6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dark (Dec 15)

2. The Waiting Room

Things are coming together nicely for Britt Baker's Waiting Room, which served up another enjoyable episode last night, continuing the upward trajectory.

As usual, Baker ripped a handful of popular figures (Hangman Page, Cody Rhodes, SCU) before Dynamite. Rebel now has cue cards to go with her deliberately annoying laughter which is wonderfully obnoxious. The guests, Tully Blanchard and Shawn Spears, threw some bluster around, bantered poor Marko Stunt off, and were the attacked by Scorpio Sky, who through Spears all the way through the set.

Nice to see something different on The Waiting Room, as the segment had yet to deliver a full-on ambush before last night. Spears' leaving a massive hole in the wall made for quite the sight.

Let's get Britt bullying Tony Schiavone into repairing it next week, please.
