Emi is going to be heel with the royal character she used in the tournament, I could see Shida lost turning heel with how her recent matches on Dark have been lately, Swole turning heel could work if there is a double turn with her and Diamante.

I wouldn't mind Emi and Shida forming a sort of evil heel faction. If Emi helps Shida get some direction since her title loss I'd be all for it.

I really like the Ruby pick up because the division needs more faces. And Ruby is better as a babyface. They've got a lot of faces (although Ruby as the #2 or #3 face is a tremendous addition), they just don't have anything to do...partly due to having so few heels, and even fewer heels who aren't protected from losses in mundane matches. I could see Ruby ending up heel for that reason, but I think her best role would be Baker's first feud after (presumably) losing the belt to Thunder Rosa. I really wish they could scoop The IIconics up but unfortunately the visa issues have probably put a pin in that for now.

In terms of those who became available from the WWE women’s division, Ruby Riott is probably the best long-term singles prospect, so that would be a really smart signing for AEW.

I think they managed to do more with limited time this week between the stuff with Velvet/Britt, Leyla/Bunny/that NWA champ and Jade announcing she's returning to action

It's a really good precedent to set for Rampage that the first ever show seems to be headlined by Baker and Velvet for the belt.

Got the vibe this week that they want more women's matches/potential feuds set up with Rampage getting ready to start, hope it continues.
That said, I really do want to see a couple women's stables set up, there just aren't enough of those in pro wrestling given how women's divisions tend to be smaller than the guys one. No need to have Ruby set another one up (unless she wants to) as she can almost certainly get over as a solo act, but a couple alliances among the other women would be cool, as would a couple of the ladies joining one of the pre-existing stables the way Statlander joined up with Best Friends. Echoing what I said in the show thread (and what someone had up on a sign), I still nominate Leyla for Team Taz.
...Oh, and yeah, I definitely want mob queen Shida running a squad of hitwomen with Ryo as her right hand. Bring back the white suit, Shida!

I’m looking forward to Kris vs Nyla next week. THAT is the kind women’s match that needs to be on Dynamite more often. Leyla vs Allie was good because it had an actual purpose. But you need to consistently have the best women fight each other on the main show. Kris vs Nyla is a big time match for the division, especially one where the title isn’t involved.

I still don't understand why more stables don't have a woman in them. Inner Circle and Pinnacle are both perfectly set up to have world title, TNT, and tag title contenders. If you want to rule the company, shouldn't you want ALL the belts? Including the women's?

Velvet looked so sexy tonight.
Kris should beat Nyla & face Britt at all out. Tay wins casino battle royal & gets NYC match. Rosa takes title at full gear

twitter.com/LegitLeyla/status/1423111110786527235That was quite the size difference. Nyla will probably lose again, there is some potential storytelling if AEW want Kris to get his win back from Nyla and later maybe Riho?(Khan said of wanting to do this match after how it was ruined last year). Velvet vs Britt is likely Rampage premiere main event.

It's interesting that Kris is being built for a title shot (I assume she beats Nyla). I get the idea that the Thunder Rosa/Britt feud can be reheated at any time and work but I expected it at All Out itself. I wonder if Rosa is actually taking the belt and they want Britt to have a few more defenses more dropping it.

I wonder if Rosa is actually taking the belt and they want Britt to have a few more defenses more dropping it. My guess is, the original plan was for Rosa to take the belt at Full Gear since that would probably be when they expected to be able to sign her full-time. I expect there's not a lot of reason to deviate from that plan, especially since Kris/Britt is a solid PPV match and they can probably get some further TV title defenses out of some combination of Riho, Hirsch, Conti, King, and Swole. The hole in it is that suddenly it's less reasonable that Rosa isn't doing anything special in the meantime, so they need to hurry up and give her something.

Something I do think they really need to try and work on is that it feels like Britt was the only woman on the show tonight the crowd actually cared about.

I thought Velvet did well in the promo to get some pops. Hirsch is also pretty darn over because of how she kills girls in there. Baker's just an intangible. Like she's more over than most dudes on the roster too.

Rosa can take title off kamillr in meanwhile. Full gear can be world title unification bout

From the webshows, I get the sense that the audiences care about the wrestlers but are bored stiff by what said wrestlers are doing. Seems like every one gets a reaction when she enters (except Diamante), but the crowd just dies when the jobber is announced.

A woman being “more over than most dudes” shouldn’t be an anomaly.
