I wonder what their plan with Yuka is for this little excursion. I think she's only here for a month or so which doesn't feel like a long enough time to me to have a title program with Britt, plus I don't think there's a ton of faces they should have feuding with mega-face-in-waiting Britt right now anyway. I think they should use Yuka to make someone else a heel, as the roster doesn't have hardly any heels right now. Someone like Serena or white suit Shida should brutalize Yuka in a match and then continue it after the match to really hammer home the turn.

Could be they do a tag match at FFTF with her and someone else vs. Britt and Penelope with Yuka getting a pin on Britt.

I’m assuming the end point for the tag belts atm is Stuno vs Bucks in the first AEW tag title ladder match, so I think Silver is just hinting that maybe his first match back (on TV, at least) is going to be that elimination match.

I’d also guess that elimination match might be what anchors the first Rampage show. Spend four weeks building to a giant match like that, and the ramifications of the match lay out the top of the card for the PPV and there’s a straight build over the six shows after that.

I think crowds are gonna help prevent Uno and Stu from getting lost in the shuffle the way they were during the Daily's Place era. The pop Uno got at DoN feels like a legit turning point for him. Got the TNT title shot, got the mic time to set up the most important match in the company's history, successfully took the ball and ran with it when he got both those opportunities.

Silver can get hero spots in the 5v5 without jumping the tag team pecking order (although Silver/Reynolds also own and I wouldn't be mad about any scenario that gives them more shine)

salivating at bucks/stu & uno tearing the house down for the title considering their history, especially as a follow up to their very good match last year that still left a lot on the table, but now it has the proper face/heel alignment

I was thinking Fight for the Fallen, but it could be that or one of the New York shows. Probably not Homecoming.

Could be yeah. With as many wins and as much attention as she's gotten lately though I kinda fee like Kris is the next challenger after Nyla. I just feel like There's a dearth of heels on the women's side and using Yuka to create a new one is a better use of her than a short title program that no one thinks she'll win.

This plus the Elite (or even just Kenny) interfering and injuring one of Uno/Stu would add another wrinkle to Hangman/Kenny.

Britt destroying Yuka in a brutal and overwhelming way would be better. Draw her back as a mega heel after the Nyla fued muddied it up. Not every face of the company needs to be a "face." Undertaker, Yokozuna, and Ted DiBiase are all stuck just as iconic as Bret Hart.

They probably will, I don’t think they’ve named which pair are getting it?

Do the 5 man as page plus 10/5(to eat the first pin and put the face team in peril)/Reynolds/Silver and they give Uno and Stu the title shot as a gift because they’re bros and don’t want to go into the match banged up when there’s a fresh team right there to bring the titles to the faction.

My guess is that it’s gonna be Stuno+Good,Bad,Hungiee vs. Bucks, Bros, and Belt Collector, with 10, 5 and Colt in the Dark corner to counter Nakazawa, Callis, and Cutler being on the outside for the Elite.

Just to clarify: this loving dipshit is talking about AEW here. A WWE fan saying AEW underutilizes quality talent is just a thousand ironicats climbing aboard a clown balloon and sailing off to opposite world.

I wonder if Matt's going to mention anything on BTE about his Keith Haring outfit, or if it was just something he found in some weird shop. It seems like the kind of thing someone would wear for Pride Month rather than a random show in July.

Neither of the Bucks strike me as guys who would recognise that outfit as anything other than “it’s loud and obnoxious, this will be great” to be honest.

Not that that’s a bad thing, not everything needs to be a super secret double coded message with meaning.

Best Friends working heel would be such a fever dream, I'd love to see how they'd do it. I've started to get vibes that they're maybe angling towards something more serious or nuanced than backstage goofballs

Trent's injuries this year have really killed Best Friends's momentum. They were on fire all through 2020 and now I feel like they've dropped a ways down the pecking order just cause they've not been around :(

He’s missing a comma. Refs overselling and quality talent underutilized are two different complaints.

Sure, but when it's pretty widely recognizable art from a deceased AIDS awareness icon, it's a bit of an LGBTQ faux pas if he's just wearing it because it's "obnoxious".
