I'm not trying to be mean, but Dave makes it very hard to "listen to the whole discussion".
The guy is not the most eloquent speaker.

Dave's right in that you should listen to the whole discussion but he also should choose his words a lot more carefully. He also should tell those who edit the clips that go up on Twitter.

It felt very much like they were foreshadowing Toni being taken out to make way for a Mercedes debut, but I'm open to the possibility that this was a negotiation fiasco and they're having to make do.

I do expect it to be Mercedes, but if we go into Dynamite next week and when the show starts it's still Toni then it's not going to make any sense. Why would Mercedes be at the show, presumably in wrestling gear, if she's not part of the roster or scheduled to wrestle? If there's an open spot on the card you can explain it away, but it makes no sense if every space on the card is taken. It's the kind of plot hole that AEW doesn't usually leave open.
Rampage/Battle of the Belts are live this week though, so if it really is going to be Mercedes, I'd expect Shida to take out Toni there.

That segment confused me because Saraya came off as a massive heel to me by turning her back on Shida & picking Toni to be her partner. But this was to set up a Shida turn?
So is Mercedes going to be the partner or just turn up with Shida and wreck havoc? I’m thinking Mercedes has to be the partner otherwise the fans will turn hard on the match.

OR, Toni actually is the mystery partner and the match goes ahead and Mercedes saves somebody from a double-team attack after the match?
I'm thinking about this far too much

Shida never does anything wrong She adopted a cute black and white kitty during the pandemic and named her Ruta. Therefore, she is infallible. WHERE'S TONI'S CUTE KITTY?!!!

Also, Toni is the best wrestler in the world?
I'm sorry Saraya, but who is holding a title right now? That's right, Shida. And not just one, but TWO.
Who's the longest reigning AEW Women's Champion in history? Again, Shida.
Who is the Shining Samurai of the Seven Heavens? Shida.

It was said she wanted to be paid as much if not more than Charlotte and Becky and idk how much Becky is earning but supposedly Charlotte is or was earning around 2mil a year. So if that is the case but say Mercedes does not want to commit full time to AEW then it explains why this is become such a bogged situation.

Why is FTR Bald listed under S? He should be under F.

Why is FTR Bald listed under S? He should be under F. I mean, he really should be under R for Revival Bald. Also, glad that one person running the website got around to it. They just have had a hell of a workload.

I'm at a point where I fully expect it to be Mercedes, but I'm not convinced it's not going to be a one-off appearance, or that she'll just be doing a handful of pay-per-appearance matches.
If it's not Mercedes, then I'll just say that Britt specifically calling herself the "Boss" of AEW was a dumb troll. And I feel for Toni Storm because she's awesome, but she's going to get booed mercilessly.

If you can't get Mercedes to agree to sign on for at least 6-12 months, it's honestly pointless having her coming in for a match where she will no doubt beat your top 2 homegrown talents.
