Which Mixed Tag Match was better? Shaq/Jade v Cody/Red Velvet OR....

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Spoiler

Probably the 2 best Mixed Tag Matches in both companies history for delivering on their hype.



I still think Ronda's debut edges this out but not by much.

similar bookings too...

Cody & Brandi literally played the role of company authorities like "HHH & Steph" defending their company against Shaq and AEW's Ronda Rousey in Jade Cargill.

and yes i know red velvet filled in.

This is a good thread actually

might be recency bias but getting to see a 7ft+ basketball superstar go out there and hit power bombs and go through a table was crazy and edges it out for me

the Ronda match was good too though and the crowd was better

whats cool is it was mostly black unknown talent too in AEW that made an instant classic and yes its a classic because it was short and sweet and vintage wrasslin booking. Not a bunch of flips and shyt. 1 table spot that made sense and a story to get JADE over big time while the world watched. AEW deserves credit. I'll "all in" on JADE now

Word Jade looked like a star throughout the match despite being a bit green. Red Velvet showed out too and was the plucky underdog

and it was soooo needed. Bianca is red hot right now bout to have her "Road to Wrestlemania" moment and now AEW just unleashed their "GOLDBERG" counter

glad to see competition byke in wrasslin

Damn, this is a good one.

I don't want to give in to recency bias, however, that Jade/Shaq match was way better than I expected. Shaq was actually out there working, took a table spot and hit a clean ass powerbomb. Jade is the present and the future and they'd be stupid not to strap 15 rockets to her.

Ronda/Kurt vs. the Helmsleys though was really a good showcase for Ronda and everyone played their role well.

Both matches surprised me as Shaq was way better than expected, and that entire WWE match was not only nothing short of a miracle, but also probably the best match on that card. It's a tough one to call.

 

[MenacingMonk]

I was actually gonna make a similar thread.

I liked Shaq’s. Jade > Ronda. Yeah, I said it.

 

[Metal Face]

The Ronda match was more impressive for her.

Shaq/Jade was good but it's really a one spot only match.

 

[TBdaGhost]

I'm a AEW stan but that Wrestlemania match was awesome.

 

[CM_Burns]

The WWE one but it's not a fair comparison because AEW had like 100 people in the crowd and WWE had 80k

 

[The Rainmaker]

Both were excellent

 

[WaveMolecules]

the mania match was better

 

[Stop_It_5]

Hard to compare given the circumstances, WM match had a higher bar to clear on a bigger stage and delivered.

 

[The Solid One]

Is this a real question?
