definitely not a good week, I still have no clue what Red Velvet was trying for (wheelbarrow bulldog spun into a jawbreaker?) or what the hell Mel was doing That's up there with Steiner's infamous Double Underhook WTF was that. Looks like Red's trying for a bulldog or stunner and Mel doesn't have any clue how she's suppose to go with it. I think Red was trying to be too cute. I think she's trying to spin into a flatliner almost. It's a case where you're trying to do something flashy when something simple will get the same result.

Just now catching up on this
Some of this was OOF. I don't care for Brandi as a wrestler, let's stop that. Mel, why? Reba, no more thank you
They are so far behind the eight ball with women talent but they got to start somewhere

Reba, no more thank you They are so far behind the eight ball with women talent but they got to start somewhere I mean Brandi's out you'd assume for a bit with Cody, though she might be back sooner to continue her story with Allie. Mel's probably not gonna get off DARK without improvement, and Rebel I assume won't be seeing much more ring time after that, she's great as a character though. They have started somewhere with the likes of Conti though, I just hope they get others like Savoy and Ellering too.

It would be a good move if she really is now a consultant for the women division

I get that she just broke up with one of the bigger male stars in the company, but how have they not signed Priscilla Kelly? I feel like she would be a great addition.

She has said that she enjoys the creative freedom she has on the indies, and there's a not-substantiated rumor of MLW contract malarkey. Which is one of the frustration points. It's really hard to know who is unavailable and who is just not of interest to Khan and co.

It's really hard to know who is unavailable and who is just not of interest to Khan and co. I've been seeing her and Allin hanging out together lately on Instagram stories, and Priscilla's also recently liked some fans' tweets saying AEW or other companies need to sign her. Pillman Jr. did confirm that he's struggling to get out of his MLW contract, and is still listed on their website's roster. Priscilla and Zeda, who were the only two in the Women's division, were removed a while back, so I'm thinking they're free agents despite the continued rumors with the former.

Darby Allin and Priscilla Kelly's divorce is amicable so that shouldn't be a barrier to them signing her if she's available. Though it's a shame an anything-but-amicable split between Kelly Klein and BJ Whitmer would most certainly be a barrier if she ever had any interest in going to AEW.

It would be a good move if she really is now a consultant for the women division Sounds like they brought her on to help the booking and if that's the case she's already been doing a good job getting the girls time and exposure. Dustin has also been extremely committed to cultivating the younger talent, Abadon has been incredibly outspoken about how much he's helped already.

The tournament was a lot more old-school character based booking (which a lot of these workers would be used to working from Shimmer) instead of the Japanese main event spectacle style of the women's title matches.

Thunder Rosa and Serena Deeb just put on a clinic and it was given a ton of time. They are definitely listening and looking to improve this division, best AEW Women's match maybe since Double or Nothing.
I hope we see more of Rosa after All Out, and I also hope Deeb is signed, great veteran hand and coach for the young girls with 15 years experience who can still go with the best of them.

it was given a ton of time. It pretty much stopped dead at the 10 minute mark, let's not go crazy here. It was a good start but it's not like they were given an extended spotlight.

Deeb seems like she could fill the void Shanna left in the pandemic - rock-solid veteran who isn't getting pushed but can give her opponents a match worth having.
Can't say enough how much I hope that Rosa signs full-time once she's dropped the NWA title, and how much I hope Holidead would come in with her.

The match I feel went the exact amount of time needed, wasn't a squash, and put both ladies over I think they were given enough spotlight and all the time they needed. It was the best women's match in awhile, didn't drag, and made both women look great. That's what they should be doing. I feel like this is the positive direction you want if you're wanting the division to be presented better. They've also been given a lot of time on DARK. If Madusa and Dustin have taken the reigns on booking and presentation, it's showing.

Back to back women's segments was a good thing. I still wanted more to the Contri/Anna story and maybe something with Ivelisse and Diamante to follow up their win. Even if it is just them promising to run through the division or something.

Just finished watching this match and thought it was really good. Serena would really be someone that could help in the back as well as be a dependable in ring worker.
