WWE now have both Guilia and Steph coming to join the likes of Perez, Stratton, Green, Bayley, Belair, Morgan, Ripley and so on. Already been loving what WWE have been doing, but even more excited to see what they do with them
Weak. The AEW's top women's top storyline is actually based on women, The WWE's top storyline is based off a corny high school love triangle with Mid Morgan and Rhea Ripley. Other than Giulia, Steph, Bianca, and Rhea the women’s roster is trash.
Stephanie Vaquer vs Giulia part 2. I don't doubt Shawn is already thinking this.
1:18 andrew finally said CMLL instead of CMML 🎊
🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's not just Shawn Michaels, but both Ava & the WWE Spanish Twitter account even acknowledged Stephanie signing as well. It also makes sense since if Stephanie was to head to AEW, then CMLL would've allowed her to remain champion because of their relationship with AEW.
May heel turn was awesome
Honestly, the Mariah May heel turn was one of the best I've seen in some time. Bloody brilliant (pun intended), genuinely brutal!
Mariah may be the best personality of all AEW women, girl got something.
All I want for All In is a Jamie Hayter return of some kind 😅
Stephanie going to WWE isn't a surprise, her main goal was WWE.
Why do you assume she went were the money was? Perhaps she decided that WWE would be a better environment for her development 🤷🏻♂️
Why so she can wrestle other Latin people and go nowhere? Wwe is the worst with Latinos
Some of the luchadores in AEW defended her ex-bf after he nearly strangled her to death. I'm sure she didn't mind working for AEW here and there, but being in that locker room long term was probably less than appealing with those luchas in the company.
Wasn't Rush one of them?
@@Jamieb1994 Yes, RUSH and Dralistico. Even though the evidence of abuse was very clear and her ex-boyfriend is still in jail. Shocking she didn’t want to sign there.
@@kc1john Their other brother works for WWE though so it's more complicated than that
Then there's Dragon Lee in WWE
@@kayhaich I do wonder what Dragon Lee did during the situation since wasn't there something that happened on the same day as a NXT show that Lee appeared on or something?
At least we know she's smart. Signed with the right ones.
Hooray monopolies! Eradicate alternatives!
Toni is a very popular heel she will now be a popular face.
If people know her personal situation and those associated with that situation in AEW, I think it’s pretty obvious she was probably never gonna go there, plus WWE has always been her dream, even 3 years ago when NXT was at its lowest and AEW at its highest, she still said she’d rather be in NXT
What's the story?
@@Shirkulesher ex boyfriend beat her and most of the AEW kuchadores sided with her boyfriend
Why is the assumption when someone signs for WWE that they got offered more money rather than it being the talent’s preferred destination?
Exactly
Especially as it’s been reported many times that Tony Khan has been willing to pay more for talent then WWE
Yeah, when it’s they signed with AEW it’s they really wanted to go there. Let’s be honest Tony offers stupid money to wrestler is all the time. So to assume that it is solely the money and that WWE had to be where the money is a pretty stupid line. Tony has given huge money contracts to many people that do not deserve huge money contracts. So I have no doubt that the offer was ridiculously competitive at the very least. At least the girl will be in a real women’s division.
I wonder the same since I'm sure some (non-WWE) wrestlers have dreams to wrestle for WWE as well.
Because they're not thinking of the wrestler's interest, they're mainly focused on promotion vs promotion warfare. That's why financial gain seems to be the focus
Absolutely agree that Stephanie Vaquer shouldn't be in the LWO.
She should be in Legado del Fantasma...
It actually would not be a bad idea. She could be a tag team with Electra Lopez, and then there’s another tag team for the division.
So Maria turns heel on Tony, who is supposed to be a heel? well I guess that makes sense for this company where people are a heel woman week and then a face the next week and then back to be in a heel the following week not for any actual reason or anything but it all depends on what Tony wants to do in that moment. turns in AEW are meaningless because they literally happen all the damn time.
Vaquer Joined Latino World Order
Imagine making your signings of one racial group fight each other semi-exclusively.
