Vaquer delivered an excellent performance. This has put Vaquer on the radar of many AEW fans would who like \u201cLa Primera\u201d to be a regular feature of AEW\u2019s developing women\u2019s division. In beating the Chilean native, Mon\u00e9 has re-written history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not painted in the sky in bold letters, Mercedes has picked up from her devastating ankle injury against Willow<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Nightingale <\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">where she lost the opportunity to be the inaugural NJPW Strong Women\u2019s Champion. After avenging her loss against Nightingale, claiming the TBS Championship in the process and beating Vaquer, Mercedes has the championship that seemed destined for her waist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Her Double Championship Celebration may not last too long, just like her victory at <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Forbidden Door<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. After last week\u2019s<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Dynamite<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> where MJF and Daniel Garcia came face to face after both were advertised to speak in separate segments, do not be surprised if Mercedes is interrupted again.

Teased from <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Big Business<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> with the CEO&#8217;s hand gesture, there is a natural story. Baker has defended the division before against outsiders who felt they were bigger than the homegrown talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If this feud stretches out until <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All In<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> more will need to be added to this rivalry. That\u2019s without considering the two titles Mercedes is carrying on her shoulder. Having been away for so long, let\u2019s hope Britt brings back the attitude, confidence and assurance that made her the face of the women\u2019s division.

The Bastard is aware that he is underachieving. With the possibility of competing in front of his home nation in Wembley Stadium, at an event he missed last year, PAC should be looking to give everything to this match. Mirroring PAC is Danielson. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bryan\u2019s high-profile losses on PPV since he announced the approaching end of his full-time career are a weight across his injured neck and shoulders. Danielson has never held gold in AEW. The American Dragon needs to defeat two more men to make this a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How far is each man willing to go? Brutality is coming. The potential devastation PAC might look to inflict on Bryan\u2019s neck and shoulders could destroy the Blackpool Combat Club member further. With his technical and bullying prowess, could Danielson be more than a match for The Bastard?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the end of the match, one man\u2019s dreams will be thrashed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><u><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">AEW International Championship: Ospreay vs. Garcia \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Daniel Garcia<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> has been racking up wins.

If this is the direction, I wonder if, after Ospreay\u2019s biggest loss, there is a chance Garcia will become the next AEW International Champion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is discounting the quality of wrestling between these two. Daniel Garcia is a prodigy. A wrestling savant whose technical skill blends into his storyteller with his body language and emotions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Whether it\u2019s a win or lose, Garcia pulls you into his corner.

Whenever Ospreay\u2019s next destination is heading into the summer. If and how that involves the International Championship is to be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The possibility of involvement, either before or after the match is a factor.

Similarly, <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don Callis<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Don Callis Family<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> may come back to prove a point to Ospreay.
