In this episode, we delve into the growing frustration with Tony Khan’s booking decisions for AEW’s women’s division. We explore why possessing elite talent is insufficient if it is not provided with adequate time, compelling storylines, or consistent development. From emerging stars such as Megan Bayne and Zayda Steel to established figures like Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, and Deonna Purrazzo, this roster is exceptionally talented. Despite this, we question why we continue to receive only one segment per show. Furthermore, we examine the emerging perception that storylines involving Toni Storm or Mercedes Moné receive significantly more attention, build, and storytelling compared to others. Additionally, we address the following points: • Why Willow Nightingale should be a central babyface • The improper utilization of Athena and Billie Starkz • Why Harley Cameron has not been fully utilized • What AEW must change to avoid this becoming a significant missed opportunity This discussion is not rooted in hatred but rather in frustration, as the potential for greatness is readily apparent. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

    EP 169: WWE Feels Lazy… AEW Feels Alive… And That Might Be Why WWE Is Getting Defensive

Use Code SAUCY to get 25% off your order Is WWE getting comfortable… while AEW is heating up again? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the current state of professional wrestling and ask a question many fans are starting to whisper: Is WWE getting lazy with its weekly programming? From predictable formats and corporate-feeling promos to recycled matchups, WWE television lately has started to feel safe, polished… and sometimes uninspired. Meanwhile, AEW feels reinvigorated. The energy is back. The crowds are louder. Storylines are moving. The roster feels motivated again. After a rocky stretch, AEW appears to be rediscovering the identity that made it exciting in the first place. So why has WWE suddenly started expanding so aggressively? Buying smaller promotions… Building global partnerships… Scheduling shows strategically against AEW… Is this simply a dominant company flexing its muscles? Or could it be a sign that WWE sees AEW as a real threat again? We break down: • Why WWE TV feels more formulaic lately • How AEW seems to be regaining momentum • WWE’s strategy of acquiring smaller promotions • Whether WWE is trying to control the wrestling ecosystem • And why the next few years might determine the future of wrestling competition One thing is certain: when wrestling companies compete, the fans usually win. Let’s talk about it.
