    I kind of agree with Dave on this one. As of now, aside from the very green OWE roster, there isn't all too much depth to the AEW landscape right now. There are big indie names for sure, but it's not a deep pool of talent.

    I think it's a mistake to segregate based on weight class when you're a promotion like AEW. At best, you'll raise both divisions up as world championships in a very MMA way while segregating your talent with unnecessary borders that could prevent fresh dream matches happening down the road. At it's worst, you have a very thin guideline for a roster that's ultimately mostly Light Heavyweights anyway. Weight divisions may be my biggest agitation and resignation with New Japan. It's unnecessary to divide your roster up like that, especially when the guide lines to what makes someone a Junior Heavyweight are so vague. Ultimately it boils down to being considered a midcard talent, and that stigma might've just cost them one of their most prolific pillars of the midcard division in Kushida. It's just pointless to spread the roster that thin for the sake of nothing more than a concrete caste system that's only based on kayfabe rules that make no sense.

    BA: No. While I do think they'll have a women's singles title, I think it would be wise to keep the tag belts open for intergender competition. They signed Joey Janela and Penelope Ford, a couple that's made their names with intergender tag matches on the independent circuit. Both are good wrestlers, but their parts aren't as great as their sum as a tag team.

    All Elite Wrestling barely has enough professional wrestlers for one division.

    Why bother with a tag-team division when the whole promotion is The Young Bucks & The Bullet Club?
