i think njpw more the kind of company that care about the matches happening, i dont think they care much about "her first match outside of wwe" but mb they do

I think first appearance should be good enough.

Plus, then and AEW have a relationship. Doubt they’d nix an arrangement there. That would spur things for both AEW and Mercedes.

 

[Smart Marx]

free agent bayley would rule. im sure she is happy tho. but maybe she wants a new challenge

WWE is treating her pretty well. Especially once Trips took over. He was always high on her.

yeah it would be different if the promotions were at odds or in direct competition which is obviously not the case with Kenny litereally just going over and FTR doing the job

I think the bigger travesty was it not being billed higher on the card, especially with Mercedes debuting. Wasn't it like 3rd Match main card?

Second even I think. Plus, the match was only 5 minutes.

I’m perfectly happy with the Mercedes debut. That was the bigger draw for me, but they definitely could have given the match a bit more.

I’m wondering if Sasha wanted to go home early.

Exactly. Omega not only over but their new US champ.

Sasha being on AEW tv only hypes her PPV more especially considering her match debut is for their us branch.

Uh idk. Not really. Damage CRTL has been booked kinda poorly, at least imo. It’s got a little better. But might just be me who feels like that.

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, I was surprised how early it was. The other thing I’m thinking is the wanted it early since women in the dome is a new concept and they didn’t want it to be on later in case it fell flat.

BTW the Junior tags opened and that was really good too. First time seeing the Akira kid and his tag team with TJP. Solid team chemistry and they have some great team moves. I’m a fan already.

I mean aren’t Kai and Sky the tag team champions?

Plus, leading a stable is in of itself a huge honor in WWE. They don’t do as many as AEW/NJPW do.
