There's a lot here, so I divided into sections with dotted lines so it's easier to navigate.

I want to see AEW succeed, truly, I do. I want to get to a place where we have 2 awesome entertaining wrestling promotions. But it would be foolish not to acknowledge that the booking has been less than optimal. I know the diehards will disagree, but you really have to look at ratings, it's just how it is. So, I wanted to test out an idea to see how fans would react.

Take into account I'm running with what AEW has already put out there, and am trying to run with that. I know some fans are strictly WWE fans, so I'll give a rundown of some info important to my booking.

The history:

Earlier in the year, Skye Blue turned on Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander, thus joining Julia Hart after being sprayed with mist in the eye which I guess turned her to the dark side. Julia Hart was part of the House of Black stable, but it was never really established that Skye Blue was officially a part of the stable. Willow recently defeated Hart for the TBS title, wherein I learned Hart had a shoulder injury, and thus cannot compete. During this feud, Stokely Hathaway (aka Malcolm Bivens of NXT) and Kris Statlander (another female wrestler and former chanpion) allied with Willow, and were in her corner during the most recent promo.

During this time, Mercedes Mone, fka Sasha Banks, debuted in AEW. It seems likely they are set to square off for the TBS title (it is one of the women's titles. Which one is the top title feels subjective right now). You could actually argue that Mone is the heel, as Willow has a ton of support and momentum and has been the babyface through and through, while Mone continuously interrupted Willow. But Mercedes being Mercedes, and a new face, is also getting her pops as well. In the most recent promo, Statlander went to try to get Mone's attention as she was turned around, and Mercedes thought it was Willow, and so slapped Willow. That's where we stand now, whether you like it or not.

Of note, Mercedes has a moniker of CEO.

The way I would book now:

So, let me preface by saying, I am a sucker for trying to get midcarders over.

So, everyone on the planet is expecting Mercedes to defeat Willow for the title. My issue with this is that Willow has a ton of momentum right now, so, we have to find a way to keep that momentum.

So, I say, at the PPV, have the ladies accidentally knock the ref out. During this time, have Mercedes get the "false pinfall" where there's no ref, then have her beat down Willow to where it looks like Willow is out of it. Have Statlander enter like she's trying to get Mone to back off. Have Stokley throw a chair into the ring at that point, telling Statlander to use it. Stat teases a swing on Mone, only to lay put Willow instead. Mone gets the dirty win, and Stat and Stokley align with Mone.

The followup.

Statlander happens to also be involved in a storyline where best friends Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta have split as a team, and Trent injured Chuck, and is now targeting Orange Cassidy. Stat is friends with Orange. Get more heel heat on Stat by having Stat help Trent. Have her use a chair again. Thus, she is the chairwoman and Mone I'd CEO. In the aftermath, have Trent hand Stat a big stack of cash. Thus concluding Stats alliance with Orange.

Now that Stats established as "Chairwoman" of AEW, have her and Mone assault Willow for a few weeks. Backstage, have Skye Blue, former friend of Willow, look on without any emotion. By the final beatdown, on a Dynamite, have Skye come down to the ring. Have Mone and Stat back off as Skye raises Willow to her feet, like she's about to attack. Skye usually does this wink thing on her entrance. Have her wink at Willow and turn around as Willow and Skye lay put Mercedes and Stat. Establish Willow vs. Stat with some stipulation like falls clunt anywhere. Then Mercedes vs. Skye Blue for the title at the next PPV. Do a tag team match at the go home Dynamite or Collision. Have Willow go over Stat for momentum, and Mone over Blue, as Blue isn't a credible title holder at this point, but this will give her a chance to shine.

So, what yall think?
