9. This “House Rule” Is Worthwhile

Some of the "House Rules" Julia Hart's TBS Title opponents pick are a bit sh*t. For example, Leyla Hirsch decided Brody King should be banned from ringside on Rampage recently. Great plan, except there was pretty much no story there. Why didn't Hirsch go for something that suited her skill set instead of banning just one House Of Black member?

Why is this so difficult?!

At Dynasty, Willow Nightingale must buck the trend of ridiculously thick babyfaces by playing to her own strengths. Julia has been a fine champ, so there's no call to take the TBS belt off her right now, but the least AEW can do is make Willow look like she and Stokely Hathaway have a brain cell between them.

Suggestions include turning the match into a 'No DQ' brawl and having Willow chat to an undercard tag-team/group backstage during the show. Then, when they inevitably interfere on her behalf and offset HOB, it'll make sense and have the glorious knock-on effect of making Hart look tough by rallying to retain anyway.
