Hager chokes out Dustin.
Also, AEW announces it's own version of Wargames, for a PPV called Blood and Guts in March
Darby vs Sammy is next
This shouldn't have been the opener. The wrong type of match and way too long.
I don't get why they had babyface Dustin do the creepy forced kiss thing? At least when Ric Flair did that to Becky Lynch, he was supposed to be a heel.
Darby beats Sammy
Sounds like the tag match is next
there might be less to complain about but also less to be xcited about just as consistently.
"strongest alternative"?? XPW had a show even more different from RAW but that also didn't make it better than AEW or NXT.
also no offense but considering your constant defense of WWE booking, policies, and practices it's hard to put much stock in your opinion that the best alternative to WWE is another WWE product, to be honest i'd be shocked if you didn't feel that way.
Page and Omega win it
Women's title is next
Nyla retains.
Time for Cody vs. MJF!
Damn, MJF won.
PAc vs. Orange Cassidy should be next
Well...that was a crap finish.
Anyway, Main event is next
And we have a new champion!
Dustin vs. Hager, it was a fine match. But it shouldn't have opened the show. Also that kiss spot made Dustin look creepy for no real reason.
Sammy vs. Darby, Now THIS match should have been the opener, wow! Also nice win for Darby, hopefully it's the start of something for him. Also Sammy looked great as well. With guys like these, Jungle Boy, MJF, etc, AEW should definitely have a midcard title in the future I think.
Tag Match, this was entertaining AF.
Nyla vs. Kris, was, decent. They had a tough act to follow after the tag match, but they tried. Also this match was barely promoted and only set up like a week ago, which didn't help. Honestly I wish that I bought Nyla more as a monster. But this match really doesn't make her come off as one, that powerbomb botch was bad. The fact that they've had her lose a lot, including twice to tiny Riho, doesn't help. Riho vs. Kris II would have been a far better match.
Cody vs. MJF, honestly Cody came off as more heelish than MJF did. And somehow Dustin came off as more creepy earlier than MJF and Wardlow did here as well.
Pac vs. OC, it was fun. OC is entertaining. And Pac=Future AEW Champion, make it happen.
ME, Absolutely the right call. Jericho was a fantastic champion, but Moxley winning her was the logical move. Also Aubrey Edwards is fantastic. She knows JUST how far she can ham it up without going too far with it.
Overall, a really entertaining show.
