Hobbs is absolutely one of the best unexpected pickups the company has, and I feel like they know it with how much TV time he gets. Dude came from nowhere and he's just amazing. Dude with no buzz, doesn't use a single move invented after 2000, big but probably still under 6'5"...talk about a guy that didn't have any one thing that would make him a standout, but also one of the smartest signings AEW's ever done after he got some positive responses on Dark episodes.

Wow legit shocking finish. I thought it was a given the Bucks were retaining. Congrats to Swerve and Lee.

Who said shock title changes can't be good? It's a Swerve we can all get behind.

No offense to Keith Lee, Swerve EARNED that win tonight with his performance in that match. He was the MVP as far as I'm concerned

I think the finish to this match will do wonders to making future title matches unpredictable. They did a shock win once, they can do it again.

I think everything was a pivot because I don't think Tony thought Swerve and Lee would be as popular as they were. Then you had JB getting injured and the Jeff Hardy thing. Either way well deserved

The Bucks getting the emergency transition reign was good, and these matches are when the false finishes matter, for when the Bucks DONT win
When I saw them both getting taken out on the outside by Lee's dive and Swerve going up, my 10 year old self kicked in, that "OH SHIT HE'S GONNA DO IT" kicked in
I love wrestling for these moments. This was a moment, a f***ing great one. Thank you AEW, for doing that for me still.

Props to these 3 teams for bringing this sht crowd to be active, if this was done in Chicago or NY it was a 5 stars match.
Congrats to Swerve and Keith Lee.

I figured the Bucks wouldn't have a long reign this time around and I guess this frees them up to face FTR probably at All Out.
As for the next champs, I'd go with Team Taz.

Wow. Was not expecting that.
Would have loved Starks and Hobbs to get it, but I'm not disappointed with this result either.

ME (before the match): Well, we all know who’s winning this, but I hope it’s fun.
ME (five minutes in): This is fun.
ME (10 minutes in): Huh. These near-falls are really believable even though I know the Bucks are gonna win.
ME (end of the match): Holy shit.
