Y'all know Charlotte is not losing again lol

I think she is, her and Bianca headed for a one on one feud. Bianca goes full heel at Summerslam and Charlotte get the hell beat out of her

Charlotte that bitch but nah. She know what she got to do and the fact Bianca is doing it with her makes it easier for her. Lol

As long as all roads lead to Bianca vs Rhea at WM...I don't care.

We'll probably get Rhea vs Raquel/Becky b4 then. But I don’t want to see Becky as champ anytime soon. Auska gets the pass b/c Auska deserves a better title reign.

 

[Chi-Town B]

I don't wanna see Bianca in another Mania title match for a few years

Below are various news bits related to AEW.

On Sunday, Kenny Omega responded to comments on Twitter regarding updates to AEW Fight Forever. Omega said the game will receive continued support.

Omega wrote:

As someone who plays a ton of fighting games and FPS, I’ll always encourage fixes and rebalancing when situations like these turn up. There will be continued support for the game so all this feedback and suggestions are great! Thank you!

AEW: Fight Forever currently has a 6 out of 10 rating on IGN.

Granden Goetzman was removed from AEW's roster page recently. The former MLB player had been performing as Trench in Swerve Strickland's Mogual Affiliates faction. The group debuted in December but Strickland would merge them with Prince Nana's Embassy in April and Trench and Parker Boudreaux disappeared from television. It was reported last month that both Boudreaux and Trench were dealing with injuries. Trench never did make his in-ring debut with the company. He had been training with Jay Lethal earlier this year. PWInsider is reporting that Trench's contract expired and was not renewed.

AEW programming will once again air in Mexico beginning this week. Dynamite and Collision will stream on the Vix streaming service.

Auska needs a big W in that triple threat.

no no no.... don't get me wrong Asuka is great in ring w/o a doubt... but she's closer to the end of her career age wise... Bianca should go over & they should set up a Bianca/ Charlotte 1 on 1 after Summerslam.

Bianca as champ again? No

We just got pass a year long Bianca reign, no need to go back to another so soon

smh @ niggas not wanting to see someone black on top.

i'm not saying she has to have another long reign but to be fair & honest Asuka now is a temporary beltholder at best..... nobody wants to see Charlotte touch the belt again.

 

[Agent_Ro]

smh @ niggas not wanting to see someone black on top.

Because she was champ for almost a year and and half, genius. She doesn’t need the title again this year

And who cares if Asuka is over 40? LA Knight is 40 and is as popular as ever. Age doesn’t matter as much

Charlotte don't need it either but it's women that can be plugged in the title scene while Bianca and Charlotte are away from it in their feud.

but you will cheer for a Samoan 1000 plus day title reign.

Ah yes let me bring race into the conversation because I made comments like:

“Biracial Banks” or “Wigger Lyons”


Is that about it?

FYI Romans entire reign has been more entertaining but Bianca’s last few months as champion were kind of dull

There's no difference, both their reigns got stale but only one was ended

 

[Agent_Ro]

There's a big difference, the end of Biancas reigns got stale and deserved to be ended
