5 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (July 14)

3. Don’t Mind This

Taya Valkyrie vs. Toni Storm should be a fun distraction at Battle Of The Belts. Granted, it does suck that Taya will lose another title bout, but it is what it is. She isn't in the same boat as someone like Lance Archer there, 'cause she isn't a monster heel character who needs to look dominant.

The promo set-up between both women was well-executed. Toni came across as a sneering elitist bitch who thinks she's untouchable, and Valkyrie goaded her into a title shot whilst Saraya generally hung over Storm's shoulder like some sort of annoying pest.

Weirdly, the announcers disagreed with Toni pointing out that Taya has lost some important matches over the past few months. She has! Valkyrie has dropped TBS Title bouts to both Jade Cargill and Kris Statlander, so God only knows what Jericho and Excalibur were droning on about.

Good segment though.
