So many options tonight. Thinking of going with the main event but there's so much to choose from.

Punk vs. MJF. Incredible in-ring storytelling and the people I saw the event with were hanging on every back-and-forth. There were audible gasps during some of the spots. We broke into applause when Wardlow turned on MJF. It was such an emotional ride from top to bottom.

To be honest, I'm torn between MJF vs. CM Punk and Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson, but seeing the former has three votes and the latter has none (as of this post)... I'm going to give Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson some love.

I'm going to give Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson some love. I voted the ladder match, for the same reason. Punk/MJF was an all-time great wrestling match, and amplified by the fact that it’s so damn wild that Punk’s on this comeback tour in the first place. But, man…that ladder match. It’s rare you see something with so many innovative spots in 2022. And, like, all my favorite dudes were in that match.

Yeah, on a night with so many great matches, there's great and then there's all-time-people-will-still-be-watching-this-decades-from-now great. Punk/MJF was that great.

Punk/MJF overall
Best Surprise: The Trios Match, especially given how everyone was like "IT'S NOT A PPV MATCH", they went out there to prove people wrong
Other 4 Stars or Above Matches: Eddie vs Jericho, The Tag Triple Threat, Ladder Match, and Cole vs Page

Punk/MJF.
Kingston vs. Jericho and the Tag Title Match would be #2 and #3.

Punk/MJF for me, that's a match that had me completely gripped throughout. It hit that perfect sweet spot of wrestling, where I was on edge from the danger, tense with adrenaline at the drama, and absolutely hyped because of the build.

Punk/MJF felt like early ROH. Not because Punk's music. Everything. The pacing. The storytelling. Even the Wardlow cameo. I could hear Dave Prazak and "Jimmy Bower" doing commentary in my head. An instant classic that I didn't have to wait four months to see.
The tag match was also classic ROH, albeit from a different era. Bucks, Red Dragon and a random third team blowin' minds for fifteen minutes. I found myself yelling "SUPERKICK!!" and name dropping Thunderbolt Patterson references like I was Steve Corino in 2015. That style will never get old.
If I have to pick between the two? I don't know. Don't make me.

Danielson vs. Moxley was amazing, but it was also very formula. A great formula that I love, and which often produces killer matches with talented guys where here the talent was absolutely there, but still very formula. An amped up version of a match they could have had on Dynamite, and I don't wanna undersell how much I enjoyed the match, but it had to follow a match I definitely would not see on Dynamite. Punk vs. MJF is going to go down as one of the best matches of its type. It's a match you know is special as you watch it.

Punk/MJF was the culmination of a fantastic feud, which wove facets of every part of it into a killer, brutal match.

Had to give Sting a vote for being an absolute madman.

Punk/MJF is my pick but it's going to be really fun in ten years when I'm still an old man on the internet hearing people go "You know what match is underrated? That Jericho/Kingston match from the show with Punk/MJF on it."

I went with the ladder match since it did such a good job of showcasing all 6 dudes that were involved

Punk/MJF but a bonus point for the ladder match which was way better than I expected and was booked really well and showcased everybody.

As pointed out, this is really hard considering the diverse range of great matches on the card and I honestly don't even think the lesser matches with less votes were bad at all, just competing against this stack of stuff.
Punk/MJF obviously takes this but I have a lot of love for Kingston/Jericho for how much it had no right or reason to be as good as it was. Danielson/Moxley was basically two guys beating the hell out of each other like bears in a forest, Cole/Page was a really fun and well put together world title match, the ladder match felt unique in a sea of many matches of the type and made me want to see what was next for everyone involved, both six men exceeded all expectations and I have some fun love for the women's title match. Hell, hot take, Jade/Tay was the funnest sprint I had seen since the good Goldberg/Lesnar WrestleMania match, they did a lot and it was never dull. And as I wrote that, I forgot the tag title match happened and that was an absolute blast.
I'll give my vote to Kingston/Jericho since it deserves to be higher in terms of ranking but yeah, Punk/MJF is a match people are going to be talking about for years, especially that ending.

I'm torn between the ladder match and Punk-MJF, but since SO MANY voted the dog collar match, I'll go with the ladder match. It was harder to book, but showcased everyone perfectly.

Based on the entire story surrounding the match? Have to go with Punk/MJF. However you can make a case for Eddie/Jericho, the Tag Title match, Page/Cole, and Mox/Danielson as 5 plus star matches and the Ladder match and Tornado match being 4 star or more.
