5 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (Dec 16)

Downs...

4. One Minute In. Seriously?!

Britt Baker Sky Blue Dana White
AEW

READER WARNING: INCOMING RANT ABOUT PICTURE-IN-PICTURE.

Britt Baker vs. Sky Blue had just started when AEW relegated it to a tiny box on the right hand side of the screen and had Dana White promo about slapping instead. This needs called out every single week it happens, man, because it badly hurts Tony Khan's show.

Fans watching at home barely saw any of the match, and that was a shame when Britt is a star and Sky often shows some spirit during her bouts. It's also probably not great that Baker beat Blue with a stomp when Sammy Guevara had kicked out of the same move earlier in the episode, but that's nitpicking for sure.

Back to those damn ad breaks. Look, everyone knows AEW has to make money and it's TNT who are responsible for these things, but the timing is dreadful. Less than 60 seconds into a match and you're focusing on commercials? Come on now.
