Not surprised. With Double or Nothing a month away, I can imagine they were going to start building Punk/Hangman.

Sounds like they had plans for Hangman and Punk to start developing, oh well you can do that next week, this is a solid card regardless.

And honestly, one of the big strengths of AEW right now is they do seem like they're hurt the least by unexpected absences or injuries. Like, if Meltz didn't point it out and if Hangman didn't flat out say he was out sick, I bet we'd barely notice.

I feel like with how AEW works it's really not fair to treat the opening match as curtain jerking. It doesn't have the ring on paper of the main event, but it's a combination of knowing that the crowd will be fresh and knowing that you can pretty much go timewise without worrying about getting rushed for the end of the show. Also it still beats the hell out of opening with a 20-minute promo or with, I dunno, Chavo vs. Hornswoggle Round 15. AEW has put title matches into that opening spot before, and not even just filler ones either. They've definitely put a lot of stock into the idea you can start the show on an important match. Maybe not always the most important on a given show, but you're never disrespected for it.

Of course Shida and Deeb don’t get to ME. I should not be surprised.
For as good as this feud has been, AEW has never given it the “epic” presentation

Look, we all know Red Velvet is going out in the first round, but she qualified for the Owen too, so why leave her out of these interviews? Ruby and Shida, too, so it's not like it's only one person being excluded. (Shida has a reason to not be included, but it's still probably unwieldy to get everyone but Shida into a segment.)

Any chance this ends in a draw?

Man these two are just great wrestlers
I feel like they could both be great singles wrestlers, if they ever wanted to be

Love how the crowd isn't cheering for one over the other. FTR chants are perfect
