She’s cheering for the rookie, who only does things like snap mares and small packages. Not the grizzled vet who has her whole bag of tricks.

Not so hot take: MJF shouldn't have re-signed. He could be debuting at the Rumble in two weeks in front of 60,000 fans. Over the next two years he'd likely have feuds with Cena, Cody, Punk, Orton, Knight, Sami, Rollins, etc. Instead he's in a feud with Jeff Jarrett, just finished a terrible feud with Adam Cole, and seems to be stale and boring. I don't shit on AEW as a hobby, it's because they don't have a clue and there's at least 10 people on their roster who would instantly be better in WWE. Instantly.
That awful 20 minute Jarrett MJF segment went on about 10-15 minutes too long and made the women's match and the main event both feel rushed to me.
I hate the long promos when WWE does them, and hate them just as much when AEW does them.

I could be in the minority but the Toni Storm amnesia thing is so stupid. I feel my intelligence being insulted every week by being asked to play along.
Looks like the TNA and WWE will continue their agreement.

WWE & TNA Wrestling announce multi-year partnership
WWE part of TKO Group Holdings and TNA Wrestling, one of the world’s top wrestling brands and a subsidiary of Anthem Sports & Entertainment, today announced a multi-year partnership aimed at creating unprecedented crossover opportunities within WWE and TNA programming for NXT Superstars and TNA...
Dave Meltzer's reaction to MJF saying that Jeff Jarrett is the last thing people see before their favorite wrestling promotion dies on last night's AEW Dynamite:
"I heard from many people tonight about that line. I don't know that that line should have been okayed. It's one of those things that like… in the context it was in, it actually didn't bother me. But it bothered enough people that I know to where I think it probably wasn't the greatest idea.
"It wasn't like 'AEW sucks' or 'I wanna leave AEW to go to WWE' - especially this week, boy would that be a terrible thing to put on your own TV. But it was still like… I think the idea is that even though there's like no danger at all of AEW going out of business, maybe never, but certainly not for the next three years. After that, I suppose if they collapse there's a chance. Probably not, but there's always a chance.
"But there's that narrative out there that they're on death's door and they're swirling and all that. And the last thing I would want to do on my TV under any circumstances is to do anything to reinforce the idea that there might be a sliver of truth to that thing that doesn't have a sliver of truth.
"The line wasn't necessary, it wasn't needed, and again, I just don't think you should talk… especially when the company's struggling to sell tickets and pay-per-views aren't through the roof. We don't know what ratings are. I was gonna say ratings aren't the best - I know 18-34 numbers aren't the best, but we don't know the last couple of weeks. But yeah, I just wouldn't do it."
(WOR)
