You know, that plus the fact the women's match before was treated with silence makes this look very WWE in terms of showing who they really care about. Its not Britts fault there is backwards booking with Leyla and Velvet, Leyla shouldve been face and Velvet heel let alone having Leyla cheat and we are supposed to find her threatening vs Kris.
to be fair Leyla had the win before and she let it go. But yeh I think Leyla works better as a face.

From Day 1 she was the golden girl.Other than Jade, the rest of the girls can f off for all they care The biggest what if is if Kylie was always healthy, she mightve gotten the same treatment as Jade and Britt.
In hindsight for Kylie it's probably better that they didn't go off to the races with her if she would have ended up totally off the rails or something. She seems happy with her local stuff and NWA now which is nice.

Kept waiting for Thunder Rosa to interfere but it never happened. Maybe she's a Steelers fan too.

I honestly think the comments about the womens division as a whole are incredibly overblown here and are just constantly focusing on the hard negatives. Nothing was really wrong with Leyla/Velvet, crowd was just in a lull period, and "AEW doesn't care about anyone but Britt or Jade" is just ridiculously projecting at this point. But it will keep happening until the title is off Britt I guess.
The segment was weird for the fact no one interrupted it. Not sure if someone got scrapped from the show or they did this to set something up later, but in isolation I agree that it wasn't really anything Baker needed to do, let alone do it without confrontation.
I do think Rosa vs Martinez needs to get moving or Soho needs to beat Nyla next week to get a ball moving.

So last night was just a ten minute victory lap for Britt. 10 minutes of her saying how great she is and how the division is nothing without her with a bit of 'your local sports team sucks' sprinkled in for good measure. And...nothing happened. No interruption, no new challenger, no furthering of dissention with Jamie Hayter. Just a segment for Britt to gloat. Talk about the perfect encapsulation of her reign. Yeah this is pretty much a good summary of my thought on it last night Like I’m a Baker fan but those whole baddest b***h on the block thing is becoming a big issue I kept on waiting for someone to come and do something but….nope

I've also noticed that Hayter and Rebel have been missing from TV since Battle of the Belts, because they weren't with Baker on the night she attacked Statlander during a recent Elite/Best Friends Dynamite brawl.

Where is Mercedes anyway? Hasn't done anything since she cost Rosa

If the issue is that they can't start Rosa/Britt before Rosa has her matches with Mercedes, then why hasn't that match happened yet? The Rosa/Mercedes match was set up 4 weeks ago.
This is why, for whatever reason they have for it, AEW limiting themselves to one woman's match per show is asinine.

Yeah, this title reign has dragged on far too long now. That promo last night was nauseating. Was expecting Thunder Rosa to come out and powerbomb her ass through that table, but no payoff to the segment just like to many other things.
AEW are great at building up heels. The best 3 built up Women are Britt Baker, Jade Cargill and Serena Deeb. The common thing they have is that they're all heels. In comparison They suck at building up babyfaces. Kris Statlander, Tay Conti and Anna Jay are 3 babyfaces that should be on the level as the 3 heels I've just mentioned, but they've mostly shit the bed on all 3, with 2 of them getting constant stop-start pushes and the other getting zero momentum at all behind her. They need to do better with the babyfaces, right now it's the Britt show with Jade and Deeb. How are we supposed to get behind the division with no babyfaces to cheer for because none of them are being pushed??

I do think Rosa vs Martinez needs to get moving or Soho needs to beat Nyla next week to get a ball moving. They still need work on pacing. They had Ruby and Rosa on Elevation. Again. I get that it’s not being booked as the “b-show,” per say, but it feels like some of these stories get started and then drop off the face of the planet for weeks at a time and then it’s explained away as a slow build. They just need more time for the women *wrestling* on the main show. They’re getting better at building the division through segments but that Britt promo could have been a tag with Ruby and Thunder with Britt on commentary and have her stare down her contenders at the end. And Layla/Velvet wasn’t Jackie Gayda bad but it wasn’t great, it wasn’t all on the crowd IMO.

I've been pounding the drum that promos are interrupted too often and I'm right there with you. Re: Mercedes...is she injured or waiting out a contract or something? Why not at least have her squash KiLynn King somewhere, to establish her to the unfamiliar (of which there are many)? Why is she not wrestling *anybody* much less Rosa?

Riho is injured Tay dealing with visa issues Whatever is going on with Jamie and Mercedes(hope they didnt get the covid).
In some aspects the women division has been hit with bad luck.

Hmm, if only there was a super over other woman who fans have been waiting a long time to see face off with Britt again and win the title. And a PPV coming up in a month.
A match people would be super hyped for.
Oh there is isn’t there.

Tay has visa issues???
That's the first I've heard about that. I haven't seen it reported either, I feel that's the sort of thing that would be big news and unavoidable

I almost wonder if they're biding time because it's a forgone conclusion several women are coming in shortly.

That segment should've ended with Britt going through a table for the second week in a row and developing a fear of tables.
Why has no wrestling company reached out to me to write for them yet?
