Main Card Matches Review-ish
Eddie Kingston finally won the "big one" against Chris Jericho, congratulations to him on that achievement, I genuinely mean that, what is more impressive is he did that with no help from Santana & Ortiz.
Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus are still your tag team champions, overcoming the challenge from Young Bucks and Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly, if I am being honest, the AEW booking team gave away the winner of this match from the recent episode of Rampage, after Luchasaurus stopped Kyle playing air guitar with the title belt.
Wardlow won the Face of the Revolution Ladder match, he managed to grab the Sonic the Hedgehog Ring in order to earn a future title opportunity for the TNT Championship, I've seen many Ladder Matches over the years, this wasn't anything unique that hasn't been seen before, credit to the participants for putting on a quality match, however, it must be said, Keith Lee looks like he is losing star power already and is going to be lost in the shuffle, unless the creative team pushes him towards the main title picture.
Shane Strickland is now All Elite. AEW is now "Swerve's House" it will be interesting to see who he wrestles on his debut match.
Jade Cargill has taken her undefeated run to 29-0 after defeating Tay Conti to remain TBS Champion, Conti has been portraying heel like characteristics as of late, perhaps this is the start of her going in a new direction alongside Anna Jay.
The Dog Collar Match between CM Punk & MJF was a slow burner, until the closing moments, where Wardlow finally turned against his Pinnacle team mate and went on to kind of help Punk pick up the win, the match series is now at one win apiece, it would be cool if Punk vs. MJF 3 was for the AEW Championship at a later time. Very much looking forward now to seeing how MJF vs. Wardlow plays out over the weeks and months, possibly starting this Wednesday Night.
Danielson vs. Moxley was fantastic, both guys went into this one wanting to hurt each other in a competitive way, it is a shame the crowd did not really get invested here as much as other matches on the show, to be fair, the match took place nearly three or more hours into the show, so there is that aspect, however, they and myself included watching at home, were surprised to see former NXT General Manager, William Regal appear and seemingly form Bryan and Mox into a future team, something we would love to see.
The Co-Main Event was the trios tag match, the question was, could Sammy and Darby co-exist? just kidding, they, along with Sting, picked up the win over Andrade, Isiah Kassidy and Matt Hardy, after Darby hit a miss-timed "Coffin Drop" on Matt Hardy, who seems close to splitting up from Andrade and Kassidy, thus re-uniting with his brother Jeff, as early as this Wednesday, depending on when his no compete expires.
Adam Page vs. Adam Cole in the main event was decent, Hangman's title run has been okay so far, defeating his namesake here will definitely boost his credibility going forward, in terms of what is next for Bay-Bay? hopefully we will see him along with Fish and O'Reilly take on Omega and Young Bucks in a story, leading to a six man tag in May.
