#aew women's division

[pepsi-maxwell]

tk deserves SOME credit, it takes some ability to both devalue the aew women's world championship AND disrespect the woman who made that title in an era without live audiences

AEW (for the week of 14/Aug.2k24) #CVReview

Shida v. Mone' was a fantasy match, and though I was tempted to sleep on AEW this week, I opened my eyes and got to see the fantasy come to fruition.

Was it a clinic?

No.

But, Shida was able to do some unprecedented things as a fresh opponent for Mone', such as letting a Meteora practically phase through her as Mone' crashed into the turnbuckle.

I was disappointed to see Mone' not carry the match, leaving the best spot to go to Shida with a jumping knee in the middle of the ring.

I get it though. Mone's in her "cowardly heel" phase, so a surprise win was up for grabs as Britt Baker's music hit and Mone's enforcer beat up some random in the crowd just because dude had a mask on.

Took me back to my first time seeing Slipknot at The Forum. Fuck LAPD. MAGGOT'S 4 LIFE !

Anyways, Baker came from behind off the distraction and got the best of Mone', leaving Mone's enforcer to pull Mone' away from Baker as she attempted to deliver a mandible claw. The segment ended with Baker taunting Mone' with her stolen TBS title, but All In stipulations aside - I dont mind seeing Mone' go on a run with the NJPW Strong title not the TBS title.

This isn't the "2 Belts Banks" days. Wrong promotion. After her time going from WWE to foreign brands the NJPW title just fits her better, and don't let her get her hands on that CMLL title !

I wonder if Baker's glove is velour? I dig the new glove. The material looks (and probably feels) amazing , as is Mone's new outfit. Looks like after that divorce announcement she's back to bearing navel. I dont know what her ex-Polynesian dude might've had against that, but whatever. Mone' came out the ring and I mistook her for Leila Grey. Whatever she's eating these days, someone needs to keep feeding her.

Just as well the highlighted red was out of Grey's closet and should stay on Mone's head because her hair on "Collision" later on in the week made Mone' look like a trannie. Come on I missed the Dynamite match because Nyla Rose was on there, Mone' don't have me checking for an Adam's Apple after all these years ...

The Baker match on "Collision" was pedestrian against Harley Cameron who looked like she was taking inspiration from Virtua Fighter's Sarah Bryant - just DOA style.

The goofiest spot was after the match when Mone's enforcer, Kamille (damn she came a long way from NWA) flexed on Baker and pushed her once into the apron several feet away and waited several moments to bust a kendo stick in half over her knee.

The dramatic pause just looked like Kamille was bracing herself and Baker was obviously holding herself back. Botched promo, just like the rest of the week where Saraya on Rampage cut a promo (with a very annoying cohort) that couldn't even be saved with Toni Storm doing a solo-Benny Hill impression to set up a match between the two next week.

I skipped May's video promo like the Nyla Rose match and went straight to her 90 -seconds - or - less squash match against Londyn Dior. Wasn't even worth observing.

Matches like that is why I get tempted to just watch ROH and call it a week when it comes to AEW's women's division.

[ellejellehell]

lot of doom and gloom lately but AEW's women's division is going hard. Yuka's back, stuff with stardom, a minimum like 3 women's stories counting rampage and integration of women into men's stories. like I want to keep gushing lol

In my opinion the number one thing AEW can do to improve the Women's division

Put her on TV every damn week.

Did you know that the AEW Women's Champion wasn't on the latest episode of Dynamite? Did you know that she wasn't on last week's episode? (and that the amount of women's wrestling on that show was a cool 1 minute 6 seconds (according to cagematch)) Did you know that her only role the week before was as Ruby Soho's second? The same is true of the week before that. Because they had the women's Owen on maybe in AEW's eyes there were enough/too many women's matches on. The week before that she seconded Ruby in match that went 2 minutes and 6 seconds (according to cagematch). The week before, the go home show for Forbidden Door she didn't feature at all. The week before that Toni Storm had her most recent televised match on Dynamite (as of Thursday the 27th of July 2023), a seven minute title defence against Skye Blue. She's been on Collision only once.

