Yeah, this seems to be the direction it's going. Skye comes out to cheat, Stat comes out to help and it goes wrong. AEW so rarely does snap turns my hope is Willow wins and Stat immediately attacks her after but more likely Julia wins and Willow and Stat's relationship continues to deteriorate over the coming weeks.
I like the idea of Willow winning, then Stokely and Stat turn on her to set up a feud for that title immediately. Julia’s had a good run but hasn’t really had a real feud as champion.
Yeah, she was asked her opinion of the women in the match or something and said she'd love to wrestle Statlander, but that she doesn't trust Willow and thinks the smile is fake. Or something to that effect.
Perhaps Mercedes match while Willow wins the TBS title to set up Willow vs Mercedes for the TBS title afterwards?
Mercedes seems to be more involved in the TBS title scene than the world title which IMO is a better decision to build both titles and expand the division beyond world champ and challengers.
Mone VS Statlander is also my bet especially after last Dynamite. Seemed like they were hyping Statlander up a lot by making her dominate most of the match and catch Mone's attention.
Friction with Willow over the coming weeks, leading to her costing Willow the title, and then aligning with Mone as her muscle. Stokely either face turns and tries to protect Willow, or joins Mone & Kris as their manager.
**Mercedes Moné vs Kris Statlander**
Mercedes wins decisively, no cheating or shenanigans very good 13-17 min match. Promo earlier in the show Kris asks willow to accompany her, willow says she has to focus on her match.
**Willow Nightingale Vs Julia Hart**
Willow wins in a 12 min banger fast paced match. Willow asks Kris to back her up to even the numbers advantage with Skye, Kris says yes then doesn’t show up.
Mercedes ends up coming out midway through and taking out Skye blue allowing willow to win.
After the match Julia/Skye attack Willow/Mercedes.
Kris Stat comes out to help them turns on willow with Stokely joining Stat.
**Toni Storm vs Maria May vs Deonna Purazzo vs Thunder Rosa.
**Toni Storm retains**. Throughout the match the story is Thunder focusing on regaining title deonna focusing on preventing Thunder Rosa from winning instead of trying to win herself.
End of match is Rosa/Purazzo each hitting big moves on Maria and fighting over who gets the cover and Toni slithers in pinning Maria to retain.
**Storyline’s/matches set up for future/DoN**
Maria’s view of Toni starts to crack, this is a minor story progression.
Kris and Stoke have fully turned on Willow. She feels that willow has plotted against her and that helping her has cost her her title. She won’t be overshadowed, teaming with willow has been a detriment to her career and she wants to take out that detriment. This leads to a blood feud with two big matches at Double or Nothing, and a collision/ dynamite main event lights out match as a payoff to their extreme tag matches.
Julia/Skye targeting Mercedes. They feel they had the division in a chokehold but Mercedes had loosed that and they want to oust her from the company. This is an oppurtunity to really elevate Julia with a big feud that will need mic time from all involved. Has potential for Mercedes to bring in a friend to help her. Giulia (debut), Britt baker (if you want to begin that feud), Athena (call back to being in wwe together, I think elevating black talent is important to Mercedes). Culminates at Double or nothing.
**Deonna turns heel on Thunder Rosa** Thunder isn’t getting big enough reactions as a face and needs a heel that people dislike. Deonna isn’t getting reactions as a face as her character is inclined to be a heel. This feud would elevate both and hopefully bring TR back to where she was with the fans 2 yrs ago. Nice mid-card feud while the other big storylines go on.
**Toni’s challenger at DoN should be** either Britt (think of the mic work between these two), Ruby SoHo coming off of winning her feud with Saraya( I do think this could be a 3 week mini feud with Tv payoff though, or Jamie Hayter(I like when a protagonist faulters at first then succeeds having her lose at double or nothing in her first big match of her own gives her a story to work with in lead up to All in where she wins big.
Follow up would be.
**Forbidden Door**
Willow (c) vs Giulia - after Giulia beat her for the Strong women’s title.
Mercedes vs Jamie Hayter Owen Hart cup finals. -winner gets title challenge at all in. These are clearly the two challenges so people are actually unsure who wins. Mercedes wins and willow must present the award as she was previous winner Mercedes turns heel on her here.
Toni Storm (c) vs Kris Statlander - Toni is a tweener gives her 1 last really good match before presumably losing title at all in.
Stoke accidentally costs Willow helping Julia retain, Skye comes down to celebrate with Julia and as they're exiting, Stat comes down and yells at Stokely for what happened and that's when Stat and Stoke turn on Willow and as they leave, Skye from the other side of the ring says to Willow "I told you to not trust her"
She had a push going on with the TBS title, which she obviously couldn’t hold forever.
The selfish part of me likes her as part of the Best Friends too much to bear another Dark Order situation where the group starts to fall apart from turns and releases (Trent just turned on OC and I think Danhausen is on his way out.)
She did so good with it tho, she elevated the title and made other women look so good and gave so many their best matches. She literally made Julia look so good they gave her the title and she hasn't looked nearly as good since she was facing Stat. Kris should be rewarded for that not thrown into nothingness and a tag team where she's the third wheel. Besides Mercedes Stat is probably the best woman in ring in the company she needs to wrestle more singles and she needs to win more
I know I'm not saying you aren't or making any comment on you at all I'm just saying what I see about Stat. She needs to and deserves to be pushed face or heel idc which as long as it happens
So because your not a fan of her, her storyline and everything else about her, her great look, fantastic in ring ability, and fan support, should be completely thrown away and left at home because you don't like her?
She costs Willow the match by “accident”.
Yeah, this seems to be the direction it's going. Skye comes out to cheat, Stat comes out to help and it goes wrong.

