Phew, might need to wait until tomorrow to catch the Okada match, that took probably everything out of me.

That was ridiculous. Very early match of the year candidate.

1. Amazing Match 2. Incredible Bumps! 3. Unexpected Winner! 4. Ospreay almost ripped of Kennys pants! Five Star Match! I won't be shocked if this puts Ospreay tied with Misawa for all-time 5 star matches from Meltzer. An aside, but I am kind of surprised Jay White's only received two so far. Maybe Okada can get him a third.

Worth the admission that was. I'd been pretty, "Eh, it's been good but dunno if I'd have paid the money and time for this," on the show to this point but that alone justified it and then some.

White is the only man to have a winning record against Okada.

If you're worried about any of the blows to the head Will took in that match, he has a story of a time he got into a headbutt fight with a goat and won.
No I'm not joking.

If they do Forbidden Door again this year and run this back I'll drop the money on it. Khan said it is all but confirmed to be happening That's potentially your headliner match now that Kenny actually has the US Title.

Bryan's gotten a couple since, the Hangman match and I think the Kenny one.

Kenny will try and hold two belts again at the same time next week when The Elite face Death Triangle for the AEW Trios Titles.
There's a good shot it happens

Feel like Okada's modern robes tend to look way lamer than his old ones.

I love how the light made this coat look like Inokis and once the Light stopped shining on it the Dollars on there became visible. Such a design!

If Omega defends the IWGP US Belt on AEW TV, he'll be the third man to do so after Mox and Archer
That's definitely become the belt New Japan likes using to promote good will with AEW the most, maybe now that they have a TV Title, Joe will eye it up lol

With Roman and MJF getting so much attention lately, honestly Jay White's heel work is underrated. Dude deserved a better reign than he's gotten.

Something like Kenny vs Damo would be fun.
I expect Jay and Okada to have a different style of match to the previous, and I expect the crowd to be fully absorbed and eventually explode for it.
