With the unfortunate news of Willow being injured & having two relinquish the TBS Title. This situation has opened a window for AEW to actually try and push someone new in the position.

I think Forbidden Door could be a prefect location to have a new TBS champion crowned. Let's say we get a ladder match involving women on the roster & other partners. ​Regardless of the match itself they cannot retread and go back to the safe options like Mercedes or previous title holders. They need a wake up call on the women's roster & having someone elevated is a absolute must at this point.

If we look at just pure wrestling ability, these are the type of resurgence you don't see often. I was never a big fan of Ciampa, even in NXT honestly, but I was a dumb kid, so maybe I'm just seeing what many already knew but was hidden for years.

On paper they’re being genuinely very supportive and kind to each other… to an almost glaring extent. I mean we got a pre-match “you can do this I believe in you” backstage segment AND a post-match “hey man you really gave it your all out there you have nothing to be ashamed of” in ring promo, which should read like just being a great friend, but it’s starting to read like Kevin Knight is “lil bro-ing” Speedball. He feels like he’s lowkey getting a lil too big for his britches here with how often he’s grabbing that mic and I sense trouble a-brewing… most interestingly though I really can NOT tell who’s actually going to turn on who here. It’s feeling 50/50 to me at this rate. It feels more in-line with their characters for Knight to end up being the bad guy here, but storyline wise it feels like it’s starting to lean in Speedball’s favor.

I wasn’t very familiar with either man prior to arriving in AEW but they both feel like such perennial babyfaces (especially Bailey, which makes me want to see a heel run from him even more tbh). Has either man had a solid bad guy run before?

That's right sub Reddit, and the word(s) of the day, is future world champion! Cos hot damn, your Sussex County Chicken Farmer gotta have gold in his future, and i don't mean no National title, I don't mean no Continental title, I'm talking the biggest, shiniest world title.

It was your boy from the Conglomeration, it was no disqualification, it was high expectations, and it was a match a' the year contender, on some random Dah-namite. He is over like Moldova, so Tony Khan, if you're listening, lets put that big belt round the waist of dat boy! Get it on, hak! Hak! Hak hak hak hak!