@@kayhaich so is it just as bad when all of the white people are battling each other most of the time I do not as much see a problem with these two groups fighting each other semi exclusively, especially when they are in a feud together. just like when you have a cruiserweight division semi-exclusively fight each other.
Steph got me hooked just from wearing the devil horns. That's such a sick look
I was a bit sad to see the Mariah and Toni breakup, but both women are awesome and I look forward to their feud!
AEW Mariah heel turn is Wicked
Loved it
Fair play to Stephanie Vaquer; had a high profile match against Mercedes Mone then within a week she signs with WWE. She’s going to go places!
Perhaps a place she will go is an Italian restaurant with a personal computer that can be taken on the go!
With what Darby said, could we be seeing the debut of Sting’s son next week?
Watched her match. She did great against mone. Some say she outperformed, i say mone underperformed. Lets see how much better can vaquer get in NXT. Her future is bright.
While I would have wanted her to got to aew, I’m glad she’s getting the international love that she deserves. Vamos Vaquer!!!!!
I can tell you right now it was no bidding war. Her dream has always been WWE.
Question for Stephanie Vaquer 3 years ago:
"If at this moment they showed you two contracts between NXT or AEW, which one would you choose?"
She answers: "Definitely, NXT. I think there are many good wrestlers in NXT and WWE that I would like to face."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe she always knew she was going to WE. But she'd still be stupid not to hear AEW out and get an offer. If WWE knew she was not talking to AEW, they can make a lower offer. It's just simple business. Play your second choice to get a better offer from your dream job.
@@moopert86 her career would of died in AEW, the moment you sign that contract you know TK will play with you for a little bit and get bored and moved onto his next toy, it keeps happening over and over again, well unless you suck up to the EVP's.
She also had a tryout in 2018 and has had a lot positive to say about that experience when she’s talked about it.
I could see the bucks overturning the result of the final match because Jeff Jarrett called the pinfall and he isn't an official ref. They will insert him in the main event at Wembley as a favour in helping them win blood and guts
Vaquer wrestled circles around Mone and its just more painful to AEW for her to go to WWE
You're assuming she went to WWE cause of more money. Maybe she just liked the people or creative pitches better. Or she wants to work in front of more people. Or wants to wrestle on Wrestlemania. Unless we get specifics on contract numbers that were offered, anything could be the reason she chose WWE.
My reason exactly her potential would of been squandered in AEW due to the Snowmans way of booking and she would of been worth nothing when her contract expired, look at Paige MASSIVE signing and now nothing.
Also WWE seems primed right now to expand it's women's division with mid card titles along with working with the indies now. AEWs women's division just isn't that strong compared to WWE.
@@jasmith85 paige isn't a good wrassler. it has nothing to do with booking. she's not a good promo or good in the ring. you are clearly one of those "i blindly hate aew" people who don't watch the show so you still think paige is what she was 10 years ago.
Vaquer vs Giulia in 1 on 1 matches stands at 1-0 for Vaquer. This can be a great rivalry for the future. Do it right Shawn & Hunter
Now with Vaquer and Guilia, if NXT gets Grace come January....oooh shit is that division gonna be even more stacked
i’m glad steph didn’t go to aew tbh feel like she would’ve got lost & forgotten about one month after she debut if she did go to aew probably would’ve even done a mercedes v steph 2 & have mercedes beat her again
Shame about Danielson, he should face Nigel in London
Sr is the shorthand for Senor, like Mr is Mister. Just a friendly note, love ya Tom
The true bidding war of 2024
Finally a free agent that really considered wwe as a legitimate company to work for. It's nice to see variety in the free agent scene.
You mean fed
Never heard of Stephanie Vaquer before but its great to hear that for once WWE succeeded in outbidding aew for new talent. After WWE previously came up short against aew in trying to sign marquee NJPW stars like Kenny, Will, Okada & Jay, hopefully WWE will start to step up their recruiting efforts way more harder against tony hoarder from here on in especially as WWE as the far hotter promotion right now.
