Bobby Buffet is a heavyset Black man, maybe 325-350 pounds, and he carried his title belt and a trophy cup; he’s been champion 264 days, and he’s the beloved babyface here.

Breakker is a natural heel, while Hayes is off to a really good start as a babyface.

Delirious and the henchmen, who actually wrested in a trench coat, attacked both babyface teams.

Despy in, running hot, fighting Gates of Agony off with aplomb, babyface team with the Best Friends snap zoom hug but it’s a mistake and Desperado gets planted with a powerbomb and laid out with a kick and only saved by Romero!

Eventually, the babyface hero does overcome the all-conquering heel, no matter how impossible that seems.

Hook had Jungle Boy beat with a countout victory, but like a true babyface, he tossed Jungle Boy back in the ring.

I don’t want to see a mixed tag team feud with Gargano and Candice LeRae against Lumis and Cross, but at least Gargano would be done playing sidekick to the babyface serial killer.

It helps that he’s not turning into a white meat babyface either.

It was quite frankly weird to see Konosuke play a babyface role, being as other AEW storylines (like the zombiefied Skye Blue) were part of the show.

Late change babyface picks up the win, that’s the rule and I don’t see a reason to deviate from it when Dom can just whine his way into a rematch and get it back cheap again.

McIntyre continues to overplay his hand as a babyface, for now, as McDonagh used Judgment Day interference to work over McIntyre’s leg.
