Some of it is injury bad luck, some of it limited roster depth, some of it hot-potato booking – mostly things WWE has control of.
The Post’s Joseph Staszewski brings you around the world of professional wrestling every Tuesday in his weekly column, the Post Match AngleIt’s been over a year since Mercedes Varnado and Trinity Fatu walked out on “Monday Night Raw” as WWE was reportedly taking their reign as women’s tag team champions on a singles storyline detour.
Since August 2022, when new champs were crowned after Fatu and Varnado left, seven different teams have held the championships. Only the teams of Raquel Rodriguez and Liz Morgan and Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai have had two reigns. The former pair’s first run ended because of an injury to Morgan. Well, at least the titles were back on Rodriguez and Morgan and they will get the long reign they deserved the first time around, right? Nope.Just 16 days later, WWE women’s champion Rhea Ripley targeted Rodriguez’s knee in a backstage brawl that compromised her in storyline for the match. All to likely set up a SummerSlam title match between Rodriguez and Riley.
He isn’t a true heel but a tweener by not cheating in his mind, instead framing it as doing what it takes to win. It could split the audience between him and Punk in a good way. If it leads to a pay-per-view match, it is immediately a step up from his world title program with MJF.WWE better have something up its sleeve in this United States championship storyline because having Santos Escobar beat Austin Theory clean in a non-title match will feel very dumb otherwise.
Jack Perry and Hook did some very effective business for two young stars. Perry made good on his promise – and could get some decent heat – after handing Hook his first loss and winning the FTW championship, which he smashed over his former partner’s head to do so. Hook got to kick out of Perry’s finisher for some protection and will likely set things right eventually. If all goes well, AEW elevates both of them.
