Hangman turning would be risky, but it could refresh him

AEW needs character movement after big losses

Heel turns only work if they change the story meaningfully

Double Or Nothing feels like the right place for a shake up

Actually, the best move is no big top-heavy face turn at all. Just have some chaos. Let the top guys stay where they are and let the chaos come from the mid-card. That's how you build future legends without burning through your current highlights. Don't fix what isn't broken, and keep the big four in the faces.

Looking at it from a business perspective, paying out $5 million for a heel turn is only smart if it drives new exclusive contracts. AEW needs new stars, not just old faces doing new looks. I'd rather see a mid-carder like Swerve Strickland or D'Angelo Turner get the prime time push over risking the top guys' charisma.

I say give me the Cody turn already. The tension with Darby Allin has been built up for six months. Double Or Nothing is the only logical spot. If Cody goes full Joe Rogan mode, points a finger, or just leaves the ring without a bow, it writes itself. It would be the biggest plot twist since the Ring of Honor merger
