This really highlights how much the pandemic and Britt Baker and Kris Statlander's injuries hurt the division. And gives me a lot more respect for Shida for carrying the division on her back during those tough months. Shida deserves so much praise for her run. The division has gotten it's well deserved criticism over the past year but I feel like it sometimes overlooked how good Shida has been during that time.

My big criticism is that they could have done more and better with pitting Shida against some of the indy talent who floated in and out during that time. But Shida very much held up her end.

They literally had her face almost every signed wrestler they had and had good to great matches with almost all of them. Other than Swole as that match had to go at 2x speed There's a reason Swole's had like three matches since and has been getting basically re-trained by Malenko.

If you can't have a good match with her, you have some stuff to work on (whether it be Swole's work or Abadon's cardio).

Just throwing it out there, I cant wait for the inevitable Riho vs Jade match if Jade's even a halfway decent worker, cause that match sells itself.

Not saying Ford is bad, but she was made to look like a lot more of a threat than she should be.

Loved that. Rosa beating the former women's champ helps her look like such a threat.

Hopefully Ryo can work a couple of shows while she's in the US, other than just the US vs Japan final.

Very good match. It almost felt like they wrestled with the idea of having a rematch down the line. Lots of stuff left to explore with those two.

Hopefully Ryo can work a couple of shows while she's in the US, other than just the US vs Japan final. I'd be surprised if she isn't moving full-time. The line from Emi Sakura that Ryo would have retired without AEW, plus the bits AwamoriRock has mentioned about Ryo not having any important bookings in Japan, combine into the impression that she's all-in.

I imagine they wouldn't have someone come all the way over for just one match given how time consuming the process of going back and forth is right now.

Good show. Liked seeing Shida wrestle again, and wouldn't mind seeing a rematch between Riho and Rosa in the future.
