The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 49 by AverageMansReview

Just a heads up: I am not best happy with both promotions and full disclosure I am behind on watching AEW TV content, just based on time meaning I can either create content or watch content but I vaguely understand what is going on and to be brutally honest I will be frank, but safely frank.

Let the dress down begin: I am absolutely fed up to my back teeth of remembering this thing called The Woman's Revolution roughly over halfway of 2015, where they said I am generalising here things were going to change and yes they did for a little while we were having women main event pay-per-views on the main roster. But you had cynical old people like me that knew this company very well from roughly the mid-to late 1980's and beyond that knew that this was a publicity stunt and yes obviously I took no joy from being right, in actual fact it infuriated me more, because I knew what was coming next the slow decline of this goodwill [meaning giving their fan base what they want] from the WWE.

Let's do a massive fast-forward to Thursday 03/08/2023 we are days away from SummerSlam 2023 Saturday 05/08/2023; we don't have Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus [with Zoe Starks] or the WWE World Woman's Champion The Judgement Day's Rhea Ripley in any official match capacity and let's not forget Ripley is meant to be getting compared to the highest level such as the level of Chyna. My point here is not aimed at Ripley in the slightest it is 100% aimed at the hierarchy of the WWE.

But for some strange reason and yes I know it has to do with making money a Battle Royal sponsored by Slim Jim's and I am also aware of it just gets names on the card such as LA Knight, but if I had my way I would scrap this and give this slot to Lynch and Stratus, just because in this one match you have two women that in their own generations have established themselves as a cornerstone of their previous or present divisions and it is massively disrespectful in fact I have just thought of a perfect match; these two legends take on one another at this event in a lumberjills match that will get women on the card in some capacity and you could build off new feuds from this match slot and yes just for the record if I couldn't scrap this match slot I would just add one more to the card, because it is easily big enough that everyone wants to see it at a Premium Live Event and I would want to show my women's roster respect.

The biggest reason why I have created this content was; I have been verbal about supporting the women's roster and so far I have had two people questioning my support to the point where I am paraphrasing here one wanted me to justify why Knight and others deserved to be left off this card and the other had the strangest notion that in a nutshell two matches for female wrestlers was progression keeping in mind there is eight slots and of course this individual made reference to back when females were headlining pay-per-views and blaming the fan base and not the WWE hierarchy, I should now point out that yes everyone is entitled to their opinion. But at the same time these mindsets are spread out of Mr McMahon's playbook, where they would rather twisted things and put the blame somewhere else rather than on the person/people that hold all the cards.

When it is 2023 depending on the size of the card we should have two, three or even four matches on the card so for an example as we have a bigger card to work with it should have been three or maybe next year four but for now three matches on this card end of story.

To be brutally honest; I don't see why the female wrestlers including people like myself have to work so fudging hard to defend my opinion, the women's wrestlers and what they clearly live for. I mean I would partially understand it if we were back when Trish and Lita started out, because back then and I mean no disrespect to anyone you only had may be a handful of wrestlers that could wrestle with in the WWF/E, mixed with some that were basic wrestlers mixed with women that were clearly not wrestling savvy even though they tried or of course you have a few that should have never thought about wrestling [ even in the infancy stages of NXT - the competition game show era which any self-respecting WWE fan doesn't talk about, but I digress.] But that is clearly not the case in 2023 I mean this in a positive way; for some strange reason NXT have a conveyor belt of female wrestlers that can wrestle they just need like the males also just more polishing, if I was the women in NXT I would stay there for as long as possible, at least you get screen time and you can wrestle, well it is better than either being stuck in catering or let's not forget to take into consideration the possibility of some names being injured which in fairness and balance can't be helped or here is a great idea give the females on the main rosters more screen time including match time.

I mean unless they are injured; in basic summary [it is still going to be quite a lot anyway, but simplified] and yes I don't care about the brand split or who is where, actually I don't know and I still don't care. But I digress again I would put Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn in this feud against Nikki Cross & Piper Niven, where after two months of them pushing each other to their limits we get to the point of having one match where if Cross & Niven win Fyre & Dawn will leave this tag team alone. But if Fyre & Dawn win Cross & Niven has to join them and become a group of four. Obviously they lose this match and at first Cross & Niven rebel against being a part of this group, but over time Fyre & Dawn encourage them to let go and embrace their full potential, which eventually they do on a big stage of a Premium Live Event laying waste to anyone that stands before them, eventually calling themselves "The Sisters of M" at first they go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships which they win, months go past a babyfaces comes up with the idea to set up a match between these this group for them to go head-to-head for these Tag Team Championships which we have this match and regardless of the result this group are still united as long as these championships are in this group that is all what matters, months go past they eventually lose their championships in a ladder match.

