Let’s pump the brakes on the American hero part. I don’t know much about him, but I do know that his ex-girlfriend says he emotionally abused her & says other women had to sign NDAs.

Agreed. I’d love to see more of Lacey Lane in AEW.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

I should’ve guessed Lacey Lane would answer Mercedes’ challenge since she faced Mina for the interim Women’s TV Title last week. That was a great match. #AEWDynamite #WrestleSky 🤼

Exactly, keep them away.

I don’t have much interest in Santos in AEW, but I have zero interest in Kross & Scarlett.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

Haha true

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

They have people on their roster that I’d rather see them utilize.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve never been a fan of Kross, even in TNA. I’d rather see them push guys like Scorpio Sky, Juice, & Ace Austin (who hasn’t wrestled a match since they signed him).

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

I think they’ll have Santos join LFI & will probably send him to CMLL some.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

I saw that she was offering this opportunity. I’m sure those spots filled up quickly.

I was on live coverage for Dynamite. That was a really awesome show with several PPV worthy matches.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

I think they thought AEW would’ve signed them by now & they’re in MLW.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

I definitely don’t. She wants a job that isn’t MLW.

Sam @samantha1713.bsky.social · 1d

There’s a quote from her going around on the other app that I’ve seen over & over the past 20 minutes saying wherever they go is where they’ll be forever & if it’s AEW, that’s the flag they’ll carry. She said it wouldn’t be fair to Tony to come to AEW as a stepping stone back to WWE.

Saw the vague tweet about Ronda. If it’s about wrestling & not UFC, the women’s divisions in both companies would eat her alive; particularly AEW’s. They can’t hide her flaws the way WWE tried before.

Some of us have been here since before they even called her fans Swifties & we’re here for all versions of her music. It’s fine if you don’t like the album, but some of

This isn’t her first pop album or the first time she’s worked with Max Martin & Shellback. They were behind some of her biggest hits. There are 11 albums in her catalog leading up to TLOAS & some people complaining should go listen to them. She doesn’t have to be miserable to make good music.
