Brandi is like cursed, the Nightmare Sisters is her 2nd storyline in 2020 that straight up flopped, though if she can be a manager for Velvet and Kilynn then maybe it could work. Did they even get a reason why the nightmare sisters ended? Just feels like it was forgetten about like two weeks ago, it could have been a decent Dark feud of BatB taking on Dustin/QT with Allie finally turning on them. It ended? Oh. Well. They made that clear.

Deonna Puzzarro has signed a long term deal with Impact. So she's not coming in.

IMPACT really does great with their women's division.

Yeah Deonna made the right choice here. She is clearly doing this for her love of wrestling and not money. Impact is the place for her

They made that clear. Yeah she's back with Butcher and the Blade. I thought it was be some bigger thing since Kingston said 'Wheres your wife" and "lets get your house in order" I know Blade and Allie were off the show for a week or two because of covid but it just seems it was forgotten about. Same with Brandi's random half heel turn with the action figures. Having BatB in a short feud with Dustin/QT would give the lower card teams some extra stuff to do. But i guess just standing behind Kingston is fine?

But i guess just standing behind Kingston is fine? Kinda feels odd to assume this won't continue in some fashion and everyone is just writing it off as over. This clearly leads to Butcher and Blade vs Natural Nightmares. And could lead to a Brandi/Allie match, could even lead to Allie helping out Anna Jay and Tay Conti I feel like people are jumping the gun that the storyline is just gonna be dropped with the reveal being how it was.

I don't see why it'd be out of line to suspect AEW capable of stuff like this when they've definitely evolved, shifted, and dropped storylines before This is something that could really help some of the Young Lionesses and give them some teeth. Like if Brandi recruits herself a squad, Anna Jay may also be forced to get someone else or others other than Conti The Girls to choose from in that pool currently would be: Skyler Moore, Dani Jordan, Kenzie Paige, Shandra Golden and Rache Chanel in terms of frequent DARK girls. But if they give someone like Elayna Black another look? Her aesthetic fits Dark Order perfectly. I personally feel like Jordan, Moore, and Paige could all form a Mean Girls like faction with Britt as the leader too, if we're loving faction wars with the guys let's give the girls some squads, this helps TV time, this helps with characters, and we've seen it work really well for the male roster, so I'd love to see it here. You could have Brandi's Squad, a Dark Order Girls, a Britt Squad, and you already have La Sicaria's. It could really help work the undercards, give them purpose, and then when someone like Britt, Brandi, or Dark Order show up on the main show, the girls get more TV time if they aren't necessarily wrestling on the show The more I think about it the more this could fix a lot actually. Brandi is like cursed, the Nightmare Sisters is her 2nd storyline in 2020 that straight up flopped, though if she can be a manager for Velvet and Kilynn then maybe it could work. The Nightmare Sisters didn't flop. And there is no indication it's over by any stretch so as I said above, it's really weird that people are just like "Well it's over, Dustin and QT are just gonna forget it ever happened" like this is WWE booking or something. AEW forgets nothing and aside from Nightmare Collective has never straight up dropped soething. And can we stop acting like Brandi in ring hasn't improved a lot even since Nightmare Sisters started? Like she can helm a faction and be fine.

Like she can helm a faction and be fine. They did, though. Like, the in-ring work was good. They were a solid team and turned out good matches. But...oy, that rating for the Deadly Draw final. Britt's drawn attention to the drops in viewership attributed to women's matches, and Nightmare Sisters vs. Ivelisse & Diamante was one of the worse drops. Given that Ivelisse vs. Diamante - a match featuring those same two, with no real build and with both of them coming in as brand new wrestlers - didn't do so badly, it's pretty clear who gets the blame if AEW feels like assigning blame. They've certainly reacted to it as though the Nightmare Sisters act was the issue, quickly breaking them up (which was a logical move anyway) and having Brandi conspicuously seek a new tag partner before putting the whole thing to bed properly. (This is, of course, all complicated by Allie having an absence in there.) There's a major fandom hate-on for Brandi. It's not deserved, it's not fair, it's frankly really bad. But it has its effects, and one of its effects is that the women's number three active babyface is dead in the water.

Tay and Anna have videos of them working out together, continuing the recruiting for Dark Order.
As for The Nightmare Sisters, no doubt Brandi will be going after Allie since QT is a good friend of The Rhodes Family. She's picking either Velvet or King as her new partner.

I think Brandi could work if she leads some Young Lionesses, and I think the Anna Jay feud has been some of her best stuff. As I said if you have Allie help Anna Jay out of a mutual enemies thing, it could work, but if they just move on from each other, I don't see the big deal in that either. Butcher and Blade vs Natural Nightmares seems like a natural blowoff though.

I think Brandi suffers from being an average talent in in a high position in the company Her awful debut stable also didnt help.

Good News: They advertised a match NOT featuring Britt Baker next week! And it features women not from the Wheel of Apathy!
Bad News: I got a bad feeling it will be short and put on before the main event, as usual.

I'm sounding like a broken record at this point but where is your champion AEW? She is never promoted, never gets promo time and is brought in for a cold feud here and there. Like what the f***? Like is their any point in me actually complaining about this anymore since they seem to have no intention of fixing this? This shit is super embarrassing quite frankly

Shida vs Nyla is the set feud, it should get some promo time to really build up the stakes of the rematch
Abadon vs Conti is a great match on paper though, it should be fine and help push Conti towards Dark Order further

This shit is super embarrassing quite frankly Like I mentioned in the rate thread, why not give Britt direction NOW instead of later? It seems obvious that this is where we are heading. What is the point in waiting until the last week to make it something? Give people SOME kind of build.

I feel like with Britt fifth and Abadon 3rd, that should be the Full Gear match to decide who faces the winner of Nyla/Shida I hope they build this starting next week because they alluded to Abadon being higher than Britt when her match was advertised

When was the last time Nyla was even on tv? Shida has been more frequent than her and she's never on.

Nyla was shown ringside for Shida/Swole looking upset that Shida won, so she's been around, she also beat up King which set up their DARK match All they need is a segment or promo to spark it off, they still have a few weeks to do it I hope they use it.

I can’t sit through two hours of dark to get a piece of information...
Is Nyla vs. Shida really happening?
Since their pushing Britt so hard I was expecting her to challenge Shida. Those two have amazing chemistry and it was Shida who origally took Britt out. But then Britt just leaves.. I guess thanks for coming?
I guess Abandon is only wrestling because of Halloween right? Maybe they will set something up for the ppv next right?
RIGHT?