They mysteriously disappear from TV for three months and after a Premium Live Event, they suddenly slowly begin making their presence felt either in creepy vignettes talking of an old challenge or maybe going after a new challenge, everyone thinking that they may go for individual championships which partially this would not be a bad idea to keep the plate spinning smokescreen for their real purpose and that is to find their champion, meanwhile creepy things begin to happen to the male wrestlers, like little messages on a mirror for telling off their future, ideally eventually I would like to choose Drew McIntyre [if he was still with the company at this time.]

Yes by the way I am lifting this idea from William Shakespeare's Macbeth[a.k.a. the Scottish play] hence why I chose everyone that comes from Scotland, I know there is only three witches in Macbeth, but I wanted to make things more interesting in the earlier stages of this feud/beginning of this group and yes in England Theatre you never say so Macbeth, it is considered bad luck so hence why I just went with M. But if McIntyre is not in the WWE at this time I would take at minimum anyone from Scotland, England, Wales or Ireland. Where they promised this individual if you listen to us we can guide you to riches, this is where it would be really useful if they brought back King/Queen of the Ring in particular King, so whomever this individual is he wins King of the Ring. I think that is enough, I mean there is roughly about without being arrogant about maybe over two years worth of material there and that is how you use up to five wrestlers.

Just to finish off here if I had to choose a new wrestler to work with which was at minimum British it would have to be Bailey Matthews, I haven't seen him wrestle for a long time since NXT UK, but I know he has IT and when he becomes King I would like his father William Regal [King of the Ring winner of 2008] to be the master of ceremonies/voice piece/wise man.

Additional: as I was just finishing up this content it has been coming over on a social media platform Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus [with Zoe Starks] was removed from SummerSlam due to time restraints, basically not having enough time. This is firstly absolutely garbage and secondly this is easily remedied as I have already referenced off you go Battle Royal or if I couldn't Ricochet vs. Logan Paul; Singles Match, I know Paul brings a lot of social media attention, but at this point I don't care, it is about doing the right thing. When you have as I have already referenced essentially two legends in their own right, putting in the TV time to make this feud work, you are absolutely fudging right I would put them on over a part timer that has done a little bit of TV time and once again doing the right thing because this is a big pay-per-view there should be at least three matches on an eight match card. I am not having this it is just garbage and what I'm starting to find really amusing with these so-called wrestling fans that are defending the WWE over this decision. I bet some of you were the same people that were behind these hash tags [insert name] deserves better. I know as I have also said everyone is entitled to their opinion, but come on when it comes down to the crunch where are you? Now back to your regular scheduled content.

All Elite Wrestling: well as far as I am concerned this is déjà vu again where AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2022 and roughly around this time the women were not getting much of a look in, because Tony Kahn was prioritising this event over the women, which for the first time it isn't acceptable and I am not condoning it, but it is one of those things that for the first time/once people may say okay fair enough, hopefully this will never be repeated again and we need to learn better for the following years, okay lessons learnt or are you would like to think so.

Now I do like this company, but even I can't sugarcoat this or/and am not turning against this company, but your women's roster deserves better.

Yes I did say that this wrestling promotion would need 10 years, to see how things would turn out and we are just on the fourth year, but it doesn't give this promotion/company the time to either go back within its progression. Even though I haven't watched the up-to-date content yet, I am already getting the feeling from online that yet again if something bigger comes around the corner like Forbidden Door or AEW All In [Sunday 27/08/2023] or/and then AEW All Out [Sunday 03/09/2023,] hopefully the women's division doesn't take too far of a back seat, yes I expect there to be good matches on this cards, but when I say it a back seat I am also including screen time to build up to their big matches.

