In and out. The World Title is often the most important part of any wrestling promotion as it signifies the top star in the company. It can be a huge moment when the title is on the line, as everything is in jeopardy in a title match. Now one of the more prominent titles, which was previously set to be on the line, is not going to be, with something of a replacement being announced.

Back in July, Darby Allin won the Royal Rampage Battle Royal, earning a World Title shot this year at Grand Slam on September 25. However, this week on Dynamite, Jon Moxley said that Danielson was indisposed for the match, with Moxley challenging Allin to a match for the future title shot instead. Allin accepted and the match was made. Later in the show, Nigel McGuinness requested a match with Danielson at Grand Slam, with Tony Khan making the match, if Danielson is cleared to wrestle.

It was a busy night. Check ut how things went down:

Opinion: This is going to need something of a better explanation, as there is little reason for Khan to allow the title match to be changed and then put Danielson in another match less than an hour later. That comes off like something of a bait and switch and the logic is not exactly there to back it up. Hopefully there is a better idea there, but at least what we are getting at Grand Slam should be rather good.
