She didn’t go into business for herself because IT WAS SETTING UP SOMETHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WAS A PRE-RECORDED SEGMENT! I’m honestly looking forward until she comes out/enters the match/waves in the crowd so we can move onto the next really obvious set up that people will debate would ruin AEW if it doesn’t happen until it happens.

This reminds me of TNA Teasing the return of the Main Event Mafia only for Booker and Nash to show up in the Rumble.
Not saying Sasha is going elsewhere, more of a "don't count your chickens" lesson

Saraya’s ultimate surprise, brother, was one Renegade of a letdown.

Tony deserves all the abuse he will get for allowing Britt to do the Sasha tease last week, why the heck would you even do that if you didn't have Sasha signed. And for the no payoff to Britt giving Saraya 2 tickets. Earlier today, Saraya was even playing that up like it would be a big thing.

Never do the big tease until all the paperwork is finished

And for the no payoff to Britt giving Saraya 2 tickets. Or it comes later. I mean right now it looks like they are setting up a 6man for next ppv, which comes after her NJPW debut and they probably have first dibs so to speak. They went too hard on the teasing though, especially with people knowing she was free for this show. I think this was meant to be the first chapter and not the last basically.

I was less confident than most that she would show up. They likely got caught off guard by the Mercedes to NJPW news. It broke the day after the match was announced on Dynamite and they barley promoted the match at all in the following weeks. I get that you couldn't tease her but you could've hyped the match. Still after Britt's promo last week, I thought I was wrong. I have no idea why they let her drop that line.

Pretty sure that she had originally agreed to be there but didn’t sign anything and then it fell through for whatever reason this week. Whatever mang, I don’t have the energy to get angry about it or anything.

You can't do shit like that. Just can't. The only thing they actually did was have Britt do a small tease Doesn't mean something still won't happen, but something clearly came up over the five weeks, probably the New Japan booking

Yeah, I think that’s the type of shit that erodes good will if it becomes a thing. Hopefully they’ve learned and that’s it.

I think they're still setting something up but something clearly changed recently. Either way, while I'll give AEW the benefit of the doubt overall, how they handled that the situation going into tonight is an L for them.

Any amount of tease for something that wasn't locked in was objectively stupid, but once it was over I was over it.

Glad the match wasn't shit on, but that's probably because the fans were expecting her to show up after. I completely understand why her fans are disappointed.

What gets me is, forget the Mercedes thing, NOTHING of substance happened here. We did not even get the full Shida turn.
For something hyped for a month, the payoff was a wet fart.

Announce that it will be Toni Storm weeks ago and this doesn't happen.

At the end of the day, it didn’t tank the show, but I personally wound up disappointed. I bet others were, too.
