I'd probably enjoy Toni a lot more if she wasn't champ. It just leans a lot harder into the whole "one match division" thing. "Oh, your character is suddenly interesting now? TITLE PICTURE!" A storyline involving women can be interesting even if there isn't a championship involved. Unless it's in AEW, apparently.

I really don't know if it's TK's booking or if it's the network, but I'm tired of the ability to watch most of the women signed to AEW being locked behind a $9.99/mo pay wall. And if the current situation with RoH's next ppv is anything to go on, that might not be an option for much longer.

Rant over. 😅

HARD agree. A great gimmick doesn't need a belt; It draws people in on its own.

And Tony's booking is just so weird when it comes to women. Remember the Outcasts versus Britt/AEW OG's story? That could've been pretty interesting but nope! It was dropped pretty fucking quickly with almost no resolution. It wouldn't have been the best story ever but at least it's a storyline that would've allowed them to feature more women regularly. Maybe even led to a women's Blood & Guts match. But nope. The whole thing just seemed to vanish.

I agree but Devils advocate, I think a good portion of the women's division has been out for various reasons.

Nyla, Marina, and Taya may be the only available women that haven't had matches recently

Britt had the back injury and Cole
Hayter is injured
Red Velvet just recently returned
Riho just recently returned
Deeb has been out injured
Statlander returned and replaced Jade

I guess we could've had more Mercerdes, Diamante and Kiera
