{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} No way Ryo's losing if she beats Aja imo. Aja losing is very rare these days, it'd be a huge rub for Ryo if she did it. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Although if Ryo wins the tournament then Shida is retaining at Revolution tbh Well if any of that is true, it is incredibly lame The source is Spaceforce1 from reddit, who has been 100% correct in the spoilers Was he at this set of tapings and if so is there a full spoilers list? Or just this tidbit?

Well that's underwhelming and has killed my interest Same {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}So many interesting choices to make the final. Rosa, Riho, Britt etc. but nope back to the well with Nyla who has barely been used in the last 6 months. Amazingly bad choice.

Amazingly bad choice. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Re-establishing Nyla as a monster makes sense, but it really is dangling the carrot with so many opportunities and then just going back to her. The division desperately needs fresh blood, which is why I hope the Japan side wins. If Ryp beats Aja Kong, I don't see her losing period, that's a huge rub for her.

It’s severely disappointing for her to win the bracket, never mind possibly winning the title.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Nyla winning has to be the least interesting choice. Nothing against her, as I'm sure the match will at least be good, but anyone would have been better.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}This SpaceForce1 guy sure knows how to kill people's interest. Shida vs. Nyla III would be so f***ing lazy on AEW's part.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Nyla winning has to be the least interesting choice. Nothing against her, as I'm sure the match will at least be good, but anyone would have been better. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}It's not only bad for the title scene, it's also bad for Nyla. She could have gone out with one loss or maybe a draw against Conti, but instead she's put into the same position she's perennially been in. She needs something else. Anything else. She's got it all, but she needs to have some freaking angles.
This does leave open the possibility that Anna Jay defeats Britt Baker, which is at least...something?
It's also kind of disappointing that they're likely trying to get the audience behind Ryo not by her own merits - which are plenty - but by threatening the audience with a rematch that nobody wants.
Maybe an odd comparison, but it kind of reminds me of how they went ridiculously far with putting heat on Jake the Snake during the Cody/Archer feud so that Cody's victory would be more palatable - it made Cody's victory more predictable and also hurt Archer for some time. This will probably work better since Nyla's the one who needs a new direction, but AEW is giving the impression that they don't actually have another direction for her - elsewise, I'd expect them to have gone in another direction by now...

Wasn't Rosa still stuck in Texas due to the snowstorm and the US Finals was taking place on the live episode on March 3rd?

She's only even won on Dynamite once, IIRC. But this feels like a wasted opportunity to do something substantial with her.

Posting this without the spoiler brackets since it doesnt spoil match results.
We know the finals are on March 3rd, so Rosa vs Riho will be on Dark, and (sorry if I sound angry but) its so freaking stupid.

It feels like they went "Eh just throw em on Dark and YouTube, not like they actually matter like the real feuds we care about. And of course we gotta give more time to the likes of Luther and gender reveals!"

Yeah, at that point, what excuse is there?
Riho is a top worker, hugely over, a ratings draw, and has been pushed well.
Thunder Rosa is a top worker, a good promo, presented as a star, and a credible opponent to anybody.
This is not a risky match to put on television by any metric whatsoever. The undercard spotlights and enhancement matches that they've done lately are, frankly, much more of a ratings risk than this.
SURPRISE! THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER THE LACK OF JOSHI AND TOP TALENT! IT WAS ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS THE BOOKING!

{Spoiler} I dunno, this is a much better field of players for Nyla than what she had in the pandemic reign: (Face) - Anna Jay - Tay Conti - Riho - Thunder Rosa - Sereana Deeb - SHANNA - Big Swole (thouhgh i swear Cornette killed her confidence cuz i never see her anymore) - Red Velvet
(Heel) - Britt Baker - Ivelisse - Diamante - Penelope Ford - Jade Cargill
So i think this "reset" will be good in fleshing out an ACTUAL division going forward. Though, i personally think NOW'S the time for Britt (though its clear they're saving her first reign for the return o live crowds)
