B-. And closer to a C+ than B. It fell off a cliff for a bit after Punk got hurt in LA. Hopefully AEW can bring some non belt related stories to the table this coming year. Seems like things are pointing in that direction so hopefully they keep it up.

B sounds fair to me. Definitely their weakest year, but a lot was caused by things out of their control, and the PPVs were still mostly great. Really need to focus on the women more for 2023.

B+.
I think the lead up to Revolution had a lot of insanely good matches with the only real complaint being is they waited a bit to long to set ho Adam Cole vs Hangman Page which kind of made the angle going into the ppv a big rough.
The build to Double or Nothing was great but MJF's disappearance took a lot of steam away from the ppv and hurt Wardlow.
The lead to Blood and Guts was great.
Injuries starting compiling in the summer and while there are still some top notch matches up until All Out, I'd say creatively AEW was a C- or D at that point where there was just way too much stalling.
You then had a great built to All Out but the Punk/Elite situation took a lot of good will from the show.
I think the booking went back to B level for Full Gear and has been A level since.
