10 Storylines AEW Dropped COLD
4. QT Marshall & The Bunny Are In Love?
The Bunny's odd AEW resumé reads more like a LinkedIn that most wrestling careers, if only because multiple global recessions and an unstable job market has had us all bouncing around a little more than we'd like over the years.
As Allie in 2019, she was 50/50 booked from the off before morphing into The Bunny as part of The Butcher & The Blade's debut. After a middling start to life for the act, she morphed back to supposedly being herself for the start of a romantic storyline with QT Marshall in May 2020. The whole thing was supposed to scan as a false babyface turn, with Allie gradually gaining Brandi Rhodes' trust for the formation of The Nightmare Sisters tag team until she returned to The Bunny persona in October.
Though this played out as intended, it did so without the continuation or conclusion of the supposed love and romance between the trainer and trainee. The optics weren't ever fantastic - 2020 in particular forced wrestling into a version of a reckoning of power/relationship dynamics thanks to the brave survivors coming forward during #SpeakingOut - and the generic mistrust of a woman felt archaic in the extreme.
It was all better off left alone, but a small sliver of narrative explanation wouldn’t have gone amiss. It’s not like Rhodes-related content was ever given the short shrift…
