Gargano’s gear was pretty next level last night once you take and look and see it was a mash up of all his other takeover gear. I’m way more sad about his impending leave then I thought I would be. I enjoyed DIY and always thought he was a great babyface but man this heel run with the Way made me a much bigger Gargano fan and I just hope wherever he goes treats him well.

As for KoR there’s a clear path already for him at AEW….half of UE is already there and a Elite vs UE feud would be great…the Von Wagoner turn while predictable was also very forced and made really no sense…it’s like every 2.0 person is a heel right now…

Not sure when Roddy, Dunne, or Ciampa’s contracts are up but it will be interesting to see what they do

LA Knight is primed to come up to the main roster any time now…

Dunne signed a new deal, Ciampa is getting his extended for the injuries and couldn't tell you on Roddy.

Womens WarGames was a really fun opener, was never gonna be a technical masterpiece but I thought it did the job of getting the event off to a good start. Still in shock that Cora isn't seriously injured and that it was used to set up a fake injury :trips8 I'm fine with the idea behind the finish, it just fell flat. You live and you learn.

Tag match was fantastic, they had me several times over with the near falls. Imperium are fucking studs with some of the shit they were pulling out here. Even Wagner looked decent, just gotta find something character / personality wise that will work for him.

Roddy/Gacy and Grimes/Duke definitely felt like cooldown matches but they did what they needed to. Right guys went over, though either guy winning the Cruiserweight match would have been fine.

Mens WarGames I really enjoyed, felt like all the guys got their shine in this and did it's job of putting the 2.0 guys over.

I really enjoyed the way Gargano and Ciampa slipped back in to their old roles basically in the match, it was really great. Johnny coming out to Rebel Heart and them working together like the DIY days. It popped me.

Roddy re-signed this year, he's not going anywhere unless he's released

Gotta think Roddy and Dunne might be moving up soon then. Not much else they can do in NXT. The rest of Diamond Mine could come with him too. The Creeds are bad dudes.

Ciampa I have no idea what the plans for him are though I know he’s been very much against going to the MR in the past

Ciampa doesn't want to travel and in interviews sounds like he'd rather be a trainer than go up. No idea what that means now though once he loses to Bron , it'll be interesting

I think the stand out of the night is Aichner the dude balled the fuck out without being in War Games.

Waller, Knight, D’Angelo, Dunne, and Bronn are also on that short list

Fourth's gif reminded me of Gigi's gear. I know her makeup was a tribute to Daffney but that gear looked atrocious, I genuinely thought she had lost her gear and scrambled to find whatever she had to make it work. If that was a tribute to her too, then fuck me I guess.
