Not sure, maybe, but, people were asking me about Mercedes recently & so I simply told them how hard Vincent fell.
Mercedes was very loyal to the company & did not tolerate betrayal & neither would I, so hopefully with this change of guard she will one day return to WWE.
Still, AEW is another chapter & we'll see how that goes.Harvard Business Review Advisory Council Member

Nope.
AEW does not have a talent problem, it has a management problem. You can give the finest ingredients in the world to a guy flipping burgers at McDonalds, that meal will end up trash. Meanwhile, you can give a fine chef modest ingredients and they will make something decent to great out of it.
Khan has shown time and time again he can not utilize talent and has surrounded himself with trash like the Young Bucks who actively ruin everything they touch, drove away the two biggest (or potentially biggest) stars they ever had all while being paid more than almost anyone else on the roster, if not the company itself.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Mkay, mkay. Ratings have been slumping, right? Over 800K usually but barely?
My guess: Tony does a big overrun to try and cheat, they come in above normal but around 850K with the usual big start, slump and fall offs. Since you put it right at 850k, which is probably about where it would be, were I a betting man I would say Under and not Over (which, either way it's 840K-860K range).
I don't think women in general have enough of a built-in fanbase to attract big numbers, even the 'modern' soy fans who like Women's wrestling, they're not going to be particularly loyal or hardcore to any woman outside of maybe Rhea Ripley. I wasn't paying much attention to WWE when Sasha was around but she didn't strike me as particularly good, talented or that interesting. She's got the right cousin and landed a decent role on a mid TV show, sure, but that isn't going to bring in 100,000 fans to watch her debut on some show non-wrestling fans are unaware of.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Lol at the piped in "CEO" chants, so fukking cringe.
Yeah wtf. Willow vs Riho with no story around it as your main event on the same show that featured Joe vs Wardlow for the title. Clearly done so Mercedes can pop in at the end but still. Big mistake on her part signing there, they don't know how to book their women at all. The only people that have any kind of storyline at the moment are Toni Storm and kind of the Outcasts. They gave Sky Blue like 5 title shots without earning most of them or any kind of story behind it, she lost all of them, and now she's just in limbo as Julia Hart's lackey.
In general not just with women TK needs to hire a dedicated booker and get the Young Cucks away from creative altogether.See Krackerjacked's sig

Evidently she's getting just under $5 MM a year:
Mone—known previously as Sasha Banks in WWE—was seeking “Becky Lynch-level money” while discussing a potential contract with WWE before ultimately opting to sign with AEW.
...
Though Mone’s deal apparently falls short of the rumored $5 million per year payday, Mone’s AEW contract could force WWE's hand."
I don't know how to justify that figure. Roman makes $5 MM lmao.See Krackerjacked's sig
