I think there's still kind of a lack of talent in the division. Hayter and Storm are awesome both on the mic and in the ring. After that it's pretty thin. Britt is great on the mic but I think her title run kind of exposed that the ceiling for her in-ring work isn't very high.

I really like Shida and think she should be given another run with the belt in front of live crowds.

Ruby has been a massive disappointment. I don't know if it's her in-ring work or who she's working with, but every match of hers in AEW that I've watched has been a major botchfest.

The talent doesn't help, but the booking is the biggest issue.

AEW booking of the TNT titles has been weird

Somehow killing both Hobbs and Wardlow momentum at the same time

AEW's problem is that aside from a certain core group of people, they inconsistently use people from week to week, consistently. In fact, it's really f'ing strange.

All AEW issues aside, that Jungle Boy/Guevara match was an absolute banger.

That Spanish fly off the ring apron had to be painful for both!

I winced pretty hard at the ridiculous reverse implant DDT as well. It's too bad Sammy is such a scumbag, because he's ridiculously talented.

Yup.

When AEW first started they really were against 50-50 booking, I think that was something Cody was very adamant about.

But outside of like Jade Cargill, Moxley, and MJF the booking has been a lot of 50-50 booking at times.

Hell Death Triangle vs The Elite 7 game series was the definition of 50-50 booking.

This whole Samoa Joe - Hobbs - Darby Allin - Wardlow TNT Title picture has been a mess of 50-50 booking.

He really is ridiculously talented...does things in the ring others don't do and when he wants to can sell really well too.

It started even before that with the Cody/Sammy feud.

He should have squashed the Cobra Commander in about 4 minutes leaving the masked guy running to the hills yelling "I'll get you next time GI Joe". Instead White looked like a doofus.

So I've said this before with Rudy, They touched on how bad her vision is on drive along. She has always looked clumsy in the ring and like she can't measure the ring or have depth perception.

She had the one really good promo after going heel and joining Storm and Saraya which was just a silly move.

They're pretty high on Kommander as well though, so that's why it wasn't a squash. Apparently he's pretty big in Mexico, and both AEW and WWE were trying to sign him.

That said, why not just put White in there with a jobber and make it a squash?

This new World Heavyweight Championship is one of the dumbest creative decisions WWE has made in a while. No one is ever going to look at that belt as anything but a consolation prize.

Yeah just screams impatience.

Have Reigns lose them split the belts again and introduce the new belt.

Unless they are working to Reigns vs Rock at WM 40...which wouldn't surprise me

I actually think this one is HHH.

He's wanted to bring back the big gold belt for a while.

And based on social media this week I think they give Roman a new version of the winged eagle. They have been making posts about the Winged Eagle and the history of that belt all week, can't just be a coincidence.

AEW has reportedly already sold 60,000 tickets to All In at Wembley. Whether you're an AEW fan or not, that's great news for wrestling as a whole.
