Good show. A bit shocked they didn't try to rotate people from the hard cam side over to the other to fill some of the more noticable empty seats.

This is getting ridiculous now. Tony needs to step in or else any talk of inclusivity is pure bullshit.

What can Tony do? He has no control over Saraya's boyfriend being a complete asshole.

It was an awesome event to be at live.
It's going to be on ITV 4 this Thursday (For the UK Fans) not only am I going to relive it but will have the benefit of commentary to pick up things.

Well I mean the easiest thing Tony can do if Saraya keeps this up and doesn't chill is... not re-sign her, because her deals up in like a month

She's the only "all-star" signing they've made that's been completely useless and added nothing to the product. No real bumps to audience engagement, no particularly good matches, no storylines that were even slightly memorable. She's been a total bust.

Break from work, just rewatched the main event, this time with spanish commentary, since Carlos Cabrera is now in AEW and he's basically the voice of my childhood.
Somehow, some f***ing how I got even more emotional this time lmao.

Ospreay's entrance has gotten a lot of attention outside the wrestling circle. IGN and some others covered it.

Even before all this I thought re-signing Sarah’s would be dumb. Her run has been garbage.

I've found Saraya generally inoffensive, very funny at times at ringside and think she's had some underrated matches. Equally though I'm sure she's being paid way more than what she's providing would merit and it's almost impossible for her to get much better. If she's acting the dick as well then yeah, definitely don't re-sign her.
Also if the implication is that Jamie's return didn't make the main show because they didn't want to put Saraya on there due to her contract status then fire Saraya immediately. Out of a cannon.

No real bumps to audience engagement, no particularly good matches, no storylines that were even slightly memorable. She's been a total bust. I don't entirely agree, in so far as I think there was a time when she played her part (like losing the title to Shida), but I also feel like it wouldn't be a major loss, since yeah, she's toxic and kind of did everything they set out to do with her already. With how stacked the women's division is, it's not like any vacuum she'd leave wouldn't quickly be filled, and she can go spend all her time with her dumbass boyfriend who's determined to lose an open and shut lawsuit. I'm sure WWE or Impact would probably roll the dice on her, but it isn't like she can cry foul if AEW decides they're content to let her walk.

Saraya: "My boyfriend isn't transphobic because he had Gabbi Tuft in a music video"
Ronnie: "Shut up you they/them paedophile"
Saraya: I'm also going to scream about they/thems for some reason"

Meltzer's ratings, assuming Reddit is correct.
Sixteen-man tag match 3.25
Nightingale/Ishii vs. Hathaway/Statlander 3
Undisputed Kingdom/Cage of Agony vs. Von Erichs/Rhodes/Guevara/Shibata 3.75
Four-Team London Ladders Match for the AEW World Trios Championships 4.5
Storm vs. May for the AEW Women’s World Championship 3.75
Hook vs. Jericho for the For The World Championship 3
FTR vs. Young Bucks vs. Acclaimed for the AEW World Tag Team Championships 4.25
Casino Gauntlet match 4.5
MJF vs. Ospreay for the AEW American/International Championship 5
Baker vs. Mone for the AEW TBS Championship 2.5
Perry vs. Allin, Coffin match for the AEW TNT Championship 2.75
Danielson vs. Strickland for the AEW World Championship 5.25
Dynamite Page vs. Ishii 4.5
Conglomeration plus Hook vs. Learning Tree plus Strong 3.5
Fletcher vs. Ricochet 3.5
Seems all over the place to me, Toni vs May deserved more than many of the matches that outscored it, especially the tag title match. MJF vs Ospreay was good but seems a very generous 5.

I don't disagree with most of those ratings. I'd give the Gauntlet a 5 purely because of how much fun it was though.
My main gripe would be the ratings for the women's title match and the tag titles match. They should be swapped so Storm vs May gets the 4.25 and the tag titles get 3.75.
