AEW continues to run into the same problems with every damn person they bring in. They've mishandled Mercedes and them building her up with a rivalry with WIllow seems wrong. Most viewers don't watch stuff outside of AEW and WWE, so why would they expect the viewers to believe or invest in her rivalry with Willow. Also, Mercedes strength is wrestling and not being on the mic constantly, so unsure why they aren't booking around that instead of doing what they've been doing. I think more will tune in if we know she's wrestling
Also, the same sentiment above goes to Okada about them using him wrong. The average viewer who watches mainly AEW and WWE wouldn't know why Okada is a big deal. I feel they're doing ti wrong with him, which is why his impact won't be felt for awhile becuase they need to sell why he's such a big deal and at one time one of the biggest wrestlers in the world. The average viewer wouldn't know much about him or how lethal the rainmaker is becuase most don't watch wrestling outside of AEW and WWE.
Anyway, they'll continue to run into these problem because what puts butts into seats are storylines and promos and not work rate. I want AEW to succeed, but so far these new arrivals haven't done much except Ospreay. I think they've handled him right and I am invested in his character, but they need to improve getting Danielson involved with feud because I don't think mutual respect thing they have going on sells and we need a storyline
