Eh, it was striking while the iron was hot with #GiveNaoimiAChance. They grabbed someone Naomi-adjacent, and it seemed to draw a little interest - not bad for a non-committal spot, much as I was skeptical of the choice ahead of time. I'm shocked they didn't call her Notomi

Ariane wasn't working and had no gear until she was booked? I just looked this up. She had not wrestled once since 2016. This is AEW's big push for their women's division?

Ariane was training for a year before it and she had contacted Brandi in case any opportunity arrised Also she isnt hired,it was just for her to do the job and see how she does.Well people arent impressed so if they hire her we can judge them. In the other side Tay & Jay have impressed the fans and look like great talent to push. Nobody ever said anything about "this" or Arianne being "the big push" for the division.

The this I meant in this case was the tournament in general, and I am astounded that someone who did not impress much previously and has not been working was even one of the picks for the tournament. Perhaps I am being too harsh, but I am lacking patience for AEW on the women issue.

I dont get the "No Gear" comment, Andrews was booked for Effy's Big Gay Brunch over Mania Weekend, she was set to make her in ring return then. So she had to have had gear made unless she sold it. She was planning a comeback for awhile now, she wasn't just called up with no tact.

I'll trust them again if the improvement is sustained, but for now, this was a Big Win of a show with two new stars put over to shake things up, an exciting PPV match set up, and a cool feud seeded.

Furthering some angles, a cool crossover match, definitely some fun places they can go.
I wonder if Brandi or Allie vs Anna might make it on the card. Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if not, a PPV match is obviously a lot to put on her shoulders this early, but I think she could do it, especially since I don't anticipate it'd be a long match given the angle.

Even so, good match to have on Dynamite. Maybe even do something with Allie developing genuine affection for Brandi and gunning for Jay after Jay destroys Brandi.

Plus they announced another women's match in advance, and a good one for next week
Have a feeling Swole might not be coming alone next week even if it's a Handicap match. We really need to see more of Savoy.
Diamante and Ivelisse are a greta start to build the division again, I hope Conti and Ellering are also used more, I'm just liking what I'm seeing so far, and Thunder Rosa/Possible NWA partnership? Yes please!

Swole & Baker have their feud, Nia is poised for things too, and they've signed some nice talent like Rachel Ellering. Hope we can get Shanna back soon and maybe another signing or two and it's looking real good. Things are beginning to click.

It's only one show, but they set-up a lot of interesting things going forward. Hopefully they can keep it going.

Is it too early too call Anna Jay rookie of the year? Probably, but I’d also need to see who else is even on the ballot this year. Don’t follow WWE or the indies, and all the active New Japan lions have been wrestling for a while now.

Is it too early too call Anna Jay rookie of the year? It all depends on how you define rookie but she definitely is one of the best workers I've seen in recent years in literally her first 15 matches of experience.

I assumed she was signed, having appeared in the Tag Tournament. My bad.
