00:00Hello and welcome to another round of wrestling predictions on the internet.

00:10Well, my name is Benjamin Jackson and I'm joined by Alex Nelson to talk through our

00:14predictions for AEW All in London taking place this Sunday at Wembley Stadium in, well, London.

00:23It's plenty of title matches that we're talking about regarding our predictions for AEW All

00:28in London, which is taking place this Sunday at, where else, but Wembley Stadium.

00:34We've already spoken about the AEW Championship, the World Championship versus Bryan Danielson's

00:41career.

00:42Got it right that time, Alex.

00:44We also have spoken about Will Ospreay, local Essex boy, against Mr. All-American himself.

00:51It feels at the time, MJF, but I mean, we've got to talk about both the women's title matches,

00:59don't we?

01:00And for casual fans, you might be familiar with this next name that I'm going to bring

01:03up, Sasha Banks, Mercedes Venado, or as she's now known as an AEW, the CEO, Mercedes Monet.

01:13She is defending the TBS title against Britt Baker.

01:18Do it with me, everybody, DMD.

01:23I don't know about this one.

01:26It's a weird one because I want to be engaged in the storyline itself, but it's kind of

01:31hard with wrestling fans probably watching this, not to talk about the whole Britt Baker

01:37suspension and how that's played into the storytelling about it.

01:42Do you think that brief time that Britt Baker was taken off TV because of a suspension has

01:48kind of hindered the storytelling of this feud a little bit?

01:54I'm not sure.

01:55I think they're both two prominent characters within AEW's women's division.

02:00I mean, Britt Baker is almost a sort of homegrown talent.

02:04She's been there essentially from the start.

02:07Yeah.

02:08You know, successful runs with various titles in the past, a big name in the division.

02:13Mercedes Monet obviously carrying the same sort of weight, you know, post WWE and things

02:20like that.

02:21So both top stars.

02:24I think the booking, you know, in a lot of these matches, but specifically this one could

02:29have been handled a lot better.

02:30But again, yeah, that was sort of hindered slightly by the suspension.

02:36But yeah, it's another one where it's difficult to call who's going to win.

02:41Yeah.

02:42I mean, I'm probably going to draw the ire of the internet wrestling community when I

02:46say this, but the other women's title match we'll be talking about on our next video has

02:51a lot more appeal for me.

02:53And it goes into that whole comedic kind of cartoonish storytelling when it comes to timeless

02:59Toni Storm.

03:01I just can't get engaged in the storyline.

03:03I do feel for Mercedes Monet.

03:07I think she gets quite a bum rap on message boards and on subreddits.

03:13You know, one only has to take a cursory look at r slash scjerk to see what people's opinions

03:19are of what they call it now, kind of like Fiat Pesos or any name under the sun that

03:26they want to give Mercedes Monet.

03:29But I do think that it does feel a bit stop start this feud that it's just taken me out

03:36of it a little bit.

03:37I enjoyed the idea of Mercedes Monet, this outsider coming in from the WWE, she used

03:43to be one of the four horsemen along with Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Old Bailey

03:50when she was a hugger.

03:52And I like that aspect of this grandeur.

03:57I'm better than you because I came from a bigger place and made a lot more money.

04:02But I don't think that's kind of translated as well.

04:05And I think it's unfair that people are saying that her promo skills, her interviewing skills

04:11are awful because, I mean, I know it's an open secret that there's no scripting involved

04:18compared to how heavily the WWE can be at times.

04:21But I just can't really get into this feud, to be honest with you.

04:26And I think part of that is because Britt Baker's suspension just, oh, where's she gone?

04:32OK.

04:33And with AEW's booking at times, it kind of feels like, oh, OK, we'll come back to that

04:38nudge, nudge, wink, wink, long term storytelling when it's like people might have forgotten

04:43it by now.

04:44So, yeah, I mean, it'll be a good match because let's be honest with each other, Mercedes

04:49Monet, when she goes, she can definitely go.

04:52She is an incredible wrestler, not an incredible female wrestler, just an incredible wrestler

04:57full stop.

04:58But you kind of need that momentum that a feud brings sometimes to kind of elevate it

05:04up just a little bit more.

05:06So, I mean, I'll give a prediction.

05:09Definitely.

05:10I think Mercedes Monet, because they've invested so much time and effort in building her character

05:16and bringing her over and making a big song and dance with her debut at a big business

05:21in Boston a year ago now, perhaps, but do kind of feel like booking wise in terms of

05:29how they used it, it's been a little bit of a fumble.

05:32And I worry that if they give Britt Baker the win, are they just going to, well, we

05:37tried with Mercedes Monet and it's not worked, so let's just put her down the card a little

05:43bit more and try and rebuild her.

05:47But I hope Mercedes Monet wins it.

05:50I think she will win it.

05:52Otherwise, you lose all that momentum, don't you?

05:56Yeah.

05:57And I think similar to the MJF match, the Ospreay match that we talked about earlier,

06:03I want to see Mercedes Monet win it because I think she'll get booed out of the building.

06:11But then again, similar to that last match, I think the TBS, I think Mercedes is beyond

06:17the TBS title, which is not the main women's title by any stretch.

06:22And again, should be sort of circling the world title.

06:25So does a loss here get that belt off her?

06:29Does a win add to her heat?

06:32Again, it's just, I think AEW perhaps bring it on themselves a little bit when there's

06:38all these moving parts and they don't exactly make it easy for themselves.

06:42I mean, perhaps trying to tell too complex storylines sometimes, perhaps.

06:47But yeah, my prediction is Mercedes takes this one, I think.

06:53Just a bonus kind of prediction.

06:55Should Mercedes win it, where does that leave Britt Baker in the kind of world, the ecosystem

07:00of AEW?

07:03Britt Baker will be all right.

07:07I'm sure they'll go out there and they'll just do their best to make each other look

07:10a million bucks, whatever the result.

07:14It's a big Wembley moment for her.

07:17Again, she could arguably not be around the TBS championship and be okay for it.

07:23So move her on to something else.

07:26It's just about who might be the next challenger for Mercedes.

07:29I don't really know who you'd put in there.

07:33No, because she's already gone over Willow Nightingale, I was going to mention.

07:38It seems that that was her first feud coming into AEW, pretty much.

07:42Yeah, and Willow Nightingale, I think, is due a rematch, I would say.

07:48I would hope so anyway.

07:49Unfortunately, she's only on the pre-show for Wembley in a sort of bizarre mixed tag

07:54random match.

07:56But yeah, to have her back in the mix would be good.

07:58She's a bit of a fan favourite.

07:59So we'll see.

08:01I'm going to make one more bonus prediction, that Mercedes-Monae has one of the biggest

08:06entrances. You could bring her out in a Bugatti or in England, bring her out in an Aston

08:11Martin for her entrance.

08:12That's what I'd like to see.

08:14A big red double-decker London bus.

08:16Oh, yeah, no, that'll do.

08:17Do you reckon Tony could afford that?

08:20Tony's got money for days.

08:22Tony didn't give me tickets to the show, though, did he?

08:26There's still a few days left.

08:27Oh, yeah, I'm watching you, Tony.
