Did anything ever come out about exactly what happened in that Leyla/Shanna match? To my eyes it looked like Leyla locked in her finisher and Shanna didn't want to tap out to to it for some reason, then Leyla legitimately locked it in to force her to tap. It was really weird, felt like Shanna went into business for herself.

Something definitely went down in that match, the ref had to step in between the two of them at the end and he was staring straight at Shanna as she left the ring so yeah, I think you might be onto something.

I don't think Sapp bothers to report on contentious matches on Elevation, but it definitely had a weird feeling at the end. That was her last match too so maybe you're right.

Obviously Shanna didn’t want to do the job for an immigrant.

Leyla is awesome and needs a big push.

She cracked the rankings for the first time this week, so I think she might get some more run on Dynamite in the next few weeks. I’d love to see them run it back with her and Deeb now that Deeb’s gone full heel grappler.

The match was also a good reminder that Sky is pretty loving good in-ring. Being in a tag team is deffo working better than trying for a solo run, and Ethan Page has the charisma to carry the team outside the ring, specially with the angle of "I hate and want to hurt one of the most popular people in the roster, who happens to be OK with getting murdered for dumb spots". Ultimately, I still am more excited for the Darby vs Page no DQ match that will inevitably happen, but this is deffo putting Sky and Page over for me. Men of the Year is a great song.

I think some monster hoss could fit. They talk poo poo, then stand behind Miro. Miro smiles as Ethan yeets Darby to Kentucky. OTOH

Miro: Page, you stream?
Page: oh no, I run a Vlog and
Miro: okay don't care. Sky, i hear you have a gaming podcast. What did you think about Horizon 2's new mechanics? Did you have issues on Returnal?
Sky: ...huh? oh! uh, no, I only play NBA games. I don't even have a PS5 yet.
Miro: i see

and then a crater appears where page and sky once stood

The tag match really sold me on Ethan Page. Not just yeeting Darby, but he and Darby slapping each other while in submission holds. It was the missing piece that clicked for me as a Page / MotY fan.

I just rewatched it and it definitely fell apart when Shanna slapped her and Leyla hit her with a double leg takedown(after the match when Leyla went at her in the corner she was saying “don’t you ever slap me like that again.”)

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Yeah, I don't know if it's the tag team stuff or Ethan getting used to AEW's creative freedom, but he really clicked for me last night as well.

I also can't say enough about how well AEW is using Christian, especially if you compare it to how WWE used Edge in his most recent run. Christian is having fun matches, building up young guys, and getting to look like a veteran while making his opponents look like stars for taking him to the limit or (in Jungle Boy's case) beating him.

I also really like Kazarian as a dude who's losing his poo poo and attacking the Elite every time they try to interfere in matches. Could lead to some fun stuff especially as the cracks have seemingly started to form and Kenny no longer looks completely unbeatable.

Hangmin winning the title at All Out, one year after he and Kenny lost the tag belts, two years after he failed to become the first world champion, would be quite something as a redemption arc.

Didn't Awesome Kong also have some unspecified health issues as well? I remember hearing that part of the reason the Nightmare Collective stuff was dropped, besides the fact that it was terrible, was that Kong needed surgery and then by the time she'd recovered from that it was time to film GLOW and then COVID happened while that was going on.

It's truly depressing how many times her careers been derailed by things she had no control over.
