One of the most captivating narratives in professional wrestling continued to captivate viewers during the August 9th episode of AEW Dynamite. The evening commenced with another engaging segment featuring the charismatic duo of Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Adam Cole, commonly known as the “brochachos.” While MJF was less than enthusiastic about his tag partner’s proposal to visit a trampoline park, he discovered his own source of entertainment by dominating in a game of dodgeball against children. Cole, however, did not share the same level of enthusiasm, except when they encountered a young lady whom he believed deserved a ball to the head.
Later in the show, Friedman and Cole took to the ring. With his ongoing transformation into a fan favorite, Max continued to navigate this new role, commending the Ohio crowd while sometimes misinterpreting his friend’s intentions. This led to an intense promotional exchange, setting the stage for their upcoming World title match at the illustrious All In event on August 27th at Wembley Stadium. Notably, this confrontation provided us with an amusing line about Cole’s physical appearance, suggesting that he is so thin and pale that Hulk Hogan would have attempted to snort him if it were the 1980s.
However, Cole had a different agenda in mind. Following their unsuccessful attempt to capture the AEW World Tag title from FTR, he proposed that their tag team, Better Than You BAY BAY (BTYBB), should set their sights on the Ring of Honor (ROH) belts. Moreover, he suggested that they make their challenge on the Zero Hour pre-show preceding All In. This proposal went against Max’s usual preference of wrestling sparingly, making it a rare occasion for him to consider such a demanding schedule. Despite his reservations, the enthusiastic response from the Columbus crowd convinced him to take the risk.
Nevertheless, this endeavor is not without its obstacles. Securing the approval of the current ROH Tag titleholders, Aussie Open, is paramount. Additionally, Tony Khan, the decision-maker behind AEW, must grant his approval. Furthermore, the success of this venture hinges on Cole and Friedman maintaining their partnership without imploding under the pressure. As evidenced by MJF’s scathing remarks towards Roderick Strong, who expressed concern over Adam’s friendship with Max, their relationship nearly fractured once again.
To complicate matters further, Strong found solace in the arms of The Kingdom, a faction that may become entangled in an ROH Tag title program. The question arises: How much will Cole’s internal struggle between his old and new friends influence the outcome of the AEW World title match?
