Britt gets gassed incredibly fast these days (IDK of trying to also do her dental practice as well is catching up to her), but her cardio has been noticeably bad recently. Even 13 minutes might be too much for her. I hate to say it, but the Women’s Owen Match took a huge hit in interest imo with Britt in the finals.Baker does have a huge contingency of fans online (And people who don't like her sure, like here on FAN!) and does get the live crowd into stuff a lot of the time, like tonight, where the crowd actively seemed more into her than Toni, on a neutral site, wasn't Pittsburgh out there. I get she's hated here, believe me, but acting like one of the top draws of the women's division "delivered a huge hit" to the division by being on the PPV card as the heel for a face to potentially conquer just doesn't add up to me I guess. That being said, I hope she can deliver in the match as I do agree that finish was clunky, and I don't know particularly why. I think the rollup just wasn't executed properly. She's had good matches with Ruby and Stat... and imo you gotta be a lost cause if you can't get a passable match with Stat if it's her, so I hope for the best

I keep hearing that “oh Britt is over.”
Yeah, it’s almost like when you’re given an easy to chant along with catchphrase, get the lion’s share of the TV time, and are allowed to constantly cut promos basically burying the rest of the division and rarely getting comeuppance, people might cheer you. So that’a all it takes I guess.
Now imagine if TK bothered to put even half as much time into building up some other women, you might actually have a cool division.
If Britt is as big a star as people claim, her losing here would not have hurt her in the slightest. Instead, they just halted Toni’s momentum (is she even going to be on the PPV now) so that Britt can get another big match.
The issue is not Britt being featured, not at all. The issue is the lack of effort put into anyone else by comparison.
It’s basically a vicious circle in a way.

Is there a Casino Battle Royal this year?

Is there a Casino Battle Royal this year? It does not seem so? Unless they announce something super late.

For Cole v. Joe, I wouldn't mind if the likely Undisputed Elite shenanigans and Jay Lethal shenanigans cancel each other out somehow.
Though I'd rather just a clean Joe win.

Do we think there will be a debut, or a new signings announced? Every major show has had someone debut or make a special appearance.

Hopefully that’s all talk, he can’t delay all of the big matches until after 11:30 pm.

Not starting the MJF or Punk match until after 1130 would make me lose my mind. Come on Tony, people aren’t buying the PPV until after the Celtics game is over.

You know, for all the gripes about AEW's booking being super obvious and easy to call, I really can't confidently call any of these results, save for Hookhausen and Jade (and even that one I'm not super confident on).

Even with the holiday on Monday, this is an incredibly stupid idea.

I was curious so I tried calling ‘em. CM Punk Thunder Rosa Wardlow AEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - Swerve Strickland and "Limitless" Keith Lee AEW TBS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - Jade Cargill ANARCHY IN THE ARENA - The Jericho Appreciation Society TRIOS WARFARE - Death Triangle TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH - The Hardys OWEN HART FOUNDATION MEN'S TOURNAMENT FINAL - Adam Cole OWEN HART FOUNDATION WOMEN'S TOURNAMENT FINAL - Kris Statlander/Ruby Soho BUY-IN: HOOKHAUSEN 5 or 6 of the matches are hard to call.

I'm thinking...
Page Rosa Wardlow Starks & Hobbs Jade JAS (though they really should lose after dominating the entire damn feud; imagine it'll lead into doing Blood & Guts) House of Black Young Bucks Cole Britt Hookhausen
Not 100% on a lot of those though.

Predictions...
Hangman (really hard to call, because there are so many ways the story can go, but I can't even begin to figure out what's the best way forward) Thunder Rosa (too soon for her to lose and Serena's not the one she should lose to) Wardlow (I waffled on this pick, because, like Hangman/Punk, there are a few ways they could go. Ultimately, Wardlow just winning his freedom is probably the best way to go, though) Team Taz (I'm not really keen on any of the teams winning, even though the match will slap. This JE reign has just dragged and it's really time to end it and get to the Jungle Boy/Christian feud) Jade (I mean, Anna could... but really, Jade's not losing it yet. But...) JAS (I agree with Lizuka about this leading to Blood and Guts, plus, the Danielson/Kingston tension has been played up enough that it can't not factor into this match) House of Black (maybe Julia FINALLY does something??) Young Bucks (could go either way with this, just seems more likely the Bucks win) Cole (As soon as he qualified, I figured he was winning) Kris Statlander (and here's the "but..." from before. Kris beats Ruby tomorrow, because the story basically dictates she will, then beats Britt and channels that momentum to take the TBS title off of Jade, then she can face Velvet, Britt, Ruby, Shida, etc. with those four ALL being based off the tournament results) Hookhausen (...I mean, really??)

I'm listening to Khan on Unrestricted and I really don't understand Khan's rationale for delaying the world championship match, TBH.
Nobody's going to buy Double or Nothing and turn away to watch Game 7. People delay stuff in Vegas because of betting and stuff like that. Seems misguided.
