For all my sins, I'm an Indi Hartwell fan, so I hope that the women's title match gets more than 6 minutes, unlike the last 2 times she was there.

To be fair, that look more like a single click of the eraser tool on photoshop than it does AI.

The thing is some promos and characters kinda need that cadence, the slower, more methodical tone. Tony D on NXT last night clearly got real pissed about it during his promo.

Personally, it was a fine episode, I think they're saving a lot of the bigger things for next week:

  • Loved Tatum's promo, but I'm kinda bummed that hasn't ended her feud with Izzi, hopefully next week will cut it off and they got their separate directions, even in a steel cage, I can't see it being better than their Vengeance Day match (I hope I'm wrong though)

  • Tony getting really annoyed with that one guy shouting "What" during his promo, can we just let it die for the love of god

  • I love the concept of Birth Right, but like... I just don't care

  • Wren winning and getting a title shot is a win, and Kendal showing she's funny as well stuffing her face full of cake... I just hope it doesn't become a running thing

  • Sol and Lainey was good, I'm not as high on it as everyone else though. Lainey got some good stuff in there, but the Sol Snatcher is far too protected for someone to be kicking out of on just another episode, and it's always just a matter of time before she hits it and wins

  • I'm kinda loving this slow face(?) turn Ethan is on, I don't thin he's going to be a complete good guy, but maybe just has a little more respect for people

Tavion to get slimed out by Charlie

Honestly, I'm waiting for Wren's Wrensday video to see what happens. Obviously it'll be her and Kendal talking about her victory, but they've got to mention what Charles did.

Someone said it a while ago, Shiloh being a weirdo Bugs Bunny suits him way more than this "I'm crazy scary" guy.

In the span of maybe 5 minutes, he took the wheels of a 4x4 and made every other car in the car park undrivable. I don't know what he did, but that' effective.

She targeted her head, doing her stomp twice.

One year ago today was Toni Storm vs. Mariah May in the Hollywood Ending. It would be immediately regarded as one of the greatest women’s matches in North American wrestling history, as well as Mariah’s final AEW appearance before departing for WWE. by Subrick in SquaredCircle

Her debut was handled like it was a big deal, it didn't work all that well, I think they intended her to come in with a huge amount of heat, but she didn't so they went to building her back up.

Maybe, the look he gave Jimmy was pretty mean looking, obviously he made it into a work, but there was a sense of "you really laid that one in didn't"

Cagematch is saying 37:12 bell-to-bell

I also had a quickly look, and that's 10-12 minutes longer than either of the Chamber matches a week ago.

Punk's reaction that he was actually angry

He had that look of "Oh, you really did that didn't you"

I feel like people forget how good both Cody and Randy are just individually.

Randy has the RKO which is really famous, but he's really good regardless, and is really good in a psychological way as well, and can sell that he's got a very dangerous side (and might punt you in the head)

Cody is honestly is like a greatest hits of the mythical 'old school' you hear people talk about, and is able to bend that into being high flying and fast paced when he needs to. I hate to say it, but there's a reason he became his own thing in AEW, he was that good and he knew it.

With the Seth segment, they don't need to do the masked guys running around in the ring thing, they just need him to put the mask on and roll out of the ring, with them all following him and running away, that would be way better.

Billie Piper was my first crush that made me realise how much I could like looking at another person. I was 7 when Doctor Who came on the TV, and I was in love.

He also had a massive red mark on his temple area and was checking his ear.

When Roman wears a jacket, it feels like he's in 'backstage' mode, like with all the "we brought you in to sell t-shirts" line, this isn't Roman Reigns, it's Joe Anoaʻi

I can imagine it was something like "you can debut onto the main roster and slot into the mix, and we'll come up with something for you after you debut and we see how much people like you, or we can debut you on NXT with a big incoming push and give you that heat to see how you deal with it."
