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. Poor Toni seems destined to be booed whatever happens. The crowd will probably side with Shida if she takes her out pre-match. I also think Mercedes would be a heel within weeks, Saraya seemed to be heading the same way in that segment. I guess throwing out traditional face/heel and going team homegrown Vs ex-wwe might work. Anything else is going to wind up with mixed reactions.

Yeah, if it is Toni, then she might get booed because it’s not Mercedes. And if they do the swerve, first of all it means that Toni gets beat up AGAIN just to bring in someone else. And also I’m not sure that Shida won’t get cheered over her. Toni’s run in AEW so far has felt like a case of “something else always happens to overshadow her, but it’s not her fault.”

The surprise appearance is way overdone at this point. This whole thing just feels like a hat on a hat scenario. Why does this angle have to be so busy?

It is convoluted, but they do have the live Rampage tomorrow to better telegraph things if they do have her signed.

Teasing more that Shida will either take out Toni or both Toni and Saraya.

I genuinely mean this. That would be my favorite moment in modern wrestling history.

Probably because people keep missing that entire thing for some reason.

I hope it’s Sasha and also not because…
I hope it’s her because the woman’s division will thrive with her on the roster and will add a great talent on their division
I also hope it’s not because the meltdown all over the internet and social media will be the stuff of legends.
Next week will be interesting indeed “rubs hands together”

It's a shame because I actually like the idea of the story they're telling here with Shida, Storm, and Saraya. The women's division really needs more stories that aren't just based on going for a title and Shida becoming a killer because of the disrespect shown by Saraya and having a point to prove to Storm could be a lot of fun. We should get some good matches out of it, at least. I hope the story doesn't get stalled by whatever happens with Mercedes.

I think there's a good concept here, and it gives Shida the kind of motivation she has desperately needed (to the point where she could feasibly go after everyone involved in the match with this setup).

Everyone’s talking about Dave being purdy sure it’s not Mercedes’. But no one’s talking about him strictly saying her last name needs to be pronounced “MUH-naay”.
Srsly go out of your way to hear that, it’s hilarious.

It cracked me up the way Saraya said “Its Toni” then immediately turned to her and started ignoring Shida. Like full blown having a convo with Toni, back turned to Shida. I just starting thinking “We’ll Shida is turning heel”. I hope she does and kicks Sarayas ass for the disrespect
Really not sure what’s gonna happen next week especially because of that boss reference by Britt

A fun alternative idea would be Shida bringing in Mercedes as a third team to the match representing Japan.

I’m just going to say…if it isn’t Sasha…advertising a mystery partner at the exact time her contract was up and she was returning to the business was a mistake. A hilarious mistake…but a mistake.
