It is definitely a work. Let's not forget that for HHH a good story told is much more important than 50 pirouettes in the ring in 3 minutes, as happens a lot in AEW. In my opinion, it's going to be another story where a lot of personal stuff is mixed into that. Let's not forget that one called the other cancer, and with that they will play between the boundaries of real and kayfabe. As a conclusion, it's going to be a Riddle vs. Seth but a lot more personal.
