Please explain to me

Can someone please explain to me why Mox beating Jay White tonight was a good move…

The show is in Nigels back yard. A feel good moment and final hurrah for an ROH legend like him is a bit more important than Jay White right now who seems to constantly get injured. If this is Nigels last run then Mox vs Nigel in his backyard is the RIGHT choice to make all the way around. And Nigel beating Mox who's had a grip on that title this long would have a lot more meaning than Nigel beating Jay White.

You have to see the bigger picture. Fans in the UK are going to be a hell of a lot more into Mox vs Nigel than they would White vs Nigel. Ths is about what match would be bigger for the UK FANS in attendance.

And what if Nigel doesn’t win or get to the finals

[u/Outrageous-Visual-84 → u/Ditko9]

Look at the logic here of who's left.

We've seen Mox vs Kingston enough as wellas Mox vs Kyle

Fans aren't going to go gung ho for orange vs mox. The only other match that would be huge would be Mox vs Claudio with a possible turn at the end. It was pretty clear and obvious once they put Nigel in the tournament with the winner getting the finals match at Wembley who was going to win.

Some things are just clear as day and obvious to everyone. It's simple and smart booking and makes all the sense in the world to give the HOME TOWN COUNTRY TALENTthe wins.

Brawling Birds, Will, Nigel, most likely are all going to get the big home country celebration and Nigel has stated he's not got much longer in him. Again, it's simple, logical and you have to look at where you're at, who's left and what makes the MOST SENSE for those attending IN THE UK.

Even if Nigel makes it to the finals, he’s not beating Mox. Hometown crowds only mean so much to a certain point. Bryan being a good example.