Vaquer should never take an AEW offer unless they get her title back and give Mone an ass whooping. AEW would never do that.
I am happy for Vaquer's new deal, but sadly, this shows once again that WWE doesn't like to play nice. What is wrong with Vaquer doing a couple more shows before starting at WWE, so she can drop the belts, do a lovely farewell and thank you to fans, and eventually make her way to the Performance Center. I don't understand why WWE thinks they have to snatch someone immediately. This really doesn't make them look good in this deal, and the fact that Vaquer had to apologize for the inconveniences and not WWE is telling. NJPW and CMLL are definitely not happy with how WWE handled this, and I'm sure it is going to taint any possible future relations.
It has something to do with money, but she sees what has been going on in AEW.
AEW has never been in the business of letting women main event PPVs, but Toni Storm vs Mariah May absolutely deserves to be this year's Wembley headliner.
You think with Giulia's delayed start with NXT, Vaquer will fill her role until (i have absolutely no doubt) Giulia storms the woman's division in a couple of months?
Jarrett vs Hangman for Wembley in a massive Texas Deathmatch type vibe you could set it as Jarrett’s retirement if he loses right as Hangman has Jarrett ready to end him with his own guitar Swerve’s music hits no Swerve it’s a Swerve based swerve Jarrett gets a roll up Hangman wants Swerve’s head
Danielson is older and he speaks like he isn’t chasing titles and wants to help the younger talent if this is so why is he cheating someone from a main event spot?
She blew me away at Forbidden Door so I’m made up for her getting snapped up by WWE can’t wait for her NXT debut think her presentation will work perfectly in NXT
Hopefully WWE win bidding war for the MCMG. Would love to see Shelly and Sabin spice up the tag division
this ^ i feel like wee need this aew has so many good teams already would love them to take wwe tag division by storm
Yea, what's going on with them, I heard they signed with WWE this morning but I haven't seen anything official.
8:55 also a Ben Howard song
Lol Tony is going to be mad and salty and will post about this on X lol
Wondering if she will still be performing at the upcoming revpro Anniversary Show 🤔
They didnt bring up that a major reason she may have signed with WWE is some Luchadores in AEW (Rush and Dralistico) publically supported Vaquer's ex-bf after he was arrested for nearly choking her to death.
It may have deterred her from signing there and having to share a locker room with men who supported your abuser.
There are other benefits of signing with WWE. Like better stability, more opportunities to improve, as well as performing in front of more people.
But sure lets go with money as to why
its cause these ppl dont care. they want aew to be the poor persecuted company that has never made any mistakes leading to it's decline 😔😔😔
Stephanie, Giulia and possible Jordynne Grace by January, WWE's women's division is about to be like an All-Star team.
Does this mean no Bryan Danielson vs Nigel McGuiness at All In!?
"Lets not put her in the LWO" seems like a weird thing to say with Bayley, Perez, and Priest all holding titles, and Lola Vice challenging for one last weekend and all being Latinos.
Bayley doesn't lean into being Latina at all, and Priest has an extensive history of feuding directly with the LWO along with Dom, so he's kind of still in that LWO vortex. Roxy and Lola Vice are still on NXT.
@@TwinBladeFury what are we even saying here bayley is straight up latina and priest has bean basically doing his own thing for a while now since being champ and roxy and lola being on nxt makes them excluded or what ? they are still in wwe roxan had appearances on raw and smackdown this year and last
Sounds about right, AEW signs too much without having a place to put talent
Wasn't much of a bidding war. Stephanie Vaquer experienced the clown show that is the environment behind the scenes at AEW and the next day signed with WWE.
Thanks 🎉
Mariah May was the most effective heel turn I've seen in a long long time
Stephanie Vaquer vs Giulia. Damn.
the rematch we need it
What's up with the pictures of Tony Khan? I mean c'mon
There was no bidding war when she said if she had to pick between both shed choose wwe. Her mind was already made up no amount of bidding would have changed her mind lol
Honestly, give me Jeff in B&G
Yesss
WWE, easy choice!
