Well that's twice now she has rightly identified the women's tag title as being treated like an absolute joke so I can't say I blame her.

I absolutely love WWE apologising in their statement for not being able to deliver the advertised main event as well, as if they don't advertise one thing and do another on the reg.
Don't work yourself into a shoot, brothers.
WWEs statement is everything I hate about them currently. There were a million ways you could have handled that within kayfabe and without being cunts for the sake of it. Never has a company with so much money been so petty about everything.
The weird statement reads as if Vince Russo is back with the company on the quiet.
The last two times I've sought out an episode of Raw (I'm not mad I just wanted to see the quite excellent lie detector angle) they started the show without having a main event booked anyway so this does seem somewhat petty. None of it is a shock though, they haven't cared about tag titles for decades at this point.
I just go by "are Fightful reporting it like it's not a work?" and they are.
Naomi's mate has clarified a lot of the details and, if they're to be believed, it was just WWE being cunts. Not shocked.
Sasha will surely be gone soon, and Naomi can forget about joining the Bloodline.
I'm not a Japanese wrestling guy buyt Hangman vs whoever this guy is is incredible.
Konosuke Takeshita, there was a really lovely delayed suplex at one point.
He's amazing. I'm a convert over all this chop dogshit they've been inviting in recently.
I'm glad Takeshita went down well. He puts on some incredible matches in DDT.
LA Knight is now "Max Dupri" because apparently they really screwed the pooch when they named him a whole year ago. The vitriol for anything that was on Black & Gold NXT is real.
Also Ricochet vs. Walter could be good if WWE just give them some time to have a good match. O'Shea is definitely getting splattered and it's a pity they don't care about the IC title but getting one nice thing out of it would be alright.
Seems as though whatever plan Banks and Naomi had, hasn't worked. Next to zero support from the locker room and now stripped of the belts and suspended.
I seen Michael Cole speaking about it last night. It’s scripted, isn’t it?
The more vocal WWE is about it the more I think it's a work.
Right now I fully expect two masked women to win the tournament before revealing themselves to be Banks and Naomi.
They did it when Austin fucked off and that wasn't a work. All it takes is for it to have annoyed Vince enough. I'm not saying it's 100% not a work but I don't think WWE talking about it says much. Them actively sending Fightful a statement when often they'll blank a request for one is odd but given a couple of versions of the story involve them basically saying half the womens division doesn't matter they could have just been trying to get ahead of it.
if they had no real competition they'd probably have sacked Banks off by now but there's no way they want Khan signing her.
Speaking of I saw Big Damo was on Rampage. Their roster is a bloated mess.
A one off appearance, he's not signed with AEW.
Is Miro/Rusev still there or injured or anything? They finally seemed to present him right and then I don't remember the last time I saw him
He was injured I think, and has also been doing some acting stuff. I do like that they have enough people to rotate but they're still trying to do too much with their 2 hours a week.
So long as MJF continues to be a mainstay, I’ll watch.
Did I post about my custom AEW T-shirt by the way? Arrived the other day:
I'm a twit
Where was it from?
Got it made by someone on Reddit and then printed it on a T-shirt using StickerMule when they had a promo on for £8 T-shirts.
The dream is front row at Dynamite at Craven Cottage with it on.

Someone just showed me the end of Becky Vs Asuka. How are 2 women on that level producing the shittiest ending I've seen in years?
Are you looking for a deeper answer than "because WWE don't care about anybody who isn't Reigns*"?
* And especially not a wimmin, but that goes without saying.
Assuming you don't mean it wasn't just terrible booking but it was also terribly executed of course, because yeah if it was that then that is odd for those two.
I honestly don't even know where to start with that. Surely it can't have been booked that way? Everything about it is shambolic, right down to the referee blatantly speeding up his count 500% to get to 9 on the fake count out.

Look what happens one week after Stephanie McMahon leaves her womens wrestling to someone else.
Yeah that's all pretty grim.
Still, got to love WWE having their two title challengers lose to each other in the build up to the title match.
Robbie Eagles vs El Phantasmo from BOSJ earlier today is well worth 30 minutes of anyone’s time.
Big fan of DMD (doing anything really, she’s amazing) wearing a Captain Jack Sparrow T-shirt on Rampage.

Dirty Mouth Doctor.
Speaking of phwoar, another of my Instagram timeline turning up in AEW. First Kiera Hogan and nowEmber MoonAthena.

He's very good. Just another WWE missed opportunity.
He would keep putting on bangers on 205 Live. Same for Mustafa Ali.
That show was such an underrated gem in its prime
That Quizzlemania lineup.....
They're are basically the usual Quizzlemania lot, but as their characters from another series on the channel. The CBW series is brilliant though so it could be great.
I can't even see the announcement but based on what you've said that has the potential to get pretty old real fast.
In trying to find that I did see this. Started as this Jake Shields bod saying he's already sick of Pride month.
Yeah that's kinda my fear. We'll see.
If you haven't watched the CBW series I would highly recommend it. Better storytelling than any wrestling company has had in decades.
How it'll translate to Quizzlemania I have no idea.
Yeah I've watched CBW. I like it well enough.
The highlight is obviously getting Laurie back for Quizzlemania for the first since (I think?) since he did it from the shitter.
I counted 7 seperate run ins in the Jade Cargill v Anna Jay match. A gang warzzzzzz spectacular.
I’ve heard the 10 man match is excellent?
