#2 Worst: The women's segment

This was not a good segment. Nyla Rose was being interviewed by Tony Schiavone and she cut a less-than-average promo as the new AEW Women's Champion. What was slightly awkward was when Big Swole called her "brother".

Either way, it's an indicator of how far AEW needs to go with the women's division. The talent is there, but there's no denying that virtually all of the best female talent in the world (minus Tessa Blanchard, Mayu Iwatani and a few others) have been snatched up by WWE.

There have been relatively weaker matches as well, with many fans never having been convinced of Riho as the AEW Women's Champion - despite the Japanese star playing a great underdog.

It was time for a title change and we hope that Nyla Rose can make some adjustments during her reign. The spotlight is on her now and it's her time to shine - so it's going to be a "sink or swim" situation for her.

She's set to face Kris Statlander next in what we expect to be a great bout.