Stephanie Vaquer is so dope... Her height worries me _a bit_ for WWE, but hopefully it won't be much of an issue.
Huh?
Height doesn't really matter in the women's division. Also I think that was mostly a Vince thing.
@@mutedmayday Yeah it was a Vince thing cuz he liked wrestlers who actually look like wrestlers, not short, underweight, out-of-shape cosplayers!
Her Height?😂 Ig Zelina & Roxanne Dont Exist They Literally 5’1 & 5’3
@@PMKru Don't get me wrong, I'm not downing her or intending to treat her height like a negative. I don't think it should be a big deal compared to talent, but the division is definitely going taller these days. A lot of athletes 5'8" or taller. Yeah Roxanne, Liv, Zelina, Iyo... I'm not saying there's no place for wrestlers closer to 5 feet, it's just one of those things in the back of your mind. You start seeing a pattern, and hope things don't start shifting towards focusing on that aspect.
3:36: Ok so don't put Steph in LWO? Got it. Legado Del Fantasma it is!
Shiiit, what bidding war???
🇨🇱 🇨🇱 🇨🇱 🫡
Tom: “on the Elite side, we got Young Bucks, we got Okada,hangman Page, and…and…
Basically team Elite is full!”
🤣 tell me Perry doesn’t mean squat without telling me Perry doesn’t mean squat.
No it’s bad booking. Swerve and hangman should be a single match. But AEW is just bad at storytelling so it doesn’t matter.
@@user-on9ie2lm1y Swerve and Hangman have had a lot of single's matches, and they are absolutely going to put them in another one AFTER Blood and Guts. Idk why having the Blood and Guts match first is a bad thing considering their feud is already violent and bloody
@user-on9ie2lm1y
Ummm. It's pretty clear that IS the end goal. With All Out 2 weeks after, they'll definitely need a big match to sell the PPV. What better than Swerve and Hangman finally fighting with Swerve riding massive momentum from a win against Bryan at All In.
Also, lol. You can't say they can't tell a story after Mariah's turn which has been praised universally. Nice try.
@@user-on9ie2lm1y AeW Is JUsT BaD At StOrYTeLlInG p: you screech as AEW is telling a story with swerve and hangman right now.
Vaquers English is not good and WWE historically has proven non English speakers end up struggling no matter their talent level.
Heel bludgeons Storm
Tom has it right, they _had_ to make a Mariah heel turn work _because_ everybody has been organically cheering intended heel Toni. And for all I mock the obvious and inevitable descent, Tony (heh) hasn't gone full Vince yet Ipso facto, the shortest route to that effective turn is women + blood
Moral of the story, WWE watches AEW lol
If we know anything about WWEs booking with factions, their new signing is joining the LWO
I'm hype for the NXT debut of Stephanie Vaquer
BD doesn't even want the title. So we know who's winning that match unfortunately.
Buuuuuut she wasn't a free agent 😂
Tom dies is side every day aew clubs something
So Giulia, Vaquer and in 6 months Jordan Grace. WWE´s womens division is cooking.
i wish megan bayne came over as well
Can't wait for Stephanie to join the LWO or legado del phantasma 🤣🤣
It’s more of a win for her rather than a win for WWE. AEW is at an all time low right now. Best of luck to her in WWE.
No
wwe womens division is top of the world right now no wonder women wanting to go there
Great stuff as always guys
Yay WWE, forcing wrestlers to do bad business so that after their contract is over, they’ll have a sour taste and other companies mouths and will be forced to resign with the fed, so cool guys 🤪🤪
Yeet (☝🏻) vs Yeah (🎤), when? Who can hype up the fans the most?
