Yes.. Triple H broke into Orton's home and you didn't see Orton drinking Hunter's blood in their Wrestlemania match lol. It just feels like they are trying too hard when they don't need to.

Also I worry about AEW losing sponsors and such because it's 2023 and no company wants to be associated with that. TK is literally showing why WWE maintains the PG rating, so they don't lose money.

I thought Adam Cole was going to put the Dynamite Ring on Jay White's finger when White flipped him off lol. So.. no hints about the Devil after the match? Have to assume it will happen at World's End after MJF faces Samoa Joe.

The state of the women's division, with Julia Hart as champion. Man idk. Jade Cargill was bad, but she at least had a pretty insane physique.

I feel bad for Shida, literally has been used as a transitional champion. Very talented but just doesn't have the best booking behind her.

It's going to be like the Owen Hart cup trophy, or like the G1. Basically a tournament with an annual winner.

So, the AEW devil still hasn't revealed themselves.

It's an exciting development that will be dragged out till World's End.

In the media scrum Tony Khan said (somewhat confusingly) that the winner of the Continental Classic will also get the ROH/NJPW belt that Eddie Kingston currently owns. So there will be a belt awarded, and it will be a unified title representing all 3 promotions. But I don't think normally there will be a "Continental Championship" that will be defended all year.

Then again it feels like the main reason he's doing this is to give Bryan Danielson his own G1 tournament. So, past 2024 who knows if the tournament exists. In theory, and on paper, this sounds like it will be an awesome old school NJPW/AJPW style tournament. No gaga, just hard hitting in-ring. It will suffer somewhat in comparison because TV matches with interruptions can't compare to what NJPW does.

Julia Hart is probably the most intriguing person they have right now in the women's division.

She has an actual gimmick/character which is a good one, her entrance makes her feel like a star, and in the ring she's above average (she's only 22 or something isn't she?).

And now Toni Storm as the women's champion who is also their other interesting woman on the roster.

Don't know where Saraya went, she seemed like she could've taken off once winning at All In, maybe she's hurt again? Britt hasn't done much in ages.

But the roster isn't as bad as it was before, but could still be much better.
