If that means we wont see crappy comedy relief again at Fight for the Fallen then excellent news.
I wasn't expecting we'd get it at A. a charity show they are probably not going to bring in the same amount of folks for, and B. something probably fairly solemn. Like, Luchasaurus will likely be there if Jungle Boy has a match with Jericho, or someone else, but I imagine he'd be on the sillier side of things, and he's not that bombastic in the grand scheme of things. Well of course not. He's got a masters degree, after all.

Kinda unrelate dbut from the interview he says there will be no intergender action.
I guess that is when that corporate side has to press down.But it is a shame,there could be some really amazing matches.

They've been making a point of giving the women some solid time on these shows, so there's less incentive for it for me. I also feel like Tessa Blanchard's kinda getting all the meat off of it on a mainstream(well, ish, it is Impact after all) level.

I figure AEW will still end up pulling an intergender match off at some point, even if they end up being sneaky about it (like say, Nia Jax in this year's Men's Rumble match).

I don't even want a one on oen match. But I really dislike WWE's intergender match where they tag out whenever the other tags. Plus these girls are bad-asses they can take a clothesline

Also mentioned there's no plans for 6 man titles.
Which is understandable given they only have one TV show

Like, I do like 6 man tag matches, but there's rarely enough to sustain that kind of thing for a division. You'll have one set of Freebirds, another regular team, and three randos for the rest of it, historically speaking.

That makes more sense, yeah, possibly with some kind of setup like tourny of trios for some kind of non-title prize, like a trophy or cash, or you do the tourny, the winning team has a triple threat match, and the winner of that gets a title shot or something. So, you have regular teams, plus guys who are just in it to get that title shot, and are distrusting one another at every turn.

In terms of trios, all they have are The Elite, SCU, and Strong Hearts. Any other team would either be an established tag team with a random single or 3 random singles. Maybe Dark Order could promote one of their minions, but that's a bit much.

I think the most necessary belts to make in the short-term are standard tag-titles and a women's championship.

Gives them stuff to do with the upcoming TV, and then they can think about adding tertiary titles when the roster is more established. Six man titles are something that I don't think should be done at all. Trios are that much susceptible to being derailed in the case of injury, or any sort of real life happening at all. Look at how ROH struggles with having their trios titles having any sort of prestige in comparison to their tag titles, even back when they had BC/Elite and SCU in their ranks. If anything, just have your tag titles defended in the occasional trios match if you have enough teams for regular trios matches.

Trios would be neat for a tournament, but yeah, a dedicated championship is a bad idea, especially since I doubt AEW's roster will be big enough to support a consistent scene for it.

I know its a charity show but its close and so far there isn't much to be hyped for
I think the only "big" match is Rhodes Brothers vs Young Bucks

Omega vs. CIMA is a First Time Ever match. But aside from that they haven't done a good job with a small turnaround, but that might be because they haven't released any real hype for it. (The Fight for the Fallen Road To Episode from last week only really had two angles for the show on it: Brandi/Allie in training and Jake Roberts and Tony Schiavone talking up Cody and Dustin's teaming)
