The NWA Women’s World Championship is being defended on Dynamite again! Serena Deeb (who is signed with AEW) defeated Thunder Rosa for the belt on last night’s edition of UWN. As I’ve said here before, I welcome the incorporation of the NWA Women’s belt into AEW programming because I had no idea who Serena Deeb and Leyla Hirsch are. To be honest, I don’t know much about most of the women signed to AEW–not because I don’t enjoy or care about women’s wrestling, but because the women of the AEW roster simply are not featured on AEW programming. We can argue why that is and if it is really a problem until we’re blue in the face (and the IWC definitely does), but I am excited for the women on the roster to have something to do. Another belt creates another centerpiece to build feuds and storylines around, and a good reason to both develop and showcase the women of AEW.
Tonight on Dynamite, @The_MJF & @IAmJericho will hold a Town Hall discussion on the future of the Inner Circle.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I’m going to say something, and I need everyone reading this to take it to heart: If you didn’t enjoy last week’s Le Dinner Debonair, you are dead inside. I love comedy wrestling and am a firm believer that it can and should appear on a show without taking away from the serious feuds and storylines. I can’t wait to see what these guys do going forward.