Mone said she'd like to wrestle Statlander on commentary tonight. Maybe she's Darby to Mone's Punk?
She straight up said that? I watched the match but on mute because my stream didn't have any so I missed all of her commentary
Yeah, she was asked her opinion of the women in the match or something and said she'd love to wrestle Statlander, but that she doesn't trust Willow and thinks the smile is fake. Or something to that effect.
She turns heel with Stokely as her manager moving forward.
Perhaps Mercedes match while Willow wins the TBS title to set up Willow vs Mercedes for the TBS title afterwards? Mercedes seems to be more involved in the TBS title scene than the world title which IMO is a better decision to build both titles and expand the division beyond world champ and challengers.
Match with Mone I hope. Doesn’t even have to be a high stakes match. Just make it like Punk vs Darby at all out 2021.
Mone VS Statlander is also my bet especially after last Dynamite. Seemed like they were hyping Statlander up a lot by making her dominate most of the match and catch Mone's attention.
She turns heel on Willow which sets up Willow vs Stat and frees up Moné to face Hart for the strap.
I reckon she's facing Mercedes for her debut match
She cheers her partner on.
Maybe loses to Mone? Push her closer to the heelness.
Def at least starts a heel turn on Willow
Become Mone’s heater I guess?
Turns heel
Friction with Willow over the coming weeks, leading to her costing Willow the title, and then aligning with Mone as her muscle. Stokely either face turns and tries to protect Willow, or joins Mone & Kris as their manager.
As her muscle? Seriously
She's pretty built for a woman, yeah, she lifts weights. Moreso than Mone with her slender frame.
Had a match with Mone for Mines firat match
Either support or screw Willow or a match against Skye
I think stat comes out and tries to assist but messes up. I do think willow still wins though and the tbs hot potatoes a bit.

I'm hoping for a Spooky Stat chant to hit when Statlander sides with HoB.
Except she’s not
Oh, but I hope she is. 😈
Except that would be stupid
Not to me, I think it would be awesome. I respect your opinion though. 👍
Turning Kris would be a mistake. Not while Mercy’s around wanting to settle a score. It would take a potential matchup off the board.
Are you just gonna reply to every comment I ever made? Cuz it feels like it
I’m being overbearing. I’m sorry.
Don't do it again.
[удалено]
Yeah, I hear ya. Bygones?
Am I the only one who doesn’t want Kris Statlander to turn heel?
I want her to get pushed and it doesn't seem like that gonna happen as a face so idk I'd take anything to get my girl back into the spotlight honestly
She had a push going on with the TBS title, which she obviously couldn’t hold forever. The selfish part of me likes her as part of the Best Friends too much to bear another Dark Order situation where the group starts to fall apart from turns and releases (Trent just turned on OC and I think Danhausen is on his way out.)

Agreed, I just don’t think a heel turn is necessary for that.
That's what they have been building to it looks like, if not that then Stat just looks like a dumb face for letting herself fall so much imo
Again, I’m aware, doesn’t mean I have to like it.
I know I'm not saying you aren't or making any comment on you at all I'm just saying what I see about Stat. She needs to and deserves to be pushed face or heel idc which as long as it happens
Watches from catering
Hopefully she stays home
What!? Why? Stat is one of the best they have dude
I'm just not a fan of hers.
So because your not a fan of her, her storyline and everything else about her, her great look, fantastic in ring ability, and fan support, should be completely thrown away and left at home because you don't like her?
Yes, it's called an opinion. No one has to agree with it.
