I got surprise entry ( 2 are going through my head) and Big E, I want Lee to win but i doubt he will.
If E didn’t have the ic belt he’d be the clear favorite imo

Also they are pronouncing "Mustafa" weird

RU wasn’t working. But neither is this.

I thought adding Ali would be a huge boon to make that helpful. But it just hasn’t gone anywhere

And no one wants to watch the Retribution guys wrestle. They just suck.

Ali needs something better.

him and Riccochet going after the tag titles would’ve been fine.

maybe they should do that after riccochet eventually joins

That would make sense. Both of them need direction.

yeah. Wwe has almost no tag team wrestling while aew just kills it there.

I’d rather watch that elite tag team wrestling than 99% of the women’s roster who still can’t wrestle

Outside of the Bliss storyline, nothing in the women's side of things works for me.

becuase they can’t wrestle. It’s a major problem. Natty is a technician but she’s basically just enhancement talent at this point. Apparently she’s working hard behind the scene training these chicks to learn how to wrestle.

For starters, retribution is just a dumb name. A story like that could’ve worked with all the NXT stars they brought up that they essentially squashed. But when you debut wrestlers like and when they take off their hoods and masks and not one person cared. They should’ve been disbanded the next day. You needed a Bo Dallas, a Rowan or Gallows and Anderson. It’s like they had the storyline laid out and had no idea who to put in it until they attacked the ring.

I think it's their play on ANTIFA or some shit.

they like the veiled political alignment thing.

meanwhile you have them mocking conspiracy theorists with Sami

I see the Antifa element but they had backlash on that and named them and took the hoods off pretty quickly.

Even if it wasn’t Antifa it was just dumb because no one knew who they were, and then another nobody Ali became their leader. Jesus do an Antifa group of the NXT guys who came up to the main roster and got buried, that would’ve got over.

Their creative is at an all time low for overall in how to push new guys. The Reigns-Uso-hopefully the Rock is a great storyline and I love the Firefly funhouse. Everything else has sucked, which is no disrespect to Sasha and Bayley but they can’t carry an entire division.

It’s the exact opposite with AEW where they have decent ideas but their talent is terrible.

sasha bayley was ok, but it sucked since the actual turn.

and rewarding Sasha after needing time off to do Hollywood is just laughable in its own right.
