Should be an interesting show. The good thing is it won’t go over time because they have a hard stop because of the Pacquiao fight in vegas.

With Punk getting AEW so many headlines this weekend, I wonder if they’ll try to do something big to steal some of them back

This Eva Marie/Deudrop, Alexa Bliss stuff is unbearable. Just awful. I swear, that was the most awkward, cringe-worthy match and post-match segment.

Eva Marie really should be a valet/manager. I think that’s where you’d get her most worth.

That whole thing with Sasha was weird. First off we just don't get the WrestleMania rematch, and then Wtf was the point of Carmella? And Lynch wins in a squash in seconds over belair? Thumbs down

Yep. At least give us a few minutes. Ugh.

Still much better than Carmella, but we should of gotten a good match.

Makes no sense. You can still make Becky look strong and give her the title. This pretty much destroyed and buried bel air. All that build up done for the est just went down the drain.

I don't know about BB losing all her momentum. She's a star through and through. Honestly on par with Charlotte. But they should have done her alot better here, no doubt about that.

Banks is rumored to have covid, so her match was out the window.

Issue is they advertised it to the end and it was supposed to be a premier match. So I love the Becky surprise, but we had to get a good match.

This is gonna be a good match. These guys are good friends and I think even though drew wins, jinder will hopefully look good. Should be a physical Match. I actually like jinder.

Edit: or not

I don't know why they never let Jinder look strong and then sit there and wonder why everyone questions him...

They had to bring it with Rampage yesterday and all the buzz from it.

Tag matches were both good. Priest/Sheamus was good.

Goldberg/Lashley has no chance to be anything but horrendous. Bliss/Eva was bad. McIntyre/Jinder was average at best.

I expect Women’s triple threat to be good. Edge/Rollins and Cena/Reigns need to bring it for sure.

The crowd was so dead quiet for the Priest vs. Sheamus match people on Twitter were cracking jokes about
how bored the fans looked in the crowd.

I missed the Mysterios vs. Usos match because nature called :P

I had way higher expectations for Drew vs. Jinder thought they would be given way more time

Goldberg match as a one time thing in 2021 was insulting enough to any wrestling fan. But give us an ending to set up another match? Ugh.
