7 Ups & 4 Downs For AEW Collision (Nov 25 - Results & Review)

2. What's The Deal With The Righteous?

AEW Collision The Righteous

The Righteous vs. FTR was about as standard a tag team match as you can get. The action was fine, but what is actually going on with the Righteous right now?

Vincent and Dutch have been put on AEW television with very little fanfare, to very little crowd response, and with very little reason or rhyme. Is Stu Grayson still with the group? Where have Jake Roberts and Lance Archer disappeared to?

As a team, Vincent and Dutch are good workers who mesh well together, but they just seem in an extremely bizarre limbo right now - which is even more concerning when they're still such a relatively new addition to the AEW roster.

It almost feels as if Tony Khan isn't sure what to do with the Righteous right now, which if so, it would likely be better to keep them off TV while you decide the best way to use them. Y'know, other than just a functioning solid team to throw into cold matches - which was once again the case here.
