WMOTYC: Jade Cargill vs Ruby Soho, TBS Title Match, AEW: Dynamite 1/5/22

So I was thinking about this for like 5 minutes on if I wanted to nominate this or not. Like the match itself...existed, but I think putting the title on Jade was the wrong decision. Felt like the title should have gone on Ruby even if just for a little bit, to ignite a bit of fire for the new belt. But the botches and the finish being...a thing did not help anyone involved in this match. AEW putting the title on Jade right now is a massive gamble considering how green she is still.

WMOTYC: Bianca BelAir vs Carmella, WWE RAW 1/31/22

Pretty sure the polar ice caps had more heat than this match. It wasn't BAD from a wrestling perspective, but 95% of the match were heat spots, along with Carmella's constant screeching and commentary bickering. There are graveyards with more life than the audience had with this match. It was a 5:30 match apparently, but it felt more like a 10+ minute match with all of the constant heat spots.

Not counting the dirty finish, the match was clunky and Britt really did not need this win. Her push is getting incredibly oppressive. She's basically reaching Charlotte Flair levels of go-away heat with me.

No one watches NXT UK so it likely won't get enough nominations but:

WMOTYC: Blair Davenport vs Isla Dawn, #1 Contender's Match, NXT UK 8/4/22

The setup to the match was absolutely loving wretched (WWE falsely advertising a match that actually had a decent chunk of fans excited!), the match itself was wretched (both women were completely out of sync), and the finish was beyond stupid (a double DQ) when two more women ran in and started brawling with everyone.

This match was absolutely loving awful. The audience did not care in the slightest about Aliyah (despite this being in her hometown), who Graves pretty much all but buried on commentary through the entire match, especially when she started getting gassed. None of Aliyah's offense looked good in the slightest either. As an aside, Bayley really loving needs a new finisher, the Roseplant is bad. Really bad.
