Whoa, Windsor beat Itoh for the international title.
Funniest thing was her gear got lost at the airport so she’s wearing Chris Brookes kick pads lol

Wonder what the reason is behind the upset. I suppose it may be because Itoh has a few overseas bookings, enough to be not included in the upcoming tournament. Maybe they don’t want the title on her to keep booking flexible. Or maybe with travel easier it’s a chance for the title to return to original plans—Windsor can theoretically lose it to anybody overseas and it play international hot potato lol

The Goto training tactic didn’t work but Rika was great. Shoko continues to deliver in main events.

Wow, was expecting this to be a step below the other big princess shows but that was great. Two genuinely shocking title changes which had me buying into Shoka being choked out.
It was nice seeing how happy they all were to hear cheers and get streamers (so many streamers!). Except Alex Windsor who forgot her PE kit and had to wrestle in her underwear and kit borrowed from Chris Brookes so was understably grumpy.
Rosa's best match in ages and the other aew wrestlers seem unleashed in tjpw too.
Every match delivered but I think Miu Vs Ryo was my favourite largely for the crowd being so behind Miu and her swing.
Other random likes, many promotions think swearing is edgy but the least edgy of all has loads of shits and f-bombs, Aja Kong's happy Tony Khan hug, digs at Michael Cole, Shida's Dr Strange gear, Mei's wings, the 619 sequence, Miyu actually winning, the karate-chop off...

Subscribers up so more international cooperation in future which is great, gives a relatively small roster new things to do.
I've watched some older shows and it's crazy how much they've grown, hope it continues, they get even more English commentary/translations and prompts some other less accessible promotions to make it easier to watch (ideally live at a reasonable price).

I'm very fickle, Miu Watanabe is my latest favourite and I want her to win both the tournament and title (partially because Kamifuku and Misao are out).
Her front facelock spin (?) might be even better than the regular one.
Would love to see her in aew before she gets a reputation, jobber entrance, nobody cares and then she busts out the power moves.
Kiryu apologiaing for whatever cheating sociopath she's teaming with is an increasingly funny running joke.

Damn Miu has been killing it lately, she's so good and still only 22. Shoko has too but that's expected.
Yuka let me down though with her stupid no-selling.

Just seen on Twitter that Pom Harajuku is facing Max The Impaler.
It was nice knowing Pom…

Max Vs Pom deserved a "this is wrestling" chant. One of the best squash matches I've ever seen. Max should continue to terrorise the undercard until she gets to Raku and then Aja Kong comes to the rescue.
Miu continues her run of amazing performances.

Raku trying to force Pom back in the ring was great. I hope Miu wins. The Yuka “disrespecting” the younger wrestlers streak would be perfectly bookended by Miu beating her. Like I’m not gonna complain if it’s Yuka vs Shoko but that feels like going back to the well too soon and Miu is a very hot hand right now.

Dammit. Great match but Miu or Maki or even really need to win the top title at some point. Sitting up from the giant swing was particularly cool.
Max The Impaler fits so well, hope she becomes a regular guest.
Shame Brookes and Akki have been busy, not quite the same without them. Their commentary on Mad Vs Pom would have been hilarious.

Noa will kill it overseas. I don't think anybody but Saori Anou and Tam Nakano have better bridges. I wonder if the excursion could include an AEW stop
