Alright, so I actually sat down and watched the Britt/Rosa match in full (i kept getting distracted during the broadcast itself)...

Man, I don't know what was going on with these two in 2020/2021, but the chemistry they had during that feud has not really translated to this one. If not for the San Antonio crowd and the right person going over, this would probably be seen as a disappointment that in no way justified the length of Britt's reign (it still doesn't, by the way).

The match wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't that good. I thought the opening few minutes with Rosa just beating the shyt out of Britt was great and exactly what the match needed to be (notice, by the way, how the match came alive when Rosa just beat Britt pillar to post, mostly because she knew exactly what everyone wanted to see and kept things simple), and some of the spots on the back end were pretty satisfying as well. I don't think Rosa looked great and she seemed to gas earlier than I would have expected (she was not crisp at the end there), but she certainly wasn't the problem with this match.

Britt, though...fukk. Astonishingly dull heat segment that killed my interest in the match until Rosa's comeback. No sells half the shyt she gets hit with to get her spots in and ensure she looks strong. Ridiculously contrived spots with an underwhelming payoff (what the fukk was she thinking with that chair contraption...it was either going to look terrible or kill her with almost no option between the two :snoop:). And she ensured that the match wouldn't end at it's natural finishing point when she decided to no sell Rosa's thumbtack powerbomb to hit a chairshot that affected nothing, forcing Rosa to no sell so they can actually finish on time. AND she gassed early again, so a lot of her stuff looked like shyt as well.

At least the belt's off of her now and on someone I care about. Match got the job done, but it just wasn't much beyond that in my eyes (GREAT crowd, though).

Yeah, the main event match wasn't stellar but I'm just happy that Rosa is finally champ :ehh:. Opens up a lot of possibilities in the future and Britt has a feud waiting for her with Jamie. Rosa can work with some women who are better in ring and can have more fluid matches with.

Yuta looking to join the Mox/Bryan stable :ohhh:. Garcia decided to join Jericho's stable, low key might have been the better move since dude could use some points on the promos :picard:. Not that it's helped Hager being around Jericho all this time.

If I'm a wrestler, I'm thinking of a catch-phrase/chant immediately. Swerve just came to AEW and already got a chant popping, Britt been eating off DMD, Cole with his whole entrance, etc
