The other part I heard was that she was a dick to people trying to coach her, specifically Jerry Lynn.

Jerry Lynn, a man so nice that

-Chuck & Trent used to have a segment on their Highspots show where they'd ask people about their Jerry Lynn memories, because Chuck thinks he's pretty much the nicest man in the industry. Almost universally, the memories were positive, except Roddy Strong, who ended up almost getting into a fistfight with Lynn. And then apologized because he realized he was wrong.

- He sold for me once. I dropped the TNA X division belt on his foot accidentally. He sold for me. Then signed a polaroid which I still have.

Plus Lynn was a world class wrestler.

I will brook no disrespect of Jerry Lynn. gently caress Ivelisse.

A country where you can always get richer.
Jerry's also employed as a coach, so it's literally his job to critique wrestlers and offer suggestions on how to improve. Apparently she told him "gently caress off, I know how to wrestle."

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Dang, that's cool. You don't usually see the belts close enough to make it out and even if they did I probably wouldn't have made the connection.

But yeah, everyone loves Jerry Lynn. If Ivelisse is the one person who doesn't think so then there's a high chance that she's the problem.

From what I've gathered, she tried to big league Thunder Rosa because she was a rookie when they were both in LU, so now that they were both wrestling in AEW this meant to Ivelisse that she should be treated like a veteran and go over all the time instead of Rosa getting the spotlight despite how much she's improved (which is a LOT).

That plus the theft from people's bags, plus acting like king poo poo of gently caress mountain got her blacklisted from anywhere major. It's a shame because she's talented in the ring, but she comes with a colossal ego and huge entitlement issues.

It seems like everyone who’s held the belt got a new one at some point so AEW said ‘gently caress it’ and leaned into it.

Not sure if the belt was changed for Darby though.

Edit: Darby went from red leather to black.

Cody 1 was lovely belt
Brodie was first good belt
Cody 2 was Brodie’s belt till it was retired
Darby won the third red strap and lost the black strap (I think)
Miro is the first really customized one

He's likely going by B. Matthew or Matthew Adams now if the hints are anything to go by. Black's asylum video was him getting into fights with Matthew which is Murphy's real name.