And hey if that bit was boring then, good. Good because it shows how far I had to go to find the last time that Toni had a televised AEW singles match. Over a f*cking month. I think the topics I choose are making harder to refrain from swearing in these. Yes this is like technically the second one. I said what I said. And hey that might not be true because I believe she's been on Rampage during that time, I didn't bother to check. I didn't check because I have a suspicion that when I did that whole speech no one stood up and said "Actually you missed this specific episode of Rampage" because, and it feels rude to say but I don't think people care about Rampage that much. But you know who has never fought on Rampage, MJF. You wanna check? I did. In the references section should be a link to a cagmatch search showing every MJF AEW match, none of them occur on Rampage I even combed through the matches from before Rampage began for some reason. I don't know why but I had to be 100% sure.

The reason I bring up Max is that he is the AEW World Champion and Toni is the AEW Women's World Champion. And while theoretically those belts should be on an equal standing the women's belt is lesser, for no other reason than that the company presents it as such. I could now use maths to tell you the amount of TV time each has had since Toni become champion. But I don't need to because You and I probably can't remember much that Toni has done on TV since winning the belt because it's not much. Theoretically Toni should be presented as as much of a star as MJF is, and she's not even presented as being on the same level as FTW Champion Jack Jungle Perry Boy.

So the biggest change I would make to AEW's women's division is to prominently feature their f*cking champion. Call me a bloody booking genius. This is an elementary concept of give your champion TV time (especially more than Britt why do I see Britt more than Toni why has Britt been more protected than every champion since she lost the belt?) and make your champion a centre point for the division and make them a star.

Also you know what I saw when wading through AEW shows looking for Toni? Loads of talented women in dark matches. No I don't mean matches on AEW Dark just regular dark matches seen only by the live crowd. Riho and Nyla Rose and Emi Sakura and Abadon and Mei Suruga. They are hiding these women in dark matches. Mei Suruga has only ever had dark matches and matches on YouTube in AEW. That to me, a ChoccoPro fan, is really sad because they have this amazing talent but they won't use her because have they're weekly women's match booked so they don't need anything else. (Also the irony of me complaining that AEW only ever featured Mei on YouTube is not lost on me.)

In conclusion I want AEW to be better but we're still waiting, and we shouldn't be. So give Impact a go. Or become a Joshi fan, you're immediate thought on that will most likely be Stardom and they're great but TJPW (Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling) is also a great shout. They are incredible and they have English commentary if you want it.

This has been Undisputed Queer-a.

Slay The System, Shock The Cis-tem, and see you Monday this was out of schedule but I really wanted to talk about it. Shout out to Toni 'The Bicon' Storm.

We love to see a women's main event

TK WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN WHEN THIS IS WHAT THEY BE DOING

"And I kept on watching the women’s division and my dreams just became so much bigger and brighter and I knew instantly, I wanted AEW to be my home.” - Mercedes Mone

[miserablecreachur]

If anyone wants to toss me some prompts or something, my inbox is open and anon is available. AEW stuff only, please. Would prefer elite flavoured ;___; or even women's division maybe? Please no reader stuff.

I can't promise I'll get anything done tonight or tomorrow but something to focus on would be nice.

my AO3 is here if you want a sample of my works!

[astoriachef]

Is is just me, or are there no more factions in the AEW women’s division? The Outcasts are just two people now. Julia and Skye broke up, so did Willow and Stat, so did Hayter and Baker. Marina dumped Nyla to join the (none of them are from) Blackpool Combat Club, and Am I missing somebody?

nyway…

So how about making Forbidden Door 2025 a women-centric PPV, and start the build two months out with an invasion angle featuring HATE?Odeo Tai? With no real factions (unless I’m forgetting somebody), they could play the AEW women against each other. Maybe Hikaru Shida is a double agent? Maybe Mina Shirakawa reunites Toni Storm and Mariah May to save the day?

Thoughts?

I love how Saraya's like women's division come out and 5 people come out and it's like ya that tracks