We are now at the point with the AEW women's roster where generally speaking they aren't so green roughly four years later if they are still with the promotion obviously, Khan is lucky to have a relatively young division that is very hungry to just go out and wrestle and even though I am not behind the scenes, maybe it is about time to delegate some of the workload off to a unit of maybe 20 people spearheaded by someone like an active wrestler/on-screen personality like Madison Rayne [not a consistent on-screen character just used sparingly with an important announcements and to deal with squabbles,] I am trying not to make it into like WWE, I am just trying to give the women's division some kind of structure behind the scenes so that on the screens they can more like AEW is our promotion also, I mean Khan can make weekly appointments to be the overseer to this in this unit or if he is happy with how things are going now and again obviously popping to show any interest and to give praise, but to give the women's roster including the unit space and time to grow and develop.

Moving on slightly to Jade Cargill it has been documented that she may not ever come back to AEW and if it is true. Where the hell do you get off? AEW give you this massive opportunity to show off your talents and for your first run you get given the AEW TBS Championship and you go on the best run of your career. I know she is still young 31 years old and only debuted in early 2021, but this run is going to take some beating and let's be honest if she went anywhere else she wouldn't be given the same level of treatment. Don't get me wrong, this is not coming from a bitter prospective if she leaves, this is coming from the perspective of show AEW some respect and loyalty. Because yes you can wrestle, but your wrestling promo skills could do with some work, let's see what you can do with a different gimmick or/and turn and let's talk about the elephant in the room, the elephant in the room being you are the only woman within AEW that definitely shouldn't be complaining right now as you have been featured all over the place with carrying the AEW TBS Championship.

If she went to the WWE, she would probably be stuck in NXT or WWE main roster, better known as catering, because they have ready-made by their own hands wrestlers that know the WWE way, so I am not disrespecting her it is just someone that has been in wrestling for five minutes, thinks she is all that how about giving AEW another year pay your dos and then head off to Impact, WWE, New Japan Pro wrestling or anywhere you would like.

Moving on to; Dr. Britt Baker, DMD vs. Taya Valkyrie; Singles Match on AEW: Dynamite on 26/07/2023, now I have seen elements of this match and no I'm not going to softball this, instead of going negative on it, which okay it wasn't the best by any stretch of the imagination. But it seems to be a lot about not much, as in yes these are individually and together top female wrestlers, it is just that they had a bad day at the office which coincided in both of them having a bad day at the office.

Which if I was Khan, Baker and Valkyrie I would deliberately set up this feud where in their promos they happen to mention the last time we wrestled it didn't go too well, how about we show up the critics and set up a first blood/no1 contenders match at AEW All Out 2023 for the AEW Women's World Championship at AEW Revolution 2024 and if we're going to go down let's bring the house down with us as well, so by doing this it turns something from a negative into a positive.

Finally; I want to see Jamie Hayter at AEW All In 2023 in some capacity, I know she is injured but she deserves to be there either been on commentary for either this entire pay-per-view or just the women's matches or/and she could be an interviewer just for Baker. She needs to be there because it is the first time that AEW would be coming from England, specifically Wembley. It would probably do her mentally some good to be there in some capacity, at least she could say she was there, it is the right thing to do and lastly but not mainly I want to make that crystal clear, when she comes to sign another contract she will remember or hopefully remember that kindness shown is in when I was injured they still included me in this once-in-a-lifetime/first-time experience of being involved in this massive AEW event taking place in my home country and Wembley nonetheless, I just want to make it crystal clear again this is not my main reasoning for doing this, my main reason for doing this or suggesting this is just based on it is the right thing to do.

In conclusion: women of both promotions deserve much better than what they are currently being given, I can't believe that this is still a big problem in 2023; I wasn't expecting a quick fix. But I was hopeful that things were going to slow progress forward instead of backwards I mean after the first Forbidden Door it look like AEW was slowly getting back on track. To be honest it would be nice in 2024 not to bring this up again or if I do I want to be talking about the progression from both of these promotions. Because if I am here again roughly sometime in 2024 talking about this and everything is basically the same the gloves will be coming off for both companies regardless if it is just roughly five years into a decade in yes I like AEW, but they were founded on being something different to the establishment a.k.a. the WWE so be something different like and I mean this in a positive way be stressed out by quality women's feud/match could we put on this pay-per-view or TV content over this is another feud/match here or another here or another here.
