“I’m not just a dentist,” Baker
told the crowd. “I’m the future of this division.” securing her place at the forefront of AEW’s women’s movement. yes yes yes I can see gold in her future

I do love the changes to the early MJF/Cody dynamic whilst still keeping them a pairing. Also MJF vs Omega way earlier is quite a cool way to establish MJF early in the same way Darby getting to give a good showing versus Jericho did. Women's trios match was cool and I do wonder who will be the first champion with Nyla or Bea fitting the bill best out of their trio. Mox killing Pillman was cool, realistic for early AEW to make it an extended squash as back then Pillman was seen as someone who had potential. Curious where the Spears pairing with MJF goes but like Best Friends getting a win early on. Fun main event and I do like establishing at least for now the Lucha Brothers are also faces. Very good start and I am looking forward to fight for the fallen

I have to admit, even thought it's only the Buy In matches, I hate the match result being written before I read the match. Always been a pet peeve of mine. really ruins the intrigue of the match from a readers perspective (imo).

What I don't hate is the Super Smash Bro's/Catrina stuff you've got going on here. Clearly a slow burn over the first two shows, but is heading to what I'm assuming will be some sort of Dark Order spin off. Either way, what you're doing right now here is working.

Jericho over Darby with no shenanigans truly shocked me. Not necessarily saying it was good or bad, I just thought at the very least that Darby would be protected if he lost.

Love MJF causing all the trouble with Cody and Dustin. Everything around this hit the mark tonight.

Jonah Rock monster push, starting with destroying Sammy and bagging Tay Conti please.

I'm not big on Janela so not sure how I feel about Swerve (who I love) potentially considering his offer. I'm intrigued enough to follow it through though, as you've built some intrigue there.

Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed AJ trying to plant seeds of doubt with Cody regarding his relationship with the rest of The Elite. Very good.

Considering they are the big change of course compared to real life, AJ and The Club picking up the win here was 100% the right move. A fun chaotic finish with the hype for Lucha Bros/Bucks and Page/Storm. By the way, the booking of Hangman Page to face Cowboy James Storm is incredibly clever.

A solid stop on the way to a bigger show, and that All Out card is looking damn good so far.

Finally able to drop ACTUAL comments this time!

First off, Hangman vs James Storm is a match exclusively for me so I'm 100% on board for that direction. Same with the Bullet Club war between OGC and The Elite, its one thing I felt the group never capitalised on their civil war at all. Lucha bros making the save is a nice turn as well, all good stuff here.

Cody and Maxs dynamic being a bit more hostile and less trusting is different. Makes Cody look like less silly anyway until Max earns his trust. MJF being a nasty wee dick to Dustin as well, good shit.

Darby losing clean I don't have an issue with tbh. At this point he's a unknown and he's in there with Jericho, him giving Jericho a fight on its own giving him the rub at this point.

Mox squash is a Mox squash, not really much to say.

Haaaaaa get it up ye Sammy, Jonahs someone I've always been high on so hopefully the big man gets a big ol push and runs the midcard. Don't know if him murdering Sammy is showing he's a tweener long term or that he just doesn't deal with any bullshit, but I'm locked in on seeing what's up next. Also Jurassic Express win. Yay <3

Man, Awesome Kong fuckin rules. I hope you give the woman a lot better treatment than they've gotten in AEW as a whole. Rose at this point was still green as grass and I'm not at all into Bea, although her being a cheating coward is fun with the Kylie Rae run in you had going on. But yeah, all in on Kong baybee

As mentioned, a very good follow-up show to a very good start. I'll try keep up a lot more!
