Shida title reign while long, has been a B There has been times they forgot about her and just became a bit of an afterthought. Some of it pandemic related for sure but she always felt behind Britt on the totem pole Shida brought it in all her matches tho for sure. They just missed an opportunity to really make her a true star It's funny. Britt gets a lot of promo time and all, but Shida has handily destroyed her in their past matches, like when she bloodied her in the first place. Britt also lost to Nyla and Rosa in decisive fashion. I forget, but I think Riho's beaten her, too, and maybe Yuka as well. Like, she's obviously presented strongly and credibly, but it's kind of interesting that the potential champion is going to be someone who has lost to all of the other stars already. That's going to be an interesting dynamic if she does get the belt. Guessing maybe Statlander eventually beats her, hopefully Britt gets a solid couple of months or something, since I feel like having her as champion for s long time would be more frustrating than good after such a long reign coming before it. Like, give her enough time to take a bow, but hers is a character that needs something to bitch about, and that's going to be harder if they let her stay on top too long.

Which is why I don't think Britt should or needs a long reign She gets the title now, the title should be off her by end of year. Britt doesn't need to be champ to be credible since as a heel her mic work can make up for the L's she takes. In terms of defenses, maybe a rematch against Shida, get her W back against Swole and a feud with either Riho or Rosa before she drops the title again. Probably throw Nyla in there since she always gets a title match In terms of Shida, they need to find a way to invest in her personality. Bring that in ring tenacity to a character because she has everything to be a big star. Could probably take a page from WWE book in terms of how they let Io and Asuka just dive deep into their characters that put them on a diff level

Just, kind of play up how she's this multi-talented warrior poet type, show how she handles the loss and refocuses. I feel like that could help round her out a bit. She seems to have a really interesting life and set of skills, but it doesn't always translate in-ring as much.

Britt's losses to Shida, Statlander, Riho, and Yuka are all from over a year ago, and Britt's been pushed harder since then. Britt Baker in 2021 is a very different beast than Britt in late 2019/early 2020. Nyla Rose is probably not going to be quick to challenge Britt because of their recent match and the heel vs. heel dynamic, so the rest of those past losses are good grounds for rematches with dramatically changed contexts.

She seems to have a really interesting life and set of skills, but it doesn't always translate in-ring as much. I think they have to find something that is comfortable for her and just let it run for a little while and see where it goes Being a disciplined warrior can be a character if you push it far enough. Xia Li has benefited from that with the new focus after they did all the vignettes. It is a catch 22 tho cause no one else is really like her on the roster so you can't give her a mentor and she doesn't need a manager either. She needs a personal feud to bring that extra out of her. Maybe revisit Abbadon which worked in cracking Shida a little but my hope is she doesn't just go from match to match. All Britt feuds had stories behind them when she wasn't champ and Shida needs some of that same treatment

Oh, I am not saying it's enough to hurt her credibility or anything, it's just the kind of stuff they can point to in order to hype some of these potential matches. Guessing if Nyla does get a shot, she probably gets screwed a bit, like either Britt cheating or it being a multi-woman match where Nyla is removed from the equation and Britt beats the other opponent(s). They're both heels, but Nyla just kinda ends up the de facto face of the match like in their tournament match because Britt's such a weasel that people want Nyla to maim her.

AEW needs to have more subtitled promos and trust that the fanbase will pay attention and read em. They did with Nagata. And with their Joshi roster they really need to do that.

Ryo showed up in SEAdLINNNG last night to challenge Veny/Asuka (new double champ btw nice) so I guess she may be in Japan a bit. Interesting enough she brought the AEW tourney trophy with her lol

She's been working out extra hard. o/ Having Kamille, Jade, Statlander, Kilynn King and Nyla Rose in the ring at the same time would be a cool sight of a collection bigger/athletic women.

If Britt does win the Women's title, she needs to keep it as long as is physically possible for a person to hold a title. She also needs several high profile feuds with the likes of Vertvixen, KiLynn King, Miranda Alize, and Megan Bayne, which all culminates in a major title feud against Rebel in a moment sure to rival the Mega Powers exploding.

After tonight, I hope Shida cuts more promos. She sounded fine.
And yeah, whoever was pulling that racist crap on her on the Spanish commentary needs to lose their job.
