They need to get rid of AEW and just have ROH, the good brand. And start booking the Manhattan Center again.

With the way attendance is going, this feels inevitable 😔

This feels like the way you'd retire the Ironman Heavymetalweight title, everyone is the champion.

this is a good idea. or Renee can have a big santa sack by the ramp and hand out a shiny new highspots belt to each person as they come out. that way no one has to be not be a champion or feel lesser.

The continental belt was a gift to eddie so he could have a triple crown. its served its purpose. Okada should toss it in a woodchipper and bbt should change the reward for winning the C2 into a gigantic trophy. Need more trophies in aew.

I'd be okay with all of the belts if they would just differentiate why each belt is significant or whaf it represents beyond being a belt. TNT Title at least had the 'face of the network' thing to make it different from the World title amdbI know people hate on the RoH Pure Championship but at least that has a set of rules that would explain why certain wrestlers wouldn't be interested in pursuing it.

I don't care about the significance of belts or titles that don't mean poo poo to me man. As far as I'm concerned all this exists as an excuse to show me that sicko poo poo like Pac vs Okada or Osprey vs Danielson.

In fairness, the Continental title having the 'no-one allowed at ringside' rule does help a little.


On a different note, I'm still confused as to why the heels went over in the streetfight. It genuinely feels like there was a logical story going where Willow was succeeding without Stokely's help, but Kris was struggling, Will was gonna get a title shot, win the title, and then Statlander would turn on her out of resentment stoked (heh) by Stokely, gives her a nice little defence and then you go to the Mercedes match... and instead they've decided to turn Willow heel with very little explanation when Mercedes resenting her for winning the title that should've been hers in NJPW makes Mercedes the natural heel, IMO. (Plus she's a better heel than face)

Mercedes is a face right now and doesn't know whether she can trust Willow or not. Statlander is being set up to join her out of frustration that her team with Willow is failing because of her personal shortcomings.

TBH, I think my biggest issues are the finish to the streetfight (I feel like the right finish was Willow pinning Skye to set up the title match at the PPV) and the opening segment. Willow clearly rearing back for deliberate chair shot makes ZERO sense. There's a million better ways they could've laid that out. Have Mercedes also with a weapon, and when the lights go out they're facing away from each other, bump into each other and both go to swing before stopping, for example.

she wasn't rearing back for a deliberate chair shot. She made it look like that to plant doubt but she was clearly looking around so she was looking for the bad guys. This is a case of miscommunication. Not deciding to go bad.

Looking for the bad guys by staring straight at Mercedes and not anywhere around the ring or moving in any way. Right.

Look, if it worked for you, fine, it didn't for me and soured me on the storyline a good bit

I'll have to go back and watch but I just figured Willow was supposed to be trying to help and Mercedes would misinterpret and I think Willow did a bad job at getting that across. But maybe I am projecting too much and Willow really was just thinking about loving Mercedes up with that chair and was really indecisive about it.
