Riho carries that huge ass pipe too.

Hayter is on All Access, does she get a lot of screen time. I might have to check the first episode out just for her.

Not really, I only remember her being present while Britt and Toni gossip about Thunder Rosa because TK decided to keep the title on her in November.

I'm still not seeing how that's Thunder's fault @x-Zero. She declared her absence the same night Punk did. Remember TK made a big song and dance that Thunder didn't deserve to do it in the ring due to ratings?

Yet he excuses the rest of his booking...

Let me say it again, I'm glad TK has bank-rolled AEW and has signed so many talented prospects. However while the company wouldn't exist without him, he's also easily it's biggest problem.

The slightly her fault is purely my own speculation. She was very vague about what exactly was wrong with her with the public. If she wants to keep her business personal no problem with it. But I am guessing she was the same way with Tony and he just went with it. So he probably trying to respect her privacy let her continue holding the title without any type of time table.

According to AEW.com Riho is 5-0 in 2023.

She didn't even padded that record either. She beat two former world champions, her teacher, and the first tag team tournament winner twice.

I mean she knew well enough that she had to take some time off, any other promoter would have had her vacate the title. Instead because Tony loved the Wrestlemania X idea so much he did it three more times and everybody HATED it. To the point where his star signing had to wrestle before he was cleared simply so Mox could have his reign redeemed.

I'm sure there's other reasons to dislike Rosa, but the interim reign is all on Tony.

People got mad at Rosa for two main reasons.  First was she went to the dirt sheets, then released videos, complaining about how she was bullied by Britt, Rebell, Jamie and others saying it was destroying her mental health.

Then she got hurt and was too too hurt to to show up the AEW shows to do non-wrestling stuff but then doing wrestling seminars, where people traditionally get in the ring and show off things.

Once thing is definitely clear, Rosa fits into to AEW as much as Punk does now, and likely should be looking for work elsewhere.  Tony could have forced that segment to be cut too, but he did not, so this does kind of show where he sees her on the roster.  She may be doing commentary, but she is even backstage at the shows proper right now.

All the problems with Rosa also started after she told she would drop the belt to Toni at the end of their program. That was when the bullying was reported, then before the Rosa match she claimed she was too injured to even get out of bed, but shortly after did some signing.

Great to see Adam Cole back in the ring. Danielson attacking Omega was savage. The BCC are jerks. I enjoyed The Guns' promo.
