I know that they are planning on having a house show attached to this event for the live crowd, so Im interested to hear what they came up for it.
As for the card itself, it should be very entertaining. I know some people feel “cheated” that it wasn’t the strongest card, which I get. I still think it was a mistake to schedule this the same week as the TBS premier, because that show got the real big matches, as it should have. So other than Britt vs Riho, nothing has been built up that much. BUT, it should still be a great show because those matches still look really damn good.

AEW is sponsoring a DSotR 4 episode marathon on Vice leading into Battle of the Belts. It'll be the Nick Gage, Kanyon, Grizzly Smith, and Herb Abrams episodes.

Dustin vs. Sammy seems like doing their best to make lemonade out of a hell of a lemon with what seems like Cody's COVID exposure. Interested to see what happens when Cody's cleared to come back.
Hoping Riho wins tomorrow as I think it can really freshen up the division, but then they also seem to be building to a Baker and Hayter split. So whether Baker finally loses the title or misery booking continues to at least Revolution can go either way.
Sydal vs. Starks comes off like a filler match on paper, but Sydal's pretty underrated at this point in his career. At the very least, it should be an entertaining match.

For future TNT Saturday cards, if one-hour shows are gonna be the model, I really think having a one-hour Buy-In for them would work best.

Well I guess no matter what happens, we're going to have at least one new champion tomorrow. Sammy or Dustin. Then when I assume Cody comes back, we crown the one true TNT Champion, maybe for the PPV?
Pretty good perk to having multiple TNT Champion belt designs huh?

I really hope Sammy wins, because I don't want to see Dustin vs Cody again.

Honestly, card is now looking way more appealing to me. Starks/Sydal should slap, and Dustin/Sammy really intrigues me and there's a load of ways they can go with this, as opposed to what was probably the original plan of Cody just going over Sammy again. Riho/Britt probably loses a bit of time to accommodate the extra match, but when everyone and their mother can see that Britt is retaining, that's probably also a good thing.

Interim champ is a UFC move to help build interest to a planned big card usually. Heck wouldn't surprise me if Cody wants this to lead to (I believe) AEW's first singles ladder match.
Could also mean that Cody is gonna be out an extended time (maybe due to his child they want to be extra careful)

I hope Dustin wins, he deserves a big win in AEW. Have no interest in Sammy winning. Has Dustin had any high profile wins in AEW? Feels like he's been purely a utility guy they keep warm but always use to have guys beat up before they face Cody.

Does the universe collapse upon itself? Even Coked out of his head Forbidden Door TC isn’t crazy enough to book that. He can create a lotta great stuff, but I don’t imagine creating a singularity that blinks existence out of being is on his Booking Wish List.

No having to f*** around with the app I keep checking my tv guide every week to see if Rampage finally gets added to their tv schedule. Hoping this, and Rampage on the app are doing good numbers to help our cause.
