I just looked up The Mandolorian and she was in it for 2 random episodes? The way people always talk around her I seriously thought she was a secondary main character. lmfao. Yeah there's no reason to think that would lead to anything. Punk is much bigger than Sasha and is good in his role on Mayans but I doubt Hollywood is breaking down his door to offer him big roles. If that's her backup plan good luck to her.

And yeah, people keep saying any wrestling company would hire her, but who? Aside from AEW who else is going to pay her what she would want?

drat dude we gotta get you in touch with her. sounds like she needs a mentor.

It’s ok for Vince to make you travel for weeks on end stringing you along in hopes of TV time. But the moment an “independent contractor” says gently caress off and walks it’s a bad thing that needs to be called out on national tv for.

I think they basically outed themselves as not liking Sasha so they probably wouldn't be a good mentor for her, giving her all kinds of bad advice and whatnot

You'd have to be insane to think there's a pro wrestling company out there that wouldn't jump to sign Sasha Banks the second her 90 days are up.

I don't think Big Japan would want to sign her.

WWE letting Sasha go despite her being one of the few people on the roster who actually boosts ratings (or so I've heard, I'm not looking into ratings like that) is very funny. And if she does leave obviously she's going to AEW & is instantly the standout star as well as one of the top workers.

She should do a 6-12 month Japan tour before that but it won't happen.

Let's say Tony is interested in Sasha and Naomi (of couse he is he'd be dumb not to negotiate). You think this would cause them to have AEW Women's Tag Team titles? I would see that being the case. Make a big tourney or do some angle where they claim to be this division's tag champs and dare any teams to challenge them. Not sure if an angle like that could work, I'm just throwing stuff out there.

I'd hazard a guess that AEW Women's Tag Team titles have already been made.

They have several on Dark and Elevation :v:

Also I'd say that given the number of high-profile women's division workers that have just up and walked out on/quit WWE recently due to bad booking ideas, AEW is still handling its women's division far better than WWE is handling theirs

Y'know, I was always kinda skeptical about the notion that Steph had any kind of positive influence on the women's division, but with the direction new NXT is headed in and the fact that she's left, maybe...?

Either that or Hunter had more respect for women than you woulda guessed

To be fair DoN is shaping up to be 6 hours long so it's just maintaining the normal ratio of matches

Elephant Ambush posted:

AEW doesn't need women's tag titles, and as WWE has shown, just because more titles exist doesn't guarantee more meaningful airtime for the women. Creating tag titles without a strong plan in place to ensure they're consistently featured on TV would be a pretty big mistake, and I think building a women's tag team division more or less from scratch would be difficult for anyone, let alone a company that's had struggles building a women's singles division

That being said: If a Sasha-level star comes to you and says "I'll sign if you do women's tag titles" then you do what they ask and you bust your rear end to make it a legit part of your TV show

Especially since we're getting Trios titles and there's a whole slate of ROH titles currently being defended on TV.

But I do think having tag titles would be nice, and having some of the unused women be in the tag division would be good for the development.

AEW debuting Sasha and Naomi to win a tournament for new Tag Titles would be the funniest thing, so I definitely hope it happens. Especially if they could somehow make it happen while whatever tournament WWE throws together is still happening or just ended.

The solution to unused women is not always to throw another title in the mix for them to fight over. The problem is booking in general, on AEW and WWE's part, where every single feud is this so basic and a boring champion vs challenger story. Where the challenger loses and they go to the back of the line.

You need like six people that seem on the same level and could all viably win the title during any title match. Think 1999 when we had Mankind, Rock, Austin, Undertaker, Big Show, and Triple H in the world title scene. Or the Smackdown Six.

You get into these situations now where the people have been booked so horribly you just don't care about them anymore. They're not winning, and if they do it doesn't matter.

Anyway... just realized that with Charlotte, Sasha, and Naomi gone, Smackdown is down to 1 Champion and 6 Challenges. And they all look like jokes.

Counterpoint: Champion vs. Challenger works just fine for puro promotions. I just care about good matches for the most part.

Sasha has talked a bunch about wanting to wrestle in Japan before and she was training with Sendai Girls like three years ago. I think a Japan tour seems pretty likely for her.
