Maybe that "The First Dance" thing they trademarked is some kind of big joint show with a bunch of promotions including NWA, and part of the deal was Rosa's contract. This is my wild and baseless speculation.

I think it's an actual dance. Like, ballroom and poo poo.

This really, really shakes up the Britt title reign, too. Hopefully it ends up really exciting. I was always under the assumption that Britt would get into 'safe' feuds for the rest of the year and then drop the belt early in 2022 to a freshly signed Thunder Rosa. But now Rosa is signed and is the #1 contender. This match is happening at All Out for sure. No loving idea who wins or where Britt goes from there. Could be rad as gently caress.


Is Diamante not signed yet? she's still touring with them and she's in the game. I figured she was basically locked in one of those "almost full time" contracts.

i cant really blame them for not putting rosa in long term storylines when you have the guy from smashing pumpkins putting her in "loser can't wrestle anywhere else that has a TV show on TNT" matches in the meantime

seemed inevitable but still hell yes thunder rosa rules and she was like, ridiculously over in texas even for a dark match. i wonder if they set her after britt immediately or if that takes some more time

I think you want to do Britt vs. Statlander at All Out, but Full Gear is a decent little reign for Britt if they want to have her drop it to Rosa there.

Thunder Rosa gives them a babyface who frees up Britt to be a full heel more instead of the tweener spot she's in.

It's too soon for Britt to drop it to her after their last feud imo. If they have Serena Deeb available that might be better for Britt's next feud and put Rosa in with Nyla maybe?

Nah, too soon. Rosa needs to be the one to beat Britt for the belt but it'd feel rushed, IMO, to take the belt off of her so soon.

Britt is most certainly winning the rematch.

Britt could beat Rosa in the early reign rematch, then do like Serena Deeb transitional champ run for a couple months and then send Rosa at her like a nuclear missile

Britt doesn't need to do a whole lot between now and All Out then. Have a match (or two) on the Pittsburgh shows but they'll be fairly obvious that she's going over. Maybe a commentary bit on the show before All Out during a women's match to hype it up, and a couple more interview type segments. With how good AEW is at cycling people in and out, she only really needs maybe 3 appearances on Dynamite between now and All Out.

I would simply have Britt beat Rosa (to counter balance the massive babyface pop that Adam beating Kenny will get) and have one of the extremely talented joshis in the roster win late in the year, maybe Ryo Mizunami depending on pops. Rosa can elevate the belt for sure, but right now the division itself needs more clarity, and Rosa not being in the title picture and instead having storylines with Deeb or Yuka or Penelope or Statlander or Diamante etc is more important.

Bryan jumping and Punk coming out of retirement in AEW is the kind of fantasy booking I would have done my first year posting here when I was still a wide-eyed idiot who didn't know anything about wrestling's behind the scenes I didn't learn from a WWE funded documentary. What a crazy world.

Thunder Rosa is also super loving over so I would have no problems having her take the title off Britt straight out. "Fiery babyface takes out her longtime rival" is the sort of straightforward-but-solid storytelling the women's division could use right now, and it lets the audience know Thunder Rosa is officially a foundational piece for the show after a year spent in technically-unsigned limbo.

If you wanted to push things past All Out, I feel like I would rather have Britt interfere to cost Thunder Rosa a #1 contender match or something else to duck her rather than having Britt beat Rosa head to head. Rosa having Britt's number is a great dynamic and I think it'd muddy things to reset their record to 1-1 (technically 0-1, but you know)

gently caress it, I changed my mind. Thunder Rosa rules, put the belt on her at All Out. Make it a cage match or something and make sure it's double sanctioned so the win matters this time.
