Theres one major flaw in this theory. Why would the titans imprison the old gods in their own child, deep within. Removal into the twisting nether would have been a better option.
Just sayin that makes no sense.

Old Gods aren't from the nether
Also, not a theory.
Spoiler:
Aman'thul killed Y'shaarj by literally reaching from space, grabbing it, and yanking it out of the planet. This made a huge gaping hole that leaked baby titan juice. The titans closed it up, and the well of eternity was left over. That coupled with the Sha meant that killing the other 3 old gods would probably kill the titan, so they decided to imprison them instead.
I think it is more likely that Sargeras wants to destroy Azeroth because it contains a well of eternity which is a fixed point in realities. Destroy a fixed point 'of eternity' and reality collapses throughout the infinite realities and ends ordered existence which is specifically what Sargeras wants.
Actually , the reason for not removing them is
[spoilers from chronicle book]
When amanthul removed Yshaarj, he basically tore a wound in azeroth, the titan, which came to be known as the well of eternity. So basically moving old gods by force physically hurts azeroth
Thread headline is another fine example of how the comma can change everything
Well, they can apparently transfer their consciousness to Titanic watchers. Though apparently the last time they tried it the spell failed. It COULD mean rebuild a Titanic watcher, that's the other possibility I considered back when that dialogue came out. The game sometimes mixes the terms "Titan" and "Titanic watcher".
The planet isn't a baby, but there is one in the core absorbing energy and maturing. Chances are it's Elune. She's the final Titan because she's the only known one left.
Actually, the Chronicle describes the Titans as living worlds, with geography and climate and everything in the shape of giant humanoids. So it may not be that a Titan is just growing inside Azeroth and will emerge separately from the world - it may be that when the Titan awakens Azeroth will become that Titan, transforming from a spherical planet into a planet-sized humanoid.
Seems like the spell didn't exactly fail - the keepers got memories and a burst of power, but the Titan spirits had been so weakened that there was nothing else left of them. There might be a chance that some more of the Titans is still lingering, sleeping deep inside the keepers... that's just speculation though. Whatever is left of Aman'Thul specifically seems to have been absorbed by Wrathion - that might have ramifications in the future, maybe even during Legion.
Dat 3 year necro tho
