I don't think Ronda would be the Full Gear signing, it would make no sense to hype up an important signing only to spoil it by starting a storyline featuring the surprise outside of your main show.
Also, Samoa Joe was just there, but how many episodes of ROH TV did he appear on (outside of PPV) in his 500+ day reign? Same for MJF? It's all very well carrying the belts but if they're not on the actual products, the belts become accessories to the wrestler rather than them legitimising the ROH product.
I'm not here to trash AEW/ROH. I just think that while there may be more discussion of it, the ROH product itself has lost the charm and prestige it once had.
