I have a ticket for Dynamite. I am really excited. I remember Juice from his annoying environmentalist gimmick from early NXT and say a few of his banger promos in New Japan. Bandito I have no idea about other then that is a pretty dope name. 

I’ve only been to one AEW show but it was an absolute blast! Have a great time, bud. The time can drag a bit by the end of Rampage (assuming they’re taping an hour of Dark beforehand). But it’s still a lot of fun.

Fun fact: First time matchup.

I'm torn on this.  I love Serena to bits and really want her to win the title.  But Toni won this recently so it'd be too soon for her to lose.  I can see Toni winning and in a couple months Serena comes back to get the title.  Or depending on when Thunder comes back she would just get it then once they sort out the interim stuff.

Shame Deeb is going to get jobbed out with no build. Would've loved an actual program with actual stakes between the two.

I mean the build has been Deeb teaming with Baker and the other 4 way, it isn't an out of the blue completely but I agree a bigger build would be nice

I'm as big a fan of Deeb as anyone here but she's had two title programs in 2022, vs Rosa and vs Martinez, both at PPVs. She was also shifted into this last big 4-way. On top of that, she had the very long series with Shida in a company where no one gets a long series with anyone. It's good that they're blowing off her being a contender here before moving on to the next thing as it should be a really good match, but I don't think she needs a third complete program this calendar year or that it's a good thing for the title honestly. If they really wanted to push her that way, they could have her stand up to Jade and be a tweener and give her a new and unique sort of challenge to overcome, as that's not a title she's challenged for.

Past Rosa/Britt, she's probably been featured more than any other female in 2022 though.

I (very) reluctantly agree. Deeb is probably my favorite person on the roster of any gender but it's too soon in Storm's run to even think about beating her (even though I don't think she's especially good). 

That said, they should just say (kayfabe or not) that Rosa's return is indefinite at this time and thus Storm vs Deeb will now be a decision match rather than an interim title match.

Deeb vs Jade if Jade (continues?) to turn face would 100% be an interesting angle. Jade training with Danielson has lead to her using a few unorthodox / unexpected technical wrestling moves for such a big hoss of a woman. I think they'd actually mesh up really well and that story of can the greener undefeated champ beat a 15+ year veteran submission specialist definitely interests me.

Either way I'm sure Deeb vs Storm will be a great match tonight, hopefully we can get a second women's segment on the show tonight too with Britt or Jade etc

Terrific 'Road To' this week. Gotta love Anthony Bowens! Not sure why Ass Daddy is on about 'Girlfriends'? Interesting to hear Max Caster straight up promo like that. I love seeing Keith Lee just talking. All nonchalant he still sneaks in an 'Indubitally'. And then excellent segments for Jungle Jack and Kingston-Guevara. Some of this Road TO stuff is the best stuff AEW is producing and I assume a lot of ppl aren't seeing it. That said, I also find some Road Tos sorta blah. It's kinda fun watching Josh Woods round out his game and slowly (maybe) become a player. Sterling's running a nice little unit there. It's funny seeing how Joe missiles Smart Mark into Wardy's crotch there for the powerbomb. I think Wardy no sold the ballshot there!? Definitely looked more legit than the regular ball-shot-fare. Man, that Rampage had a lot of good stuff! Sting breaking a pair of handcuffs was not part of that good stuff. I blame the producer on that not Sting - who's wrestling continues to be flawless. I dig seeing Juice Robinson get a shot in prime time here. Not a complaint, but would have liked to have gotten a little package on Toni-Serena. Very very stoked for said bout.

Nothing says "Important business meeting" like Mox with a fanny pack in 2022:

What do wrestlers use Fanny packs for these days? Mox doesn’t juice.
