If Riho wins the tourney then you can have Shida retain at Revolution, it works because Shida gets her win back(Riho beat her in 2019).

Yeah, with what Kenny put on Twitte, I'm wondering whether the 1 women's match per Dynamite is a TNT thing, if it is then there's not a lot AEW can do. Which sucks.

Its incredible how great Serena vs Riho was considering Serena wrestled with 1 good leg.

If it's a TNT thing, that's an extremely backwards stance to take. Though I wish I could say that's surprising given how idiotic network executives can be about these sorts of things.

TNT shouldn't be telling AEW how to book there shows like that, putting 2 women's matches should be AEWs call. Maybe 1 match is in the contract, which hopefully changes because some of the shows could be better with 2 matches now that they've improved the division by a lot

Yeah, with what Kenny put on Twitte, I'm wondering whether the 1 women's match per Dynamite is a TNT thing, if it is then there's not a lot AEW can do. Which sucks. So I'm on two minds about this; On the one hand, it does feel like a relevant excuse to use and if I were a network, I'd be looking at Becky Lynch and going "Hey, we'd like one of those for our network" so the idea of them not wanting someone marketable like that feels super strange. Along with that, it would be weird after all this time for them to look at the ratings some of them have done (Riho being a big example, Thunder Rosa being another, even Red Velvet's promo a few weeks ago did great numbers) and not allow some expansion on that front. Also, I know people seem to dislike stuff going on YouTube but even the first round of the Women's Tournament was outdrawing some episodes of Dark in terms of viewership so the audience is there, doing more on TV would only potentially grow that. Just like it does on NXT. On the other...it does feel a bit too coincidental that this seems to be the case week after week and then on Dark, they're able to showcase the women more whether in squash matches or actual competitive affairs. And we also have to remember, these big organisations have to be dragged kicking and screaming to progress sometimes. WWE had to be dragged kicking and screaming to sign Sara Del Ray as a trainer and then have her actually help Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley etc adapt to the WWE style and then they had to be dragged to get Ronda Rousey to sign when she was clearly interested years ago etc. And it's not even just wrestling, Hollywood has a hard time casting people not white men to direct stuff and when a minority gets big, they want ALL projects to star that person only rather than looking at the massive talent pool. Regina King might be the first black woman director nominated for an Oscar in its 92 year history which just feels insane considering. It sort of does feel that there's some pressure riding on Jade Cargill and how she adapts to pro wrestling considering the segments she's had and the backing of Shaq and I can absolutely understand the concern with that and the amount of smoke and mirrors that would be in place for it tl;dr - I think you could argue either way. It feels way too appropriate to put some of the blame on but considering how much diversification they've shown on Dynamite at times, it does feel like there is something to it.

I think the women title match at Revolution should be a triple threat match, with Rosa stuck in Texas, it makes things complicated. Rosa vs Riho will need to happen on March 3rd US finals will have to happen at the Revolution buyin
Shida vs US winner vs Japan winner in the Revolution main card could work.

They may have to give Riho a bye into the semi finals if Rosa can't make it

More than likely it's some standards and practices bureaucratic BS. Entertainment industry suits are also very set in their ways about what works and what doesn't and they're almost all white men with the biases afforded to them by their privilege.

I have to say, I’ve really enjoyed the last couple of matches from the tournament. I felt the matches were functionally ok but that’s it and there’s been little reason to care (Though I enjoy Britt and the feud with Swole) but the past couple of weeks have been absolute bangers so hopefully it keeps up

Wait, was that really such a turn-off for fans? I mean, it’s Freddie Mercury, one of the most beloved rock icons. It’s not like Sakura came out in a Gary Glitter outfit or dressed as someone really controversial. What I gather from some people is they didn't like how Emi seemed to not know what she wanted to be as she would do both babyface and heel things during a match. Personally I never cared but I also think what she has going on now is an improvement, love that gear now and she even looks like she got in better ring shape over the last year. As I said AEW's women's division severely lacks a presence of wiley veteran, let alone one that can still go at a top level clip. Emi is that. I have to say I found it suspect at the time that Emi got criticism for doing face and heel things in the same match when like... so many male wrestlers in AEW were doing that every match and not getting shit for it. Also I'm not sure Emily was slimmer, just not wearing long, loose tights. I'm glad more people are giving her her due after that excellent match with Veny.

US finals have been leaked {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Nyla Rose beat Thunder Rosa in the finals of the US side. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Oh for f***s sake, do NOT do Shida/Nyla AGAIN this f***ing soon, the Tournament was supposet to set up NEW challengers for Shida.
Now I'm really hoping whoever is on the Japan side wins. I get Nyla's gotta be protected but that's just deflating on the women's side.
At least they got the Riho/Rosa match in...

Im rooting for Ryo, because if Aja wins then she is doing the job for Nyla in order to make her "The Monster"
