Having Jade squash a better wrestler in Nicole Matthews only to have Taya come out sure was a choice.

The fact that the only women’s match here was a squash is annoying.
But Taya is a good pick up. Please don’t just feed her to Jade immediately.

disappointed they did Nicole Matthews like that, but I'm wondering if that was always the plan or if the fact that it's been pretty much confirmed that Taya was leaving Impact for like a month and that this was in Canada that they decided to do a change.
Either way, a very good pick up

I didn't like that the only women's match was a squash, but as it set up the bigger match with Taya (and there was the in ring promo later in the show with everyone) I'll give it a pass.
Taya has star quality and charisma so I think she's a good signing for AEW.

Not that it would have made much of a difference, but you could have easily cut the QTV segment for Rampage to add to the match tonight.
Instead they hyped up Nicole as a 17 year vet to lose under a minute to debut an okay Taya.
The TBS division continues to spin its wheels deeper into the mud

Also, unless you know damn well that either Kris Statlander is 100 percent ready or you get Mercedes Monet to commit to an AEW contract, Taya has to win the TBS title

For the un initiated here is your welcome intro gift on Taya from SlamTown. Note:This was sent in by some guy with the screename of "get my shit in" sounds like a total meat head.

Wasn’t a fan of the squash, but Taya is freaking awesome so that is a huge pickup I feel. She was someone I wanted them to get years ago, but she went to NXT instead.

Eh. As we were saying in the Dark/Evolution thread, I'm not a fan of 1 min squashes, especially when the squashee is an established, competent indy name. But then again, Nicole Matthews has just moved to the US, so if Tony really wants her on the roster, he can easily bring her back at a later date. Not convinced that he will, though, or that Nicole is aiming for a long term contract anywhere.
As for Taya... I've only seen her work in Impact, but she's never really done anything for me, really. She's okay, but if the plan is to build the division around her, meh.

Yeah, she and SDR(Claudios wife) were the reason a women revolution happened in WWE post divas era.

But it so rarely happens with women and one of the only times it does with Nicole here it's a complete and utter squash just to set up this thing. Bums me out. I also don't really think she should dethrone her but I also think it should have just been Red Velvet.
