And if they want to suddenly turn her again she can just say that she acted that way and did all those things because she was really tired. Blame it on jetlag

Concerning the music distraction...I don't like it, either, but I'll at least give it that they didn't have the match end with a rollup and it was probably a last minute thing given that it was a quick way to feature Britt despite her being banged up this week and having to drop out of the match. Given the circumstances, it's not the end of the world. If it became a habit? Different story.

Her big brother James keeps getting her drunk and she's a really mean drunk.

Given the circumstances, it's not the end of the world. If it became a habit? Different story. And on Rampage tonight, Ruby didn't like it either, she hasn't forgotten anything Britt's done, and Britt hasn't forgotten either. They essentially want to try and get Ruby on their side and not the Invaders, but for Ruby that's a hard pill to swallow having to stand by Britt who has done nothing but lowball her since she's been there as a heel So it's a bit more complicated than just having the distraction finish be what it is, there's follow up and there's a story... lines are gonna be drawn here before we might see an all out team war.

Singling this out as a sentiment because I've really started to find the phrase over-used in a...particular way. I will say, as a slight defense, people used it at FTR before the chain match with The Briscoes last month but then I haven’t watched that match (or the series and I should remedy that) so I can’t say either way. Otherwise, yeah, it is overused and it’s grating. FTR also had that face at WrestleKingdom, as well.

I'm fine with it being "outsiders v originals" as long as it's just limited to just those 2 being dicks about it, not dividing up the whole roster. Seems to be going that way with Ruby not joining, Shida was "made" in AEW but they have referenced her wrestling in Japan and having outside experience loads so a different situation to a Britt of Willow.
Don't think this is going to set the world on fire but it's fine.

It's not like Toni had a very deep face character to begin with, which was half the problem, really. Not that Hayter is especially well defined, but we've had a year and a half of her being around, making funny faces during Britt promos, and looking awesome; it makes sense that when you have two great workers who are practically blank slates, the more familiar one who comes across as more of a person will get cheered. Regardless of how it happened, Toni probably needed the heel turn just to try out the creative space where heels often find their voice by not needing to look good all the time. Imo this has been a big issue with the entire division. Most of the women's character seem to be "Woman who loves wrestling" which is what they are, but it doesn't make for a great gimmick.

Could not agree any harder with this.

I mean that’s really stupid logic all things considered if that’s their justification. Just turn Jamie face properly since that’s what the crowd wants. You could finally have done the Jamie vs Britt feud you’ve been teasing for ages too
Heck you could even have still turned Toni heel. Just use the crowd booing her instead of Jamie as the reason and you know……..actually build up to it

Is anyone really surprised TK would try to make Britt a face?

Britt gets cheered and whatnot anyways. Might as well lean into it. Think it'll be even better if she's leaning face with Hayter and then turns on her so they can feud. Can easily use the "my henchwoman got the spotlight that is mine." story when that comes.

Like, what would be the use in fighting the crowd over the fact Britt gets cheered? The perfect way to do that is to have Britt turn on Jamie when the opportunity is right. Probably if this Blood and Guts idea happens, Curt Hennig's turn in 1998 done right.

Probably if this Blood and Guts idea happens, Curt Hennig's turn in 1998 done right. Also, Britt hasn't turned face pretty much at all, so yeah, the avenue to turning against Jaime, should they choose to go that route, is wide open. I find that some of us (sometimes myself included) need to deal with the fact that both Britt and Jade are over. Having been in live reactions for both, their reactions are pretty undeniable, even if I prefer a number of other women in the division.
