Enjoyed the women's trios match. Toni Storm is totally playing the part of Gretchen Wieners and I'm here for it. Also enjoy the blink and you miss it tension between Shida and Britt that's been teased on the last couple of shows. Doubt it leads anywhere but I like that we're getting at least a little complexity.

Solid opener with Chantilly vs Tormenta. Tormenta typically has good chemistry with most of her opponents. Pleasantly surprised at the upset win for Chantilly.
The impromptu Randi/Gigi match was interesting with the missing members of Team Spirit, which seemed rather weird. I do like the Brat Pack though and would have enjoyed the original trios match planned.
Glad to see the Mother Truckers/Sophia Lopez storyline progress. I’m sure we’ll see more between these five.
Great main event. Penelope and Aussie had a really good showing. Liked the near falls and teases. And nice to see the Beast show up at the end to stake her claim.

Unhinged Toni Storm continues to rule.
I need more of the Nyla/Emi/Marina tandem. Like what are their team meetings like?
I feel like Ruby has been on a roll lately. I almost wouldn't mind her stealing a win over Stat.

Really dug the number one contender's match 4 way on NXT. All four women looked great and it will be interesting to see where they go with Kiana vs Tiffany.

Wrecking Ball requested her release from WOW.
That sucks. I enjoyed her team with Reina.
This week's show:
Enjoyed the opening trios match. Some nice double team moves from the Exile/Ice Cold tandem. I would be down to see more from both groups.
Nice win for Kandi Krush and Foxxy Fierce.
Fury/Holidead/Siren vs Americana/Spring Break 24/7 was a fine match although I feel like the friction between Fury and Holidead/Siren could have been played up more before the eventual turn. Nice to see Americana finally get her revenge.
The main event was a fun brawl and it was great to see the Tonga Twins finally win the big one. Curious to see if my girl, Princess Aussie, can be as lucky.

I get the whys behind the Saraya win and I'm one of the few that actually hasn't had a problem with her AEW run but I was still hoping Shida would get a little more time as champ. Having said that, the match was decent enough with a cool surprise from the "OG" Sweet Saraya and there are some interesting possibilities coming out of this between the eventual Shida rematch to Outcasts dissension and Mone.

Nice win for Ruby and I can get behind a storyline between her and Statlander. Ruby has been upping her promo game too.

BK and Tiki had some good chemistry and really worked well together. Nice win for Tiki.
I like both Foxxy and Robbie but things seemed to run out of steam after a promising start.
I agree that Tormenta/Florez was match of the night and probably one of WOW's best of this season. Tormenta was really able to lean into her heelness with the smaller Florez. And this was a starmaking turn for Jen-Z. With all of the talk of her being the future of WOW, I really hope we see more of her in Season 2.
Liked the story in the tag main of Holidead and Siren trying to isolate Wreckingball and then it breaking down into the big brawl.

The tag main on Rampage was good stuff. Especially enjoyed the post match antics. I'm surprised we haven't had any Outcasts tension teases.

Post your favorite Lacey Evans moments! Mine was this (now deleted) Twitter thread:
lol I enjoyed the feud with Nattie where Lacey had trouble with the mounted police and Nattie got on Twitter and said the police officer was her cousin and that her aunt would then cause problems for Lacey in customs because the Harts run Canada. lol Enjoyable mainly for Nattie's twitter antics, which are pretty underrated.
Other than that, her main roster stuff was pretty much a series of stops and starts. I remember thinking she showed potential in NXT.

So I assume when the "new season" begins next month, she'll be gone. Surprised since her being an executive producer was a big sell when they initially came back again. I was never a fan of her in wwe, but totally enjoyed her here on commentary so she will be missed.
Same. I felt a little bit of her went a long way in WWE but I enjoyed her on commentary in WOW.

Good to see my favorite duo, Penelope and The Bunny, back on my screen. The match with Britt, like all of the qualifying matches, was pretty much a foregone conclusion. No surprises there. Hoping that Shida retains at All In.

