That joint WM entrance for Bianca, Jade and Naomi was fire. They could make a dominant heel stable with Bianca at the top of it.
I'd think I was very happy that I didn't pay to watch him lose.

Hell, they could have team up with Montez to create a heel power couple to take both titles from the Judgement day. (Admittedly that's assuming either one of them could be effective heels. Montez seriously needs to get away from Lashley, he gains nothing from being in that group.)

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Jinder Mahal, Veer, Xia Quinn got let go from WWE yesterday.
They were literally gone for months so no real effect on anything but still, sucks.

And now Sanga as well. The most obvious move for Veer is to go to AEW to team up with Swerve. (Yeah I know terrible joke.) BTW this makes me wonder which is the better way to get released, the AEW way or the WWE way. As far as I know with the WWE you get put under a 90 day no compete clause where you can't work anywhere else but you do get your base salary. (Plus any merch but these folks probably made nothing there.) Under AEW you can go work immediately but I'm guessing you don't get your base salary for any length of time. (Which I'd also guess would be better than the base in WWE.)

I'm hoping this ties into MJF's prior rejection from WWE and devil claim.

As much as I despise AEW's weekly TV at the moment I simply can't deny their PPV's are just flat out a step above WWE in terms of in ring action. Just caught up with Dynasty. Holy shit Danielson vs Ospreay was mind-blowing.

Yeah the wrestling is on another level than wwe's.
WWE wins on drama though.

Was zzzzz worthy.
I'm think they had to scramble and make her a transitional champion and she won't keep it long.

I think they were scrambling too. But they should have come up with something better than a battle royal. Battle royal matches mean so little that the big one takes place on Smackdown before WrestleMania now. Rare miss for HHH.

Like they said above, I think this is setting up for Liv to maybe win in France at Backlash. Liv winning a battle royal doesn't really do much for her, it gives Becky another title reign and likely a thanks for her work over the last year helping down in NXT and generally putting people over. I'd assume she was set for time off with Seth having surgery so this will be short and she will put over Liv in a singles match to help to elevate Liv. Liv isn't really championship material at this point and maybe they think Becky can elevate that status (It won't, Liv is awful) but their options were already kind of limited with current roster setup before the draft.

I get what you’re saying but his idea makes sense to me too. If Liv, after hurting Rhea backstage, won the belt in the most pathetic way possible (the BR they just had) it would set her up to be a cocky heel that everyone can’t wait to see lose. At least there’d be something to her character at that point.

I think she will. It's going to get her more TV time.

This story makes AEW interesting, can't wait for next week when Kenny returns.
I'm ready.

Mostly quoting for the pic, but I can't think of a sadder stable. You have 4 guys that literally can't cut a good promo, (Maybe Okada can in Japanese) and you saddled him with a junky midcard belt so one would assume a heel Hangman? comes back to be their main event player
I can't think of a sadder looking/sounding stable then this one right here above.

There's not much point in keeping kayfabe if the rest of the promotion doesnt.fuck the haters.
LOVED the ending of AEW,also tony keeping kayfabe alive in the NLF draft is just great
kenny will get attacked next week for sure , he´s not cleared yet so the new elite will gain more heat by taking out omega in his hometown
They(the company) should pick a lane and stick with it. They really just need to slow down, have a couple of STRONG story lines and train new talent properly.

I like the way WWE is using Bron Brakker.
Sucks for the talent they select to job to him, though.

Yup, I enjoyed early days AEW but the shit they have put out over the last 2 years has been awful. To reliant on the next big signing, which doesn't move the needle and then they get thrown down or off the card til maybe they get retread like Swerve did. People talk like AEW has been killing it since day 1 with Swerve as if he didn't spend two years barely making Rampage in a tag team with Keith Lee, and only started getting over when his HEEL manager started dancing. They desperately need to utilize the people in their company to help these young dudes learn to cut a promo and tell a story. We are almost to the point where there isn't really any free agents to snag anymore and WWE is just pumping stars out of NXT like it's nothing and TK thinks running around in a neck brace and pushing this dumb storyline will move the needle or help fix any of their problems.
Bron needs a story ASAP, he's got tons of potential but he needs...well Heyman. Him killing jobbers is getting old fast and I think it's WAY to soon to push him into the main event but maybe with a manager/group dynamic he could challenge Sami for the IC belt. Hope they get it right with him

I heard good things about Cody and AJ. Didn't like that one?

It wasn't a flashy show but most of the matches were quite good.
The international audience also ate it up.

I don't really understand it, but to me almost all of AEWs matches look...slow. Like, slow motion. Sometimes out of sync. A lot of wrestling looks like that to me these days.

The Cody and AJ match was good but
Cody kicking out of the burning hammer at 1 was dumb and unnecessary imo.
