Sammy Guevera is not a main event guy, yet he's closed more Dynamite's than anyone except maybe Darby, who also is not a great main eventer but continually closes Dynamite.
Scorpio Sky is not a main event talent and yet continually gets put to close Dynamite.
AEW's ratings are stalled because they keep forcing main events down our throat that taste like midcard. Tony so badly wants to be fair that it's stalling them out from progress.

Diversity isn’t a bad thing. But you can have talented and established talent take those spots. No one really complaints about Bianca Belair or Bobby Lashley being in their spots because they aren’t token spots. WWE has actually done a lot of good work in normalizing women and men from diverse ethnic backgrounds into pretty meaningful roles within the company.
Some of the women in AEW might be talented, but Mercedes Martinez and Deanna Purrazzo have not “earned” that spot yet. Hell, ROH hasn’t earned that spot within the company yet. Why is another promotion’s belt being defended in the main event of Dynamite? Some people just want to watch what they nominated to watch.