This is like
Pepsi 🥤vs Coke 🥤
Papa John's 🍕 vs Domino's 🍕
Taco Bell 🌮 vs Taco Bell 🌮
Burger King 🍔🍟🥤 vs McDonald's 🍔🍟🥤
PLE IN CHILE 🇨🇱 COMING SOOOOON. They got their main eventer
Generic wrestling fan comment: "Yea, b-b-b-but Tony Klown 🤡🤡🤡🤡"
Good choice to choose wwe as most of their women will be in AEW soon enough like Mone
These "Wars" are gunna be a lot of WWE winning these days
No
Vaquer will make a great impact in either LWO or Legado Del Fantasma 😂
Or one day main eventing wrestlemania like Becky/Charlotte/rhonda/sasha/bianca 🤷🏻♂️
@@user-js1un4ff7m Nahhhh definitely LWO fodder
Right, cause there is no latino woman not in one of those groups. Bayley, Raquel Rodriguez, Lola Vice, Roxanne Perez for example are huge parts of those groups...
@@Keeperodd for now... The Latina vortex will get them all eventually
wwe is really getting good in biding on stars
Yet still another heel on Dynamite... Surprise, surprise, surprise! 🙄
Don’t you know there is no such thing as heels and faces in AEW. How dare you think they know to tell that kind of story 😆
@user-on9ie2lm1y Well no wonder why they can't book or tell a competent story. I mean, I thought this was a wrestling show where good guys, or faces, compete against the baddies, or heels.
But I guess that this isn't that kind of show. I mean, it would take a complete idiot to not know what the heck he is doing, running that show.
so what do you propose, exactly? mariah and toni to both be faces and have a friendly match?
@@jasonjimerson7046 imagine thinking this toni and mariah thing isn't a "competent story". good lord you people who blindly hate AEW without ever watching a second of it are so weird.
Whaaat?
She's going to WWE? Woh, it's either going to be awesome or awful. I like what I've seen of her so far I hope it goes well.
😄👍
Except for the bloodline the Mariah May heel turn was great.
Finally some offer competition, after you missed the top three free agents. 🤗 Proud of you WWE. ***Head pat*** 💙
She chose the big leagues in wrestling in WWE over AAA version of wrestling in AEW
Looking at AEW's women's division? Who would want to work in that dumpster fire???
WWE wins for once
They always win
Good Day to all. Ah another day and more AEW nonsense.
Is anyone surprised that Vaquer went to WWE with how AEW women's division is booked it's no surprise.
Also Danielson won the Owen Hart championship but Bryan recently did an interview saying he doesn't want to win the belt and shouldn't at his stage of his career (fair enough can't argue there). Since the AEW Neckbeard fanbase at all internet die Uncle Dave loving marks it doesn't make and sense to have Bryan win the tournament, saying that this Tony Klown's way of booking the Chewbacca approach.
It's upsetting since there is so much potential in AEW (and so many duds pointing at the Elite and Pals), there is a decent WWE alternative under all the mess/bad booking/bad decision making/money wasted etc... but Tony Klown can't get out his own way and admit he knows nothing and hire real professionals with a track record, turn this into a profitable successful business instead of E-Fed wrestling and being the butt of all jokes. I bet most of the upper talent just sit and laugh at TK since they can rob him blind while TK just wants to play with his toys.
I'm really sorry you're life isn't going well. I hope things turn around for you!
He isn’t wrong but yes he does red to live a life outside of wrestling.
@@adamstark1850 I don't understand, the comments are mainly from frustration, as a former wrestler myself, personally I'd love to see AEW to succeed, Iron sharpens Iron and all that and competition is great.
I might speak for others I might not, AEW's problem is the "baby-powder" sniffing person at the very top who won't let the company grow into what is potentially there.
@@adamstark1850 nah he was spitting yall just don't wanna hear it
Awesome Dynamite 👍
AEW 😎
F the Hater brigade
8:40 they were both heels and they just made Toni a face
Vaquer will absolutely be going to LWO lol.
She's had photos with LWO members.
Doing Mexican wrestling and corporate racial stereotypes proud!
Don’t worry I don’t see LWO & Legado making it to 2025
She went there because she probably thought her match that she had was horrible
