AND ANOTHER THING! It’s bothering me that Mox is the first to kick out of Takeshita’s raging fire. Takeshita didn’t need to give him that in a match he was losing, Mox didn’t need to be the first to kick out of his finish. Unnecessary salt in the wound.

The way Horner and Marko spoke about Yuki. Fuck them. I’m extra glad they’re gone. Sad they can’t be fired twice.

Actually, where I think the Hangman Page “I won’t challenge for the belt again” thing goes is something comes up like Will Ospreay wins the championship and is like, “Oy, Hangman Page beat me in the Owen last year, and I can’t call meself champion until I beat the cowboy, bruv.” And after weeks of Hangman ducking it and keeping true to his word … he finally accepts the title shot to a huge pop from the crowd.
And this sends MJF absolutely off the deep end because he has been right the whole time that the crowd will excuse Hangman’s behavior and let him get away with things MJF never could.
Or something like that.
Regardless, I think:
Hangman goes back on his word.
The crowd loves it.
MJF loses his shit over it, and rightly so, unfortunately enough.

okay blowing up my spot maybe because I saw someone say Al-Hashimi isn’t threatening Robby’s job. Yes, she is. She may be an unwilling and/or unwitting threat to his job, but she is a threat to his job. Here’s how we know:
- Robby is disliked by the brass. Although we haven’t seen Gloria this season, we remember last season when he was in constant trouble throughout the day. This puts his job in question. They may not be able to outright fire him but they can harass and deny him support until they drive him out. I’ve been in workplaces where this happened.
- Al-Hashimi has presented herself as competition. She arrived earlier than expected and before Robby. Without consulting him, she implemented changes in policy (using AI, patient passports, new expectations about charts.)
This is his ER. This isn’t about her “submitting to his authority,” this is about being respectful to someone who is your equal. When someone is your equal, you collaborate. You come in and show them “here’s this patient passport I made, what do you think? how would your staff respond to this? would this be helpful to you?” She didn’t do that. She imposed her changes. And yes, she said she wanted his advice and I feel a little bad for her because I think she came in with respect for him and really did want his feedback, but implementing first isn’t good leadership or good management on her part! - An interim’s job is not to make a lot of changes. An interim’s job is to keep things running smoothly. Have you ever had a new boss come in and change everything without getting to know the staff? Did you like that? Did you respect that person? What if they were only going to be there for three months? Why is she doing this if she doesn’t think she’s permanent? I think she means to be helpful, but I completely understand if Robby sees this as an attack on his leadership. His leadership is under attack from the board constantly.
- She’s giving contradictory instructions while he’s here. Her first day should have been observing the ER and watching how Robby does things. NOT out of deference to Michael fucking Robinavitch but to provide quality leadership to the staff of this ER. I have leadership training. I have working experience. When you come into a new community, you need to get to know that community before you make changes.
You’ve got Santos running around with Mom telling her to do her charts right now and Dad telling her to do them later. Santos shouldn’t be expected to change to Al-Hashimi’s expectations on day one! It’s not fair to HER. And it communicates to Robby that she doesn’t respect him, she doesn’t respect that this is his ER, and she doesn’t respect her temporary position here. It’s possible that none of that is true, but it’s the message she’s sending. It’s what I would think if I were Robby. Just because they have equal status as doctors doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t approach him as the expert in his staff! She hasn’t asked him one damn question about how he does things. That’s not about gendered power that’s just how you transition leadership. I would also expect a man coming into this ER to spend his first day observing and asking questions. - The board told her about the cyberattack before Robby! You can tell this was wildly inappropriate because even Al-Hashimi was uncomfortable and immediately reassuring Robby that she didn’t intend for them to do that. I don’t necessarily think she came in gunning for his job but if she hasn’t figured out at this point that something is wrong here she’s a fool.
Is Robby handling any of this well? No, he’s being a little bitch about it. He should have said first thing, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting you here so early. Can I get my bearings and then we can talk about the passports?” instead of avoidantly pretending to be fine with everything. He had another opportunity at “Why are you treating me like a resident?” to say “I feel like you’ve overstepped” but avoided it again. Who is surprised? That man’s one move is escape.
But seeing people act like Al-Hashimi has been perfectly respectful and in her lane drives me crazy. This is an insane way to act as an interim. “Diversity win: The new boss pissing territorially over everything is a woman!” That’s how y'all sound to me. They’re both behaving terribly and I won’t defend either one of them. In the middle of their pissing contest is a staff with no leadership. That’s who I sympathize with.

AEW love to do themework in their ppvs. Between MJF/Hanger, Bucks/FTR, Stat/Thekla and Brody/Swerve, the theme of this one seemed to be you can give it absolutely everything you have and still lose. I wonder if we’re going to see some heel turns in the near future. I wonder if we’re getting that Hanger/Swerve tag team but evil.
