So no angle or nothing, the only women’s presence on the show was a Mercedes spotlight match. It’s not good enough, 6 years and AEW still struggles to make their incredibly talented women’s division feel vibrant and dynamic

Mercedes and Lacey had a good enough match, but it doesn’t matter, there’s so little effort put into booking the entire division, there will probably be only 1 women’s match on WrestleDream, it’s just so fucking aggravating

Genuinely what does it matter at this point?

It’s so clear that the women in AEW are booked week to week with very little forethought into storylines, long term direction, ya know, the important stuff

I would like Mercedes Moné, one of my favorite wrestlers, to be in cool angles and storylines that feel important. There’s no difference between 400 and 500 days, 15 and 25 title defenses, it is not satisfying to count stats for a fake sport

For someone named Mr Sasha Banks I’d think you’d want her to be doing cool shit too. Demand better for your faves!

Idk how much of this Bandido performance is selling versus having his shoulder actually fucked, but either way, what a beast

Ah, so they were saving some stuff for the PPV, fair

Willow is gonna be in blood and guts so I’m not sure they’ll turn around and do the Mercedes match 10 days later at Full Gear. But they gotta come back into each others’ orbits soon, they both need it

Oh this new look for PAC is upsetting

He looks like an old timey strong man in a traveling circus

OC and PAC have great chemistry. Match has been pretty good

Lmao Darby had a Molotov, incredible

Yep, this, just like WWE forever, the buck stops with one specific person for better and for worse

Dynamite was good, lot of table setting for WrestleDream. Six man tag was awesome, the women deserve way more time with the 30 minute overrun or without

Finally a pro wrestling security guard does their job well

Mox and Darby are gonna do something next weekend that will unleash unholy levels of pearl clutching think pieces

New time machine order of operations: 1) Kill Hitler 2) invest in Google and Apple stocks 3) befriend a young Tony Khan and get him into 90s AJW

Flaming body bag or Darby self immolates and does a coffin drop while on fire

I am not joking at all when I say that AEW needs to start booking their women to commit felonies like they do with the men
