Oh that’s her name.

Curious how they’re going cut the actual show this week they have an hour of growing crowds hot to cheer for some wrestling, and an hour of shrinking exhausted crowd.

They often shoot it so that you mostly just see ringside only.

They also move people down closer to the ring to fill seats.

It's not that kind of test.

Love the tiny saluting Infantry.

If ROH (and AEW) can semi-regularly exchange talent with Stardom it will do wonders for the women's division. I think this might be a one-off since Utami was already in North America but here's hoping!

They were in calgary (where she was) for one night and doing one taping. They didn't have much flex in terms of the schedule.

Also a good way to get her used to working in an AEW ring without the pressure of live TV.

Yeah, live TV is a whole other beast. ROH being a streaming show is pretty cool if just for flexibility.

They needed the 3 women's slots for the Owen tournament, because Willow and Britt got hurt and cut off the amount of slots they had open.

This is not me getting snippy about the women's division this time, just saying that this week in particular there was no spot open for any women, unless she's there to be squashed to set up BotB

Also ROH is better for the women's division anyway.

She means nothing to most AEW viewers but a lot to the kind of fan that subscribes to HonorClub. If you have her for one night you put her where she will mean the most.

This. The only nice AEW connection is Jamie, and she's hurt.

Also, Tony realizes that things like this are a selling point for his streaming service. Surprise guests are a nice gift to the audience and you don't get the idiots on Twitter complaining about not knowing them

Seriously, getting blindsided with ZSJ and having Shibata teased at the first show taught me that RoH is important, and this is no different. Tony wants us to know he cares about this fed (even after a weak week)

Still think I kinda prefer the studio shows for vibes but it probably feels better to do it in an arena even with the empty seats

What a useless crowd for that match.

Trish didn't look great there and the finish was pretty sloppy, but the match was good!

To be fair it never feels good to try to start a clap and nobody goes with you
