Given that Rizen, Baron Black, and Fuego are all in the Elevation opening, are there seemingly every week, and are all over the vlogs generally, I have to imagine they're all downlow signed until things ramp up more for the new show.

Britt 100% gonna duck Thunder Rosa because she’s not actually part of AEW.

Leyla, Tay and Swole Revisited would all work as Britt’s first few programs.

Stat would be a good “oh the title could actually change” program to lead into the end game of Britt dropping to Rosa at Revolution the second that “Thunder Rosa is #AllElite” graphic drops on New Year’s.

I’d even go Full Gear if Billy absolutely refuses to let Rosa go before January 1, even though I think the women’s title could stand to change hands once or twice more this year.

Also Britt's got a lot of potential challengers if they can bring Joshis in. Yuka, VENY, Ryo, Mei Suruga.

AEW going out of their way to try and hire as much of the enhancement talent that helped carry them through the pandemic while WWE just lays off all their people who worked all through the pandemic is surely something

I was thinking of that earlier today. I know we shouldn’t Stan billionaire but TK has been a god drat saint throughout this pandemic. He’s given dozens of wrestlers regular paydays in the most uncertain time the industry has ever seen.

At the end of the day it's all for his benefit but it's still nIce to have a company that recognizes that they benefit from treating people well and encouraging a strong indie environment.

Continuing to bring her in to do extra work while she’s been recovering is at least a positive sign and I hope they continue to give her a look once she can go again.

She cut an amazing promo on Britt as the cold open to Elevation this week.

I like that AEW is pushing new people that aren't just ex-WWE folks. As much as I think it would be nice if guys like Andrade and Black end up in AEW, I'm more invested in guys like Darby, JB, MJF, Acclaimed etc etc who I had never seen prior to AEW.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
I think the big challenge with Britt Baker is that like, nobody who beats her gets elevated from it. Big Swole, Thunder Rosa, and Nyla Rose all have victories over Baker in 2021 and, aside from Swole's title match with Shida, none of them have ever appeared on Dynamite again. I like Dark and Elevation, but when you have 95% of the women's division relegated to the optional B and C shows on Youtube, that's kinda just telling the audience that Baker is the only woman in the company that matters.

They desperately need to start building babyfaces besides Thunder Rosa cause she literally cannot do anything title-wise until 2022, and if they don't it's just gonna be 6 or 7 months of matches where you know the challenger has literally no chance whatsoever of winning.

Matt on Sammy Vlog when?

edit: the heat between the Elite is real and it's because Cody is a huge Matt fan while Kenny likes Woolie. The Bucks watch Pat and Paige's streams.

Can't blame you for not remembering, but Rosa did recently have an "in action" on Dynamite where she squashed someone I have forgotten.
