Reckless Speculation - Dynamite (12/07/22) - Who will be [redacted]'s partner in LA?

[Big Jean Studd]

Last night, Britt Baker challenged Saraya to a tag match in January during AEW's visit to LA for Dynamite. This has obviously lead to wold speculation, who do you think it will be?

or even

I think Rosa if she's healthy is the plan, if it's anyone not major other than her I'm gonna assume they were the backup lol

I think if it's anyone but Sasha, they should probably start telling us it's not her sooner than later to avoid backlash. personally would not be dissapointed in any of the above though various degrees of excitement. obviously the last gif is like 0.00001% but thats why were hear to be reckless lol

 

[Chris]

Yeah WWE was pretty smart to return Becky on Friday instead of Saturday in Boston even and that was fucking Becky lol

 

[Chris]

I think anyone realistically expecting Sasha is also a fool tho tbf

 

[John McHenry]

If I had to guess it would be [redacted] she seems like the most obvious candidate. She's got the talent and skills to pull it off and who doesn't want to see that finisher used on [insert opponent]?

yeah thhey made the same point on fightful, THEY SPOILED A BECKY RETURN because they didn't want her to get boo'd by ppl expecting Sasha. tells you the Sasha detractors have no idea what they are talking about when they say she's not a big star. She's a bigger mainstream name than any of the the women in either company whether they want to admit it or not.

for this? why?

Been reported multiple times she can't take wrestling booking until January first, it's a month in advance partner tease and it's in LA. Ambitious and wishful perhaps, I'm not sure I'd say foolish however.

I also tell you this, I just watched the fightful post show and SRS did not even attempt to quench expectations when usually he's very quick to be "its not gonna be sasha". All he could say is he's still havent heard a damn thing about her going back to WWE and that she allegedly can take booking as of January. So I do think there is some smoke here

 

[Big Jean Studd]

unless you mean ppl working themselves into it HAVING to be Sasha and being mad when its not, then ya thats foolish

Think HHH painted himself in the corner with that and all the returns he was doing. Sasha is a huge name love her or hate her, didn't realize that was even an argument. If either company gets her that's a huge win. I'm of the opinion they need her and not the other way around at this point. She can pretty much do whatever acting, clothing lines etc. But the continued buzz will only push that too.

I agree with ALL of this, aew and wwe need sasha not the other way around, I fully believe this as well.

Regarding detractors, yeah unfortunately people who don't like Sasha as a performer have done lots of downplaying of her success and popularity. It happens on this board a lot too though I won't be a dick and make assumptions on the reasons why they do it

Yes lol expecting it like it's a given, not just entertaining the possibility.

 

[Chris]

Also being a month out I'm not sure if they even keep the mystery thing, I wouldn't be too surprised if it's revealed a week or two before if they need to curb expectations

yeah I really dunno why people do this and get mad when their fanatasy booked angles don't happen. do ppl do this with other media as often? I know ppl fanatsy book stories but it seems the worst with wrestling fans lol

I think that would wise as I said above, if it's not going to be as huge as ppl speculating, best to throw some water on it so you dont get the performer boo'd. like even if it's trinity you gotta quench that a bit because id feel horrible if she got a neg reaction
