Five minutes until the start of AEW's women's tag team tournament. Jericho endorsed Nyla & Ariane vs. Taynara & Anna Jay as being really good so let's see if he's full of it!

I just finished watching it.

Jericho did not fib. That match was actually really good.

But first, the opening match was Nightmare Sisters vs. Penelope Ford & Mel. Before this, they explain the Nightmare Sisters being together because Allie just looked in the basket and picked out the same color as Brandi. I'm glad they didn't pretend they happened to get picked together.

Penelope Ford was the standout because she has just improved so much in such a short amount of time. Really surprised by how well she's been improving. Allie rakes Mel's eyes and then Brandi hits a spear for the win. Kind of expected. Kip Sabian was also another standout in this match because it's Kip Sabian.

Then Nyle & Ariane vs. Tay Conti & Anna Jay. Anna Jay came out with the Dark Order and is kind of gothed up but not really? But I'm going to be real: my expectations were low, and they exceeded them a lot. Ariane actually looks like she's done a ton of training. Like, she's legit solid in the ring now. I was stunned considering she was trying to pin people while they were on their front in WWE. Tay Conti has a lot of personality and really got to use her black belt moves to impress. Anna Jay looked the best Anna Jay has ever looked, honestly. I don't know if Nyla is the glue that held it together or what, but all of these girls looked great.

Oh, and they put Veda Scott on commentary, had Medusa come out to introduce the tournament, and Shaul Guerrero is doing the announcing.

Veda Scott did great.

Edit: OH! And Brandi was acting the most heel ever in her post-match promo, but she's really, really not very good at character stuff and I have no faith that it was intentional. But I came across after it being like "Wow, Brandi is a horrible person." Which... I have no idea if it's intentional or not because it's Brandi and that's the best explanation I have.

Like this shit is so heelish.

But

It's Brandi.

So I can't be assured it's intentional.

Just you wait until these segments somehow draw stupidly high numbers and suddenly Asuka and Sasha are fighting for the RAW women's title in a Bra and Panties match.

Other stuff I've heard about Raw.

Montez Ford got dosed or something?

There was a match between Shayna Baszler and Sasha that ended because Asuka attacked Bayley ringside?

Nia Jax is feuding Pat Buck and got suspended indefinitely?

And a box fell?

And the anarchists haven't been revealed. Hey remember when NXT had a group of anarchists that showed up on hoods and face masks?

Yeah, remember how they hyped them up for months and then Vince decided he didn't like it and proceeded to have them all squashed when they debuted?

Like if you ever wanted a microcosm of WWE problems, the final shot featured 4 men and the "youngest" of the group was 44 year old Bobby Lashley.

Not your (relatively well-booked) Babyface Champion Drew McIntyre.

Or even your current double champs Bayley and/or Sasha Banks.

Nope, 3 dudes in their 40's and 1 dude in his 50's, and the 3 dudes spent the entire time beating up no-name people we don't care about.

AND THIS WAS LITERALLY AFTER YOU MADE THEM LOOK LIKE JOKES EARLIER IN THE SHOW.

MVP couldn't beat Apollo Crews.
Shelton Benjamin, even with Lashley and MVP at ringside, couldn't win a no-DQ match to retain his title against fucking Akira Tozawa and R-Truth.

And now ooooooh they're a scary group because they beat up some lame-o's that aren't even named wrestlers. You had Erik and Ivar there earlier. You had Dolph Ziggler. Let them get tossed around to show that they're actually a worthwhile group. How was this your big hook to help with your pitiful 3rd hour numbers?

Like I kept sitting there and waiting for the moment when they'd just beat the shit out of Shane because there's no way Shane is equipped to host this thing week to week but MVP would be perfect for it. Like turning it into a believable fight club where MVP makes money off of it via betting, Lashley is the enforcer/bouncer, and Shelton is the prized fighter who takes of a mixture of no-name jobbers and actual wrestlers week after week. I mean they are literally called "The Hurt Business" i.e. they profit from hurting people. Randomly beating people up makes them the Hurt Charity.

It's like... it's right there. If you insist on making this a thing, fine, but you had a moment where you could have made a reason for it to exist, especially for these 3 characters that really don't need to be a faction.
