I get that unlike WWE, AEW wants to tell stories from bell to bell, leaving out all the backstage segments. In a sense, they have been able to strike a balance between professional wrestling in the classic sense and sports entertainment that Vince McMahon made famous with the men.

But maybe it's just me but I still feel like there's a disconnect when it comes to the women because there are no stories just yet. I get that Dr. Britt Baker and Bea Priestly don't like one another, but there is no reason for Emi Sakura, who was introduced as Riho's teacher, to face off against her.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

While this is an issue, I expect it to get rectified in the weeks that follow. Mind you, I enjoyed this week's match, but there's no sense of animosity of the kind you experience when Candice LeRae confronts Shayna Baszler.

The Joshis, in particular, need some very compelling storylines.
