3. "TBS" Now Apparently Stands For "This Bull Sh*t"
AEW
An okay idea that failed badly in execution, the disrupted Jade Cargill/Marina Shafir match wasn’t exactly made worse by Nyla Rose’s interruptions, but both Champion and Challenger feel like total goofs going into Full Gear.
Belt thief Nyla and Vickie Guerrero attempted to help their Vicious Vixens colleague by chatting sh*t from a distance, but the plan’s profound uselessness meant that the jokes fell flat. Cargill barely sold the noise, and still won easily when she did. An attempt by Keira Hogan to steal the belt back was almost missed by the cameras, but both stables looked like losers when she was flattened by Nyla as she bailed.
This was flimsy, flimsy material that the two simply couldn’t elevate - most of the angle has been - and Rose’s comic charm circles the drain the longer she stays heel too.
