4 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage: Slam Dunk (Feb 18)

1. The Professor’s Challenge

Serena Deeb squashing newbies is already getting stale.

Here, she ploughed through a game Angelica Risk in a little over two minutes, and...not even the announcers really knew what to say about it. That's always the danger with rinse-and-repeat segments like this; they're so samey that you just wish promotions would get to the end goal pronto.

Someone will have to come close to lasting those five minutes with Serena or this is gonna get old fast. Also, it's worth questioning again why AEW feels the need to book four matches on Rampage constantly. They should mix that up a little too, because a strict format isn't really what this show needs.

It's a complement to Dynamite, and that's all it should be. Forcing things onto the card so that everybody gets some spotlight will only dilute everything else going on. AEW could drop these 'Professor's Challenge' skits and nobody would even notice.
