The Bang Bang Gang & the Dogs new Super faction is called the Last outfit...... And Here I thought WWE was bad with women, AEW is bad with naming new tag teams & factions. Bullet Club was right there.

  @MrAicrow Agreed, especially Roxxane Perez. this is not me being a Roxxane Perez Stan, but I feel like eversince debuting WWE has just thrown her away, like Jevon Evans is in a feud with an upper card faction, Sol Ruca won the women's intercontinental championship a over a month after debuting on the main roster, Jacy Jayne won the women's United States championship in august, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid won the Women's tag championships a month earlier in July, Trick Williams was on the main roster since June & has already won the US Title, Twice! Stephanie Vaquer was women's world champion Twice also, Giulia was women's US champ twice. But what about Roxxane? The women's tag titles do not count because she was just a replacement when Liv Morgan got injured. but since then she has been on a losing streak more wins than loses this year, I hope it changes by next year maybe the trigger she trust on judgement day happens at Crown Jewel.

  @Draysin Martin most of the NXT stars that only recently joined the main roster get more wins than those who i really think deserve those wins. I havent seen giulia win a single title shot or any match ever since she lost that title to tiffany stratton. roxanne perez face turn cldve also been great since finn balor was released from the judgment day.. and it still baffles me that tiffy won that mitb case again instead of either lola vice or roxanne perez (she cld cash on liv someday and turn face.) i really havent since jordynne grace since 2-3 months back which i find it upsetting because her skillset was actually good. do i even need to talk about how alexa looks like a jobber now? in this case i see Mr Aicrow’s point ab creatives losing their minds not knowing how to book the womens side of wrestling.
