Joe, Ospreay, MJF, Okada, Danielson, Swerve, Hangman, Wardlow, Hobbs…this should be the stable of serious singles wrestlers who at different times vie for the title. If storytelling is AEW’s weakness then just make the story high-level competition.

Their women’s wrestling is generally poor. I don’t know that even Mercedes can help that. The Toni Storm gimmick is fun but that match last night nearly derailed the night’s momentum.

There’s still so much stuff I can’t stomach - Cassidy, Darby Allin, “BCC”, and most importantly Jericho…and the pace of these matches with less experienced talent is just way too reckless.
