, but Dewey replied to the official AEW on TNT Twitter account. No matter how you feel about the fact that Dewey Foley tweeted out in response to an AEW tweet, his point was a very good one.

Dewey Foley’s journey on Twitter isn’t limited to this epic tweet. He also had President Barack Obama congratulate him after voting for the first time which should never be forgotten.

Now the new interim AEW World Champion will be decided at Forbidden Door after a battle royal, a singles match on Dynamite, and a singles match at NJPW Dominion. Tony Khan certainly went his own direction with things, and Mick Foley’s baby boy was just throwing out some ideas for TK in case he needed the suggestions.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
