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 Poor Shida's becoming the Gigi Dolin of the trio. Saraya: "Toni's awesome. We listen to music together and hang out." Renee: "What about Shida?" Saraya: "I guess she's cool, but let me tell you about what Toni did the other day."

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. redd.it/104vfufHa ha somebody posted it. I love sc.

I enjoy the story progression but what a comically bad choice when Sasha is a free agent now

So there didn't seem to be any further developments here on Rampage or Battle Of The Belts, so I guess that means it's up to this Dynamite itself to get us our final outcome as it relates to Mone, either the replacement partner gambit, a separate debut otherwise or nothing at all.

Imagine if pro sports operated like wrestling. Jerry Jones: "that's right we're going to have a mystery Quarterback week 1 2024 you'll have to tune in to see who it is!" Jerry Jones(the next week): "it's still going to be Dak Prescott" Wek 1 2024: Dak throws a couple of picks. Lights go out and pyro goes off Announcers: "could it be? Yes! Yes, it's Tom Brady!" Super Bowl where after the game another team cashes in Money in the Bank.

I don't care what Meltzer says, it surely has to be her, even if it's not a super long term deal. And his reasoning for it not being her doesn't make any sense. "She isn't in LA." At the time he said this the show was a week away. How long does he think it takes to travel from Japan to LA? And "someone in the match told me it's not her." Haven't AEW wrestlers specifically been warned not to spoil stuff to dirtsheets. I'm not sure why he'd expect to be told.

Like he's going to ask Britt, Jamie or Saraya and they're going to spoil it and say "yes Dave it's actually Mercedes, we've been keeping the secret this whole time"

Shida was backstage on Rampage(wearing her red suit so perhaps she filmed something like....beating up Toni?)
Now the reason I dont see Mercedes wrestling next week is because TK will probably respect New Japan wishes of letting them have Mercedes first non WWE match as they have been promoted it, my prediction is that Shida beats up Toni backstage, Saraya has no one else to help her so the match becomes a handicap match that Jamie and Britt win(Britt kinda needs to have the upperhand on Saraya after how one sided the feud has been so far), post match they can have Mercedes show up to clean house.

I could see a scenario where Mercedes isn’t wrestling on Wednesday but comes out to make the save for Saraya/Toni. Is that still disappointing? Personally, I’d be fine with it, especially if it’s a situation where New Japan wants her first match and they have to wait or something.

She’ll come out after the match is already over like a bunch of the other AEW debuts. Dave is just trying to get the speculation going because she indeed isn’t the mystery partner. But she’s still gonna debut for sure in my mind.

But she’s still gonna debut for sure in my mind. Oh yeah, I should have worded that first part better. I don't know if she'll necessarily be in that tag match, leaning against it right now, but she's absolutely showing up in some capacity before the show ends next week. Dave didn't specifically seem to be just saying she won't be the mystery partner though. He seemed pretty adamant that she wouldn't be there at all.

I will laugh if talks between Mercedes and AEW stalled/collapsed but Vince going back to WWE is what convinces her to sign.
Ignoring that though, I'd bring her in even if it was only a short-term deal. Get a handful of big matches out of her and let her do what she wants outside of AEW. As long as she's not asking for ridiculous money, her talent, star power, and the number of shirts she'd sell would make it worthwhile even just for a few months or a couple of matches, IMO.

I'm sure Moné will be there but post-match.
Feels like they had her penciled in as the mystery partner but then changed - either because NJPW wants her first match stateside to be Battle in the Valley (unconfirmed) or realized an angle is enough and can hype a first AEW match on PPV. She came off heelish in her NJPW debut so maybe she doesn't want to contradict that alignment and they have to work the angle to help - maybe that's where Shida brings her in after the disrespect.
