It's Time for AEW to Introduce Women's Tag Team Titles

AEW has hinted at introducing women's tag team titles for years, but now is the time for Tony Khan to make the move. Currently, the combined AEW and ROH rosters equals about 40 different women. Granted, a lot of the women on the roster page are pregnant, out on maternity leave Ruby Soho), aren't wrestlers (Mother Wayne, Karen Jarrett), haven't been seen in ages (Madison Rayne, Riho, Nyla Rose) or are injured (Harley Cameron). Still, it's impossible to feature all of them every week on TV.  Women's tag matches happen quite frequently already, but titles would give those matches at least a little more purpose. So, why now? Well, beyond the stacked roster, there are multiple free agents available to sign. For example: Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter were just released by WWE Gigi Dolin and Shotzi Blackheart were also released by WWE Jakara Jackson was released (and has experience in a tag team) Isla Dawn was released (and has experience in a tag team) Sonya Deville w...

My 2023 Royal Rumble Wish List

Surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble are always one of the highlights of that event. Sometimes, WWE management lets the fans down by failing miserably at the booking. 2020, in particular, was an awful year for the men's Royal Rumble. Edge was the big surprise return, and that was definitely awesome, but no other surprises (big or small) happened in that match. I'm not entirely sure what will happen at this year's Royal Rumble. It's the first Rumble under Triple H's management (assuming that Vince McMahon doesn't regain creative control before then). Really, anything could happen. I'm assuming Shane McMahon won't be an entrant or involved in any of the planning, but Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, The Rock, or John Cena could all show up. I'm assuming Cody Rhodes returns, but that's more of an expected surprise. I would honestly not mind if he didn't take part in the Rumble and showed up the following night on Raw, or a few days later on Smackdown, t...

The Best Options to Replace Mandy Rose in Toxic Attraction

There hasn't been a day that's gone by in the past couple of weeks that Mandy Rose hasn't made news on the pro wrestling news websites. Ever since she was released, apparently due to the explicit content on her FanTime page, people have been reacting, speculating, weighing in, and taking sides. My thoughts on the matter: I liked Mandy. She was always OK, but was never involved in anything I was excited about. Her feud with Sonya was good, her relationship with Otis was fun, her alliance with Paige was a good way to debut, and the best part of her tag team with Dana Brooke was Asuka naming the duo her, "Sexy Muscle Friends." I think her work with Toxic Attraction is a little overrated, but she did manage to reinvent herself and made names out of Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne along the way. While Mandy certainly improved in NXT, I wouldn't say she affects the women's division in NXT, or in WWE, in any significant way. NXT has half a dozen (or more) women there w...

My 2022 Royal Rumble Wish List

It's that time of year again. Yes, it's almost time to point at the Wrestlemania sign ad nauseam. Unfortunately that is actually a fact, but what I'm looking forward to is the usually exciting, sometimes career-making Royal Rumble match ... hopefully with some jaw-dropping surprises. It's those surprises that I really look forward to. After two decades of booking the Rumble, WWE producers and matchmakers now realize the importance of surprise returns and Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the match. However, they don't always live up to my expectations. Granted, my expectations can sometimes be too high, but usually WWE just falls short on things that they should've and could've booked. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I have a full list of expectations this year. I, like some of the Internet Wrestling Community, am a little upset that WWE ruined some of the surprise entrants in the women's rumble this year. Summer Rae isn't someone I was an...
