Nah.
I don't buy it. I won't buy it. I can't buy it. My brain refuses to accept Roxanne Perez as this unbeatable champion. Every time I see her in the ring, all I can think is, "Why is this pipsqueak allowed to dominate every opponent she's in the ring with?" None of her offense even looks believable, not a single move; She's like a dark haired Alexa Bliss. Like, at least Thea Hail has the kimura.
And then they had Lola Vice go over a bunch of wrestlers I like way better than Lola Vice, just for the payoff to be for her to lay down for Roxanne? Man, I need Giulia to wreck this girl's s***.

My brain and your brain would struggle to co-exist in a strictly wrestling-based universe. I actually am loving Roxanne as champion. I think the issue is that Trips and management don't really see anyone who is quite ready to take her spot. While I will agree that the list of potential candidates is pretty darn strong, I just don't think they're ready to pull the trigger just yet, and I tend to agree with them.
Roxanne's time will be up, but only when the time is right. Right now? The time ain't quite right.

Windham is throwing one helluva party up there for his brother, I am telling you that much. A party that is full of smiles, laughter, and pure joy and elation.
Taylor is taking this "World Series Game 7, Bottom of the 9th inning, scoreless game, bases loaded, 3-3 count" opportunity, and is knocking it way the hell out of the park for a walk-off 4-run 4-bagger to bring it all home.
Actually, he may have already done that during his return a few weeks ago, and what we're now witnessing is the clubhouse celebration.

I'm pretty sure they really wanted Vaquer (if it's true Mercedes has creative control and they jobbed her probably not the way to spur a signing though), given how WWE treats tag talent I was a lot more surprised about MCMG but then again when AEW worked with TNA they buried TNA across the board while WWE has made TNA talent look like stars and even fed Tatum Paxley to JG.
I enjoy AEW but it doesn't seem like a place for hungry talent to shine, it's a payday for misused talent but unfortunately most of them get 2-3 weeks of shine and that's it. Save Swerve and Toni Storm and I guess Moxley who wanted to be a garbage wrestler and MJF who will probably cover up that dumb tattoo and go to WWE in a few years and get millions when he inks over it on instagram or tiktok, its just become rudderless fantasy booking.
