7... I feel like the first half of hour two was too heel dominated.

Edit: I forgot there was an entire first hour beforehand. My score doesn't change, but at least my criticism has some proper context.

[Fade]

Like a 6

[Cyno]

I have no idea how to rate this. The good was really good and there was more good than bad, but the bad was really bad.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

9.

AEW has actually been better than it has been in months since Scrumgate, to me.

I'll probably die on the hill but I still don't think the decision reversal was really bad

It was weird but like it made sense and was a domino effect thanks to Jericho cheating to win a title built around honor

A 7.5/10:

The Opener was wild and fun. But I hope Sting and Julia are ok.

Fenix vs. JB and Sammy vs. Eddie were both really good. But the finish to the latter was very stupid. I’m burnt out on the JAS stuff honestly.

The Jade match was, nothing. And it being the ONLY women’s match on the show and being so short was ridiculous. The TBS Title feels like the most meaningless belt in AEW. It’s just the Jade Cargill accessory belt at this point. Also the Jade stuff is just boring at this point. No one is helped by facing her.

The Battle Royale was fun. Mox vs. Hangman should be really good.

Starks and Hobbs were put in a bad spot, but they put on a fun match anyway.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

7/10. Not bad, but I preferred Dynamite this week.

I wasn't really that upset about that, actually. Like, I got to see Eddie Kingston murder Sammy and this could lead to a new angle about Kingston confronting his inner demons. Also Tony Khan on Twitter being like "Well, I did ask for this. Shit. Still f*** Sammy" was hilarious.

A lot of the first hour (besides a solid opener) was "just there" for me, though. And Trina, especially in contrast, to Action Bronson going the extra mile for his effort, looked awful especially after another foregone conclusion of a Jade Cargill match. Though JR and Jericho's reaction to that was pretty funny. Battle Royal was also a mess (and not in the fun wrestling way) until it was down to Hangman vs. Rush, with the only real highlights being the Paul Wight/Jericho commentary and the Dalton Castle elimination save by the Boys.

Have to give it a 5 or 6 especially if I'm grading it on the same scale as dynamite. Wasn't terrible just a filler show with some scary spots.

[Duke Cameron]

Didn’t watch

[Mozenrath]

9, though if there wasn't Muta, it'd have been an 8.

[Cieto]

5.

I feel they should have stuck to the one hour. Outside of a few matches, everything just felt thrown together.

My lowest AEW show rating to date.

[Mid-Carder]

Maybe I was just in a better mood when watching it but I think I actually enjoyed this more than Dynamite

[champchumpchange]

Didn’t watch

[kingoftheindies]

I fell asleep halfway through the battle royal but from what I saw I'll give a 7. Just felt like too much going on

[clifford]

This was a blast from start to finish. Loved it way more than Dynamite this week. 9/10

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

9 - one of the best Rampage tapings I've been to. Felt like an extra Dynamite.

[asuka007]

The JAS stuff has jumped the shark at this point.

It’s like the worst parts of the NWO, but without the cool parts in there as well.

I'm with you. So I guess if I had to call it as a whole, I'd give it a 6.

Sting and Darby vs HoB = a fun car crash complete with MUTA!!!!! I just hope Julia Hart is okay.

Hook and Action Bronson vs 2.0 = Could have been awful, but everybody knew their role here and they kept it short and sweet. Action Bronson deserves a lot of credit for being a celebrity who "Gets it"

War-Joe vs Sterling's Jobber Express = eh, it was fine. It was all building to Mark Sterling eating a powerbomb. We got there.

Jungle Boy vs Rey Fenix = Good match that bordered on great. TK obviously has things in mind for JB, but I hope he knows what a special talent he has in Rey Fenix, too.

Eddie Kingston vs Sammy Guevara = This is where shit went off the rails. A fun, cathartic match that could have been used to get Sammy off TV for a soft reset. Dusty finishes sucked 40 years ago, don't start them now.

Diamante vs Jade = Why was this on Grand Slam, again? Trina was the anti-Action Bronson, and Jade has completely cleaned out the women's division save for the 3 or 4 that are always in the main title hunt.

Battle Royale = After the whole Punk drama, I feel like this is a "Make good" to Hangman Page's booking. He's another one that TK better be thankful that he has, because Hangman is almost as reliable as Mox in terms of looking like a champion, in my opinion.

Starks vs Hobbs = It needed more time, but goddamn am I here for fiery babyface Ricky Starks. Hobbs will be fine, since Starks had to practically decapitate him with a light fixture to get him down.
