    I'd really be surprised if we saw Punk. But that fuckin' roof would blow off.

    I never thought Punk would be here.

    I always thought if he showed up it'd be on the TV debut show, the way Luger did Nitro #1

    Do they need something to build hype over the next month for TV? or new champ, the future female title match, and LAX joining enough?

    Best show since Double or Nothing but not as good as DoN.

    Jericho winning was the right call. Instant cred for the title.

    Just finished All Out. Good show, but I agree on the pacing. I didn't mine the slower main event, per se, but the crowd was kinda dead for it.

    I think the right call in the title match.


    What's next? We getting some Road To TNTs?

    You guys think they're going to introduce a mid card belt down the line? Maybe like an x division/ gift of the gods belt, or just a European TV title?

    I heard Matt say he thinks singles and tag for both men and women was plenty. But I feel you have to have 1 mid card belt for men.

    This next month will probably be road tos yeah. They really better spend alot of time on Nyla and Riho since that title match is on TV1.

    Not sure what they have planned but guess we'll see soon. I'm so pumped for TV.

    There will for sure be a midcard title, but they're clearly pacing themselves by rolling out the tag and women's belts over the next few months

    iirc there was an episode of BTE, I think during the mail bag portion, where they said there would absolutely be a mid card belt

    The pacing seems good for sure you're right bigpig . Do hope they go mid card mens before women tag though. We'll see.

    I see a big complaint on reddit being they feel every match is too long. How do you guys feel about that?

    To me because they've had limit shows it seems they want to showcase everyone as much as they can so they let them get off their stuff in the matches. Do you think there needs to be more short matches mixed in?

    Just do a TV title belt. Most of these guys are barely pushing 200 or 210 and many not even close to that, so seems kinda pointless when the traditional cutoff for cruiserweights is 205. Luchasaurus and Omega biggest they got and are billed at 233 and 229 respectively.

    Did you guys know Nyla Rose was transgender? Because I somehow missed all that. I guess I remember hearing allusion to "her journey" or "her struggle" maybe, but idk.

    Yeah, it was mentioned around the time she signed. I don't see an issue with it cause it's not real fighting after all. Think people are being pretty awful to her in general.

    But... devil's advocate it kind of makes it hard to say she sucks, cause people will think you're picking on her cause of the transgender shit. Oh well.

    Honestly. Nyla vs. Riho as the first women's title match is weird AF. I honestly thought it'd be Baker vs. Shida. But I guess they have a couple storylines built in now and can do Baker vs. Priestley.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't care at all. I think she's be entertaining as hell. I just either never knew or totally forgot. I read something on reddit earlier about people being upset about her push and that's when I found out.

    As for the match, count me meh af on Riho. I wanted the other joshi gal to win.

    And from what I've been reading, Kylie Ray had to unexpectedly retire, and that is believed to have messed with their plans for the women's title scene that start.

    The Kylie thing is definitely weird, wonder if the truth or story ever comes out on her.

    I thought for sure Shida was winning cause she's actually signed full time to AEW and moved to the states plus is Kenny's old GF or something.

    Sounds like Sadie Gibbs took a shot at Bea Priestley backstage last night. Speculation is because Bea no sold like everything Sadie did during the BR.

    Bea sounds like she's gonna be a headache. Between concussing Britt and now this, wonder how far she really goes. I could see AEW cutting ties with her soon since she's not going to leave Japan anyway.

    I’m also out on Riho. It might be her size idk she’s so tiny. And it’s going to be worse for the title match.

    Tbqh I’m not really into any of the females AEW has put forward. Hopefully TV will develop some personality and character

    Cesaro is so fucking awesome. I would love him to just stay in NXT either U.K. or US. His match was fantastic.


    The main event was one of the very best I’ve seen all year from any promotion. And I wasn’t a big fan of Walter till this point. amazing match.

    Tony Khan said last night that they'd be keeping records for singles, tags, trios matches, and maybe other match types. could go on runs where that is taken into account vs an overall record. Also potentially "season" records. We'll see how all that win/loss stuff goes.

    Also, I was really annoyed they forced poor Pharoah out there after the fireworks Pyro and he was clearly freaking out. Your dog is not a prop Cody. Glad they seemed to catch a decent amount of shit for that.

    Cody has brought Pharoah out numerous times prior, probably wasn't thinking about it as Bankz said.
