A freelancing Naito is something I never thought would look so good…

I hope they don’t prolong her absence trying to find the perfect time to bring her back, I feel like it’ll only stall her more

Naomi current run would be halted fatally I think by an early loss in a three way of which she’s something of a third wheel already. Let her survive within Rhea and Sky’s insistence on each other and lead a program with someone fresh on the roster. Or Bianca Belair, I’m not picky

It’s unfortunate how many resets Thunder Rosa seemingly needs to get a consistent footing in AEW but I still think she has an esteemed role in the current climate of the company.

Miz being so animated is wholesome to watch considering how mundane his recent years have been. He’s still having fun with it; a silver lining to say the least….

A productive role for Kiana James, probably unnecessary for Giulia in the current WWE and the position she’s in but it shouldn’t hurt her any so why not…

I don’t know if I would go as far as a shock victory but Athena needs to be pushed to the absolute limit to legitimize Windsor. A perfect way to differentiate her thematically from the rest of the division.

Cena single-handily being the nucleus around such choas in every main event he’s been in since his return is intriguing in its own right to be honest. I don’t know if it’s interesting enough to make up for the lack of compelling performances in the ring but it’s interesting notwithstanding

I love the the explosiveness of their banners. Really captures the energy they emit on each show. Also, I hope for a golden lovers reunion

Admist all the controversy, if Punk is able to sleep with himself with himself at night then I come to think he made the right decision too. It’s his life and he should live for his happiness and peace, not my dwindling amounts.

Aesthetically, Cargill will always impress even if her in-ring work leaves some to be desired at times

Hayter has some of the worst luck I’ve ever seen but I think depending on the severity of the injury, she should remain on television at least semi-regularly. Run angles of her managing other women or foes antagonizing her injured state. Anything to keep her fresh in the people’s mind

Mark Henry added an atmosphere to Rampage that quickly faded but in its conception, the show had an unrivaled pace and electricity to it…

I adore Mariah May and her unhinged undertones still seem to be present here, though the appearance is brief. I have hope that she’ll be the demented vixen that grew into one of AEW’s best.

I’ll speak through a lens of ignorance but is one last Okada match out the question for Forbidden Door? That would be poetic I think

R-Truth is about live out the comeback run of a lifetime because of this firing. If WWE knows how to capture lighting in a bottle still, they know what to do next.

Reed going from a Bloodline ally to Seth Rollin’s heavy feels like a lateral step and I currently feel the same about Breakker’s placement with a more harsh outlook honestly. But I be damned if that trio doesn’t look menacing

The build to Evolution will have to be expeditiously started if they want an invested crowd in attendance. Their big matches should be penciled in but that undercard needs some passion injected into it I think

His position in AEW is a snug fit in a company filled with personal history for him to explore on a bigger stage. In WWE, it’s likely he would have to prove to many his style’s splendor with handcuffs due to WWE’s match’s structure

The bare minimum done spectacularly, I can’t be mad at Cena’s performance tonight considering his opponent. I just fear his title reign will be bogged down by efforts like this in moments not as appropriate.

I truly am excited for Vaquer in WWE. She always sounds excited about her direction and focused on the stories she can tell, and that can only mean good things for her mentally and hopefully the physical will follow in pursuit.

This feels like a constellation prize for being released, and if that’s true; that agent deserves a raise

I love the space that Saturday Night Main Event occupies. A meaningful, progressing tag match that still has room for some wildness via Bron Breakker’s offense