Enjoyed the tag match between Stat and Willow vs Diamante and Martinez. Nice to see the heels steal a win too so that things can continue. I'm always for any sort of direction or feud in the division.
I'm a fan of a heel losing it all and then losing their shit (seeLaurel Van Ness) so I'm here for newly unhinged Toni Storm.

I liked the Tiki vs Gigi match. They were definitely opponents that complimented each other.
The tag match between the Mother Truckers and BK/Robbie was also good. The mentions of Sophia Lopez have to be leading somewhere
Vickie Lynn Vs Aussie was my match of the show. Short, as usual, but I'm digging the Aussie push.

I actually thought Anna Jay looked better than she ever has in her match. She was mostly hitting stuff clean and was in position really well. I think they botched the finish, but can't put that all on her. I'm guessing Parker was supposed to put her hand on the rope?
I agree. I thought Anna Jay looked fine. There were some small things, like the issue with her top and the missed kick, but it was perfectly fine wrestling. Just wish there had been more "buzz" around it since it was the main. Reminded me of when they put Deonna Purrazzo Vs Mercedes Martinez as the main with very little fanfare.

Slight pivot, but while elsewhere on this board ppl are complaining about how AEW book/feature women.....there really ought to be a Dark Side of the Ring about the failure of Rousey in WWE, and let's face it, she had a good look in NXT but Baszler is the Queen of Spades of a busted flush; she's not rehabilitatable at this stage IMHO....Shafir might yet turn out to be the best of them.
I agree. I loved Shayna in NXT but they have messed both her and Ronda up so badly that this win, which should be a huge deal, does nothing for her.
-
Very happy for Iyo. I was convinced they were going to have Bayley screw her out of her opportunity somehow.
I can understand what they were going for with Shayna/Ronda but that crowd wasn't here for it.

Nice opener between Las Bandidas and Stephy/Jen. I think a case can be made for Las Bandidas getting a tag title shot as well given their recent streak.
Decent outing for GI Jane and Kandi Krush. I almost thought Jane was gonna take the upset a couple of times.
Fury and Keta Rush are two of my favorites so it was cool to see them lock up. The Heavy Metal Sisters remain a force and the WOW referees remain the most oblivious to cheating refs in the game lol Nice to see Americana and Spring Break come to the rescue. The Sisters are gonna have to get their karma soon.
The main was a nice battle of powerhouse teams. It was a little on the short side, as all of the WOW main events tend to be, but cool to see the Tonga Twins win as they have such a history with Miami Sweet Heat now. Enjoyed the post match antics too.

Enjoyed the match between Mercedes and Statlander once they got in their groove. The inevitable tag showdown with the added Diamante and Willow should be good.

I'm not going to argue whether it happened or not because a person's perception is their reality. But the locker room is doing themselves no favors by dogpiling on, especially the particularly nasty posts. Crazy to see wrestlers one step away from the Indies themselves attacking someone still making her living on them.
While I've always championed the AEW women's division and think it has come a long way, there are still some issues to be ironed out, like having actual storylines and giving the women some more screentime. Doesn't always have to be a match. Crazy that Impact has less television time a week but does a better job of making their woman matter.

Very cool moment for Shida. As much as I feel like there is still juice in Toni as champ and the faces chasing the Outcasts, I love Shida and will never begrudge her a second title reign. Plus Iove that they managed to gag me on what I assumed would be another "Outcasts cheat to maintain" moment.

Fury always looks great in singles and this was no exception. I was surprised Sandy didn't have Crystal and/or Americana ringside to combat the Heavy Metal Sisters.
yeah, weird not to have Crystal and Americana out with her, especially with the way the Heavy Metal Sisters were cheating their asses off lol The six ladies must be happening soon
Can I say that I love the commentary team? AJ, Dickey, and McLane are just three cool little dorks.

Trish/Becky was definitely match of the night. Kudos to all involved and great redemption for Trish.
