Take it to Double or Nothing.

Honestly, I think this is one of the big issues with AEW and has been for a while. I appreciate a slowburn storyline as much as the next person, but quite often things get dragged out or the same point keeps getting made over and over. The Baker/Hayter split had been teased for ages, and that has yet to be resolved to a satisfactory conclusion (injury-related issues aside).

That, plus the over-reliance on certain crutches, e.g., MJF with the diamond ring year-in year-out, or Britt Baker retaining the women's title well-past the point where she should've dropped it because all her matches just had ungodly amounts of endless bullshit in it - although I did appreciate heel Toni Storm calling out apparently face Britt Baker for being a rank hypocrite about the manner in which she won her title. "You kept retaining your belt because of all the bullshit you and your friends pulled to help you keep it including at my expense that one time, and then suddenly it's all 'oi, mate, that's out of order, so it is,' as soon as you have it done to you? gently caress off." Someone explain to me how Toni was apparently the heel in this situation?

There is no story, Mariah is just Toni's lackey and will be for awhile. just like when Jamie returns so will Britt to be Britt's eternal lackey.

I just hate how making Mariah "previous Toni Storm" wiped out any of her own personality or ability to explore her own gimmick.

Hopefully the Stardom interactions change that.

The monkey's paw to Tony watching how poo poo Billy Gunn vs Switchblade was and realizing Billy can't go one-on-one anymore. Keeping him in the trios title scene for another year or two

Hayter wasn't Britt's lackey when she got hurt, if anything Britt became Jamie's

Tony's a pacifist at heart. He doesn't like having confrontations behind the scenes or on his wrestling shows. No reason to have a big blow-up where people with simmering tensions explode into a fight on ppv. Best to just let their frustrations and beefs peter out over the course of weeks or months or even years! until they eventually quietly go their separate ways.

I'm sure she's doing other stuff, but given how she came in along with Mone and is like her personal writer, it really feels like Pepperman is stealing a living at the moment.

"Okay this week you're gonna do another promo. Make sure you say 'CEO' a bunch. Also don't forget those catchphrases we've not managed to get over yet. Yeah, the ones where you rhyme 'Pay' with 'Mone' If you get stuck just do that little bouncy dance where you show everyone the backs of your hands"
