10 Biggest Missed Opportunities From AEW So Far

10. The Women’s Tag Team Tournament Not Being On Dynamite Regularly

AEW’s women’s division has a lot of problems. They have only been around a year and the pandemic put a lot of their plans on hold, making some of their drawbacks understandable.

However, the claim that they haven’t had the time to build stars in the women’s division rings false, especially when so much of their television time has been spent building male stars with lesser reputations before their signing. They have clearly not prioritised their female talent while building their show in the first year, which is very sad, and something that needs to change.

A chance to correct this problem was the Women’s Tag Team Tournament, which could have easily helped establish a collection of underrated women to the general audience. While Dynamite is only two hours, it seemed like it could accommodate space for an inaugural tournament, particularly when so many random matches for the men make it on.

Sadly, with the exception of the final, the tournament was put on YouTube and not promoted in the way it should have been. It would have been wonderful for AEW to promote their current roster of women and freelance talent on television, allowing their regular viewers to easily experience and make attachments to these characters. Hopefully next time.
