AEW in the early years (minus covid lockdown) were REALLY good at making sure they had wrestlers on the ground floor, making personal connections with fans at shows beyond the premium ticket experience.
That’s how The Elite got themselves the momentum that led to all of this.

Oba Femi says the championship is always going to be there and the championships are not going anywhere, and that he will take that when he wants.

A deranged Lyra Valkyria explains her betrayal of Bayley:
"It takes two to lose a Tag Team Title match, and Bayley and I both let the frustration get the better of us.
"I just think it's unfair I let the anger get the better of me one time and everyone forgets that I've been the bigger person for a year.
"I'm not proud of what happened, but I'm not losing any sleep over it either. I have bit my tongue and carried the load and sacrificed my success over and over because I wanted to bring Bayley to the top with me. Everyone knows I can do it myself, I was the first Women's Intercontinental Champion.
"I put my trust in someone who is supposed to be one of the best, now there's this huge gap between who I am and who I want to be. I never wanted to hurt Bayley, but last week it felt so good to close that gap, just a little bit"
X-men 97 doesn’t fuck around man. They don’t have a goober redesigning all the characters into THEIR vision of what they should look like
They just rip them right off the comic page. Thor and literally everyone else to appear in the show look immaculate
