I think that segment dragged a bit as they were stalling to fill the rest of the tv time, at least thats how it seemed to me.
I agree the women's match wasnt very good, they just didnt have any chemistry . I understand the "reason" for the outcome, but they missed a HUGE opportunity to make Statlander the champion going forward. Not that i think Riho is terrible, but she has 0 personality so far and its highly unbelievable for her continuing to beat women 2-3x her size.
I think AEW is still a solid product, but definitely still has flaws to work out, will just take time and patience.
One of the major issues is outside of Cody, MJF, Jericho and Mox-nobody has a clear direction.
Hangman has been floundering for awhile now and is stuck in this bizarre slow burn heel turn
PAC has been completely wasted and has really only wrestled Omega and Page
Darby Allin had a great match against Cody and then a great title match against Jericho. Ok lets give him a rematch against Cody to...lose, so now what?
Jungle Boy finally gets a rub with his match against Jericho, so whats next? Oh just back to tag and 3 man matches
Trent showed tremendous potential singles talent for like a month straight, nah back to tag and 3 mans for you
I know they only get 2 hours a week , or i guess 3 counting Dark, but they arent really utilizing it well yet imo
Also, Brandi is just awful. I dont want to hear her do interviews , announce, or see her wrestle period.
How is it believable that she is this evil villanous character, while being openly known as the wife of one if not the most over babyface on the roster
