And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Surely Velvet is the ring general in this match.

i don't have high hopes for the match, but it seems like a "hey show us something" type thing for Swole and Madi (we know Velvet can go, we know Leva can't)

Sad as it is to say, Leva is a very good test for new AEW talent. See what kind of match they can get out of someone with loads of character and not much skill

Leva Bates is the second worst worker in the company and isn't the straight up worst because they kept Rache Chanel around for an uncomfortable amount of time.

here come the planes

wrestled five times for aew, two of which were on tv - one in jan 2020 and one in july

i have a feeling that if there wasn't a pandemic she'd've probably been released, but also i imagine shaving your head for a storyline is the sort of thing that keeps you around

https://twitter.com/dustinrhodes/status/1373845872505716738 Couple more matches. Ray Lyn had a very well received match with Kilynn King on MPW's show last night so I think her vs. Tay should be very good.

she also had a fun match with Abadon on the first episode of Elevation, though most of that was her getting mauled and having good reactions to Abadon's gimmick

Elevation is a good glimpse into what an actual mid/lower card will look like as AEW gets more broadcast time that's not built around squash matches. I think confining the "serious matches" to two hours of TV time are why people like Janela/Sky/Sabian/basically every woman prior to 2021 keep ending up lost in the shuffle; once you account for the Top Guys you only have a couple open storylines to build per PPV cycle. I would enjoy a second TV show that's mostly Leyla/Ryo and Page/Angels caliber-matches, especially if it produces some more unpredictable match outcomes than post-pandemic Dynamite has generally allowed

Leva/Madi v. Swole/Velvet would be in that category for me too if it were someone else in Leva's spot. (I think people are way too harsh on Swole's ringwork, which imo is basically "fine with a few more hiccups than is ideal." Her personality more than makes up for any deficiencies on that front in my book)

Swole has got better since she debuted, and is more held back by health than by not being good. She just needs to be well enough to get sufficient ring time.
