The card is ok, it just desperately need a big interesting marque main event. Are we 100% sure Punk is off this?

When this show was announced I 100% expected it to be main-evented by MJF/Punk. For all of Punk's faults it would have been a hot match. Had he kept things professional and actually been a leader then maybe MJF would've agreed to it, but that went sideways immediately when he strong-armed Steel's rehiring before even making it back to TV (much less everything afterward).
Omega/Takeshita is a match I really want to see but not enough to pay $50 alone for it. Chicago's been done to death so the atmosphere isn't intriguing. If something gets pulled out of a hat on Collision we'll see.

I actually think this PPV will be absolutely great.
Mox vs OC and Omega vs Takeshita should both be incredible matches.
It's just the placement of the show that makes it seem b level. Plus no World Title main event

What could they do with Starks now? Dude deserves something after missing All In. I wouldn't mind seeing Hangman show up on Collision and set up a match for PPV. Not sure if they have ever faced each other before

I don't think comparisons to Payback are particularly apples to apples. You could get every WWE PLE between now and next July for the cost of this show.
As for this card, it definitely feels like there's more obvious filler and some pretty heatless matches. However, as is always the case with AEW, there are enough great wrestlers that I'm sure anyone who does buy it will enjoy.

Looks like a decent show, but it's hard for me to put down $50.00 for another PPV just a week after a huge one this past Sunday.
I'll pass.

Thing is, you have to pay $50 for this show, a week after you also paid $50 for All In. That’s a lot to ask of people. You don’t have that with WWE shows.

A depressing two womens matches to 14 mens matches across 2 PPVs in back to back weekends. Maybe one gets added on Collision but I aint holding my breath.
Other than that, there is a lot to like on this card.

TK said he's trying to get Athena vs. Billie on the card but he's waiting to see if the latter is cleared to compete for Sunday.

this seems like a really quick turnaround between this ppv and the the last ppv, i think should have given this a little more time to build.

Ok, I'm genuinely excited for Joe/Taylor, Miro/Hobbs, and Omega/Takeshita. The eight man should also rock, and Stat vs. Ruby should be a good time.

Card looks just ok so far, light in terms of matches I'm invested in..but im sure it will deliver in some form.
Another question would be what does Keith Lee have to do, if he cannot even get on the card in situations like this? Not even sure of his current status (injured?)

Other than that, there is a lot to like on this card. I only know of Stat/Ruby, what's the second one? The world title 4-way from All In. I was pointing out that between 2 PPV main cards (All In & All Out), totaling 18 matches, it's 2 womens matches to 16 mens matches (I got it wrong in my initial post actually, its an even worse ratio than I first said, ffs)

Needs a gimmick match or two. The TNT title match should be a ladder match or something. Maybe the Bullet Club Gold and FTR/Bucks as no DQ
