Technically Statlander and Shida were a team, and a really good one, but yes this is why I said "duh" Also it doesn't matter if all the girls aren't set up as teams, this tournament is set up to get the girls time, develop them in storylines and maybe even develop teams. It's a scouting opportunity to expand their division and an equal opportunity to develop the girls in a way that is needed. in the andromeda galaxy tag team partners are forever

The only thing that ever hurt them was it always feels like Vox breaks out and becomes more than the tag gimmick, because Vox is just damn good. You'd think Willow Nightengale and Solo Darling, the Bird and the Bee, would also be no brainers for this but we'll see. Willow would be an excellent powerhouse to add to things.

If AEW is going all-out and hiring the Sea Stars, the Bird and the Bee, and the Twisted Sisterz, they will be off to a pretty great start. Honestly, it's a little hard to figure out what else they could be doing - they need at least that many more people just to fill out the tournament, and I can't imagine that they want trainee vs. trainee matches. Even hiring a new wrestler to tag with every active roster member would barely be enough, and seems more convoluted than just hiring the three major women's tag teams on the indies and pushing them. Like...why hire seven women to each team with Nyla, Penelope, Abadon, Swole, Diamante, Anna Jay, and Mel when you can hire six women who are already three tag teams and then one woman to team with each singles wrestler who isn't doing anything?

From what i understand is Solo and Willow (more so Solo) can rub people the wrong way

From what i understand is Solo and Willow (more so Solo) can rub people the wrong way Pretty much the only reason I can see Solo and Willow not being brought in, or just Willow getting hired at some point. Could see the team of Davienne & Leyla Hirsch coming in instead, especially since they are the girlfriend and best friend (roommate?) of one of the Sea Stars, respectively. Getting the whole quartet would be an absolute steal, given they are practically made for BTE as well as Leyla and Davienne being good wrestlers who each bring something different to the table. ("Good" is an understatement for Leyla Hirsch.) Hyan & Rok-C would be another solid alternative.

I really, really wish Delilah Doom and Leva Bates would team up for this tournament. Delilah’s got the kind of energy that would really translate well for an audience and I‘d love for Leva to be more than just a valet.

All I’m saying is that if this tournament is one match per week. That’s going to be interminable.

Rules
* 16 teams decided by random draw
* Each person picks a color and whoever has the same color of them, that's their partner.
* Partners are final and cannot be switched
I wonder since it starts Monday at 7 on Youtube if Vince will announce that Raw is moving to 4 hours.

With just a few days to go before the thing, I'm disappointed that my only real interest is...well, the unknowns. 16 slots is a lot to fill with a roster that has about 8 or 9 wrestlers who are actually active at the moment. There aren't enough wrestlers actually on the roster for me to speculate about random pairings that I would want to see, there seems like too high a chance that it'll be barely anyone new and filled out with the job squad (given they've shown us one new talent and...like...you'd think that they would want to hype up any other participants that we have not seen yet), and just...it's so weird to have this much unknown going in, and puts me in a mind to expect disappointment instead of expecting something interesting and fresh.
It could be good, but I hate that I can't imagine it being good without filling in so many gaps.

I imagine over the next few days we will get team updates and all that stuff
A Monday at 7 airtime is pretty bold but it gives them their own standalone day. I assume we'll get two matches or we might see the whole first round go an hour.

Didn't I see Willow Nightingale in the crowd for one of the tapings? I'm not that familiar with her so I could have been wrong.

I believe that was actually Faye Jackson, who would also be great in this.

Meltzer said the whole tourney will be on youtube, so its pretty much getting that Women of Honor treatment for the looks of it.

Soo who the hell is in this thing? I dunno, AEW's on an announcement streak today. They announced Kingston signed, they announced the DARK card... they should fit a women's team in there...

So Chris Jericho stated on his Saturday Night Stream that Taynara Conti will be part of the tournament (and may be signed full time?)
