Pretty solid. Dropped a few points for killing Wardlow's face turn He didn't look particularly happy/proud about what he did They need to do the turn soon. They were “teasing tension” back when it was MJF vs. Cody, and it feels like the story has been dragged out long enough imo.

My gut feeling is an 8. Mox/Yuta was fine though the winner was never in doubt, and I'm pretty intrigued with where they're going with the Mox/Danielson feud. Tag match was fun but needed more time IMO. Women's match happened. Archer/Hangman is fun but feels like filler, and two Dan Lambert segments in one show is a bit much even for someone like me who likes Lambert (and the less said about the Brandi mess the better). Main event was great but MJF winning with a ring shot is starting to approach "Usos run in for the DQ" levels of repetition. Not to mention the Wardlow dissention has been going on for a year and a half and I'm really wanting them to get to the damn fireworks factory already. A very good show but there were just enough issues to prevent it from being a great one.

Wasn't bad. Though at this point to me the Wardlow turn has been drug out too long and that same tired finish brings the show down.
And it's not oh MJF is a heel he's supposed to make you mad. It's much a like a lot of WWE stuff and I'm just tired of it and know it's coming so I won't waste my time next time.

I think tonight definitely was not the night to do the Wardlow turn, but it really it should've probably started being built to after All Out 2020. Don't know how that'd have worked in the long run because Wardlow certainly was not as over then as he is now but the storyline has gotten very stale, tonight just wasn't the time for it in the broader scope of things.
Speaking of All Out 2020 though, glad this time they realized that after spending the whole storyline looking like a useless idiot MJF should actually get a win at some point.

Don't know how that'd have worked in the long run because Wardlow certainly was not as over then as he is now but the storyline has gotten pretty stale, tonight just wasn't the time for it in the broader scope of things. I feel like it’s happening soon. Probably at Revolution, to me that’s the perfect time to do it.

8/10 for me. Great Danielson promo, Mox looked great, main event was PPV caliber, pretty much all of the show delivered.
Except the Lambert/Brandi segment, which was such a dumpster fire, I'm docking two points.

I gave it a 9. Loved the opening match and Danielson's promo took everything in a direction I wasn't expecting but I'm more than willing to see where it goes (I'm sure it'll be a match but the journey there should be fun)
I enjoyed the tag match and the women. The main event was excellent.
The Brandi/Lambert segment was horrendous and needs to go back to the 1990s.

Great show. Gave it a 10
- Solid opener, they made the best of it with the late replacement. Yuta took his chance and had a great showing. Bryan/Mox bubbling along nicely
- I can see it being Cody/Brandi v Scorpio/Paige at Revolution. I don't think anyone wants a 1 on 1 with Brandi/Paige
- good tag team match. House of Black looking strong
- Ruby/Nyla was good, much better than the match they had in the TBS tournament. Nyla gets the win, although that's another heel that looks strong over a face. The top 5 built up Women are all heels and I can't remember the last time a face won on Dynamite or Rampage. That's a huge problem. Why is TK so hesitant on building babyfaces?? There's legit 4 big stars that he refuses to push.
- Hangman/Archer next week should be great. I don't think anyone expects Hangman to lose but I think potentially we'll know his revolution opponent
- Main event was great. 2nd best aew match of 2022 behind Hangman/Danielson. Imo it wasn't as good as that but I can see this getting the 5 star treatment as well. Great match, I'm surprised Punk lost but I think this was the right decision.

I don't think anyone expects Hangman to lose but I think potentially we'll know his revolution opponent Feel like tonight pretty heavily telegraphed that with Cole randomly deciding to go after the guy who only exists to get his ass kicked to further Hangman's storylines.

If Paige Van Zant sticks with wrestling she'll be a big star...

Hangman/Cole is more than fine with me. If that's the plan then I don't think he should've lost to OC even though it doesn't count on the record. Could also see Miro returning, that's another option I guess.

Ok but realistically, the turn either happens at a PPV or the fallout of a PPV where MJF's plan fails... this wasnt the night to do it, cause this wasnt a feud ending match

I'd imagine what'll happen is Wardlow wins that stupid clusterf*** ladder match while MJF loses to Punk, MJF demands Wardlow hand his title shot over to him, Wardlow either actively refuses or acts kind of wishy-washy on it.
That said I think a problem you kind of run into with introducing the whole, "Any achievements Wardlow gets go to MJF," plot detail is that it kind of calls for Wardlow eventually beating MJF for the World title and, like, no part of that sounds at all necessary and I can't really claim to have any desire whatsoever to see either one as champion for the foreseeable future. Especially Wardlow, I have nothing against him but he's probably at best like the fifth most interesting big man on the roster.

The Women’s Division feels WAY too heel dominate right now. No babyface feels like they have any momentum.
And they really do not seem to know what to do with Ruby.
