7. Nothing wrong with the match quality, but some baffling booking decisions.
- Jericho with a belt in 2022? Why? - Ethan Page is doing a storyline where he goes after the comedic elements of AEW, while also chasing the All Atlantic title, priming him for a showdown with Orange. So... PAC keeps the belt through a heel turn of sorts? Or is he just the same old tweener? - Britt Baker stands tall over Toni Storm again, and Jamie Hayter does exactly the same spot as the other week since she's not allowed character development. - Moxley, the eternal makeshift champion. Why they didn't give this to Danielson I have no idea.

I really don’t have any complaints about the show. A fun 2 hours of wrestling television that I honestly would have paid $50 for.
I would have preferred OC and Danielson to have won, but I didn’t have an issue with how those matches played out.
Acclaimed/SIAG was not as good in ring as the last match, but the result was amazing.
I’ll go 9, overall. Not quite perfect, but damn good.

Jericho's been killing it, him with the ROH Belt will be good for that brand, especially if the TV deal is close Page I assume will keep getting built up, because PAC/Orange doesn't feel over with that finish Baker/Hayter is a weird one, it always feels like they're ready and they just don't do it, I guess Saraya coming in changed a few things I'd rather have Moxley carry the belt out of the drama zone and transition it to MJF than Bryan I guess. He's been on one of the best runs of his career since he came back

8. Not a Mox guy, but a fun show overall.

7. Not as good as I hoped it would be, with some baffling booking in places, but great main event and The Acclaimed got a huge moment.

6 I guess.
I like Jericho winning since it seems they are building to Garcia dethroning him at the first ROH stand alone show.
It seems like Pac/OC is still going on and OC winning will be big.
Tag match was great.
Saraya debuting was neat, the match not so much.
Main event, finish killed it for me.

A 9/10:
Jericho vs. Claudio was really good. Jericho winning makes me think ROH might be close to a TV deal. Chris Jericho as champion to start your show should bring more eyes in theory.
The Acclaimed won!! Aww yeah, scissor party.
Pac and OC have great chemistry together. Another fun match.
The Women’s stuff was, a mixed bag. The match was good and Toni winning was the right call. But right now she feels like Jurassic Express did as tag champs. They’re winning title matches, however they feel like third wheels in other people’s stories. Not THE focus. Also this Hayter storyline is BAD. TK just REFUSES to progress it. He’s pulled this same fake out like four times now. Enough already.
As for Paige, it’s good to see her. I really hope she had been properly cleared if she’s going to try and wrestle though.
The ME was awesome. And Mox is the Ace of AEW.

Also, I gotta give a lot of credit to Swerve in how easy he leans into the heel role. He's great at it. The inevitable feud between him and Keith Lee is going to be a banger.

Easy 9. The women's match ending pissed me off despite the right winner and Saraya's appearance and would have preferred Danielson winning. But Mox winning isn't a huge negative and I get why he's the go to for the title atm. After the interim stuff and Punk's bs, it's good to have a bit of stability.

Honestly it's kind of a show I'm having a hard time reconciling my opinions on because for the most part the show itself was pretty good but it also kind of feels like it really spelled out that nothing on the horizon for this company interests me at all right now. None of the people I'm actually invested in are winning anything of consequence any time soon and all there is to look forward to is unstoppable super heel MJF being champion for a year while endlessly going on and on about, "You guys hate WWE, right?! I'm taking the belt there!" and I just don't want any part of that at all. Think I might bounce from AEW until after Full Gear and see if anything happens afterward that'll reinvigorate things for me because right now this company looks like an utter slog to get through going forward.

7..Great presentation tonight outside of the camera work but weird decisions, the always pointless referee work, and finishes brought down a white hot crowd for me. Also couldn't we have checked in on MJF one more time?

I gave it an 8. I really hated the first 3 matches in a row not having a clean finish. That really annoyed me. But the other parts of the show were great.

8.5/10. Great crowd and great night of wrestling. Bryan definitely should have won though.
