It was a return to form for AEW after the disappointment of All Out, there were some very good matches here and I'm glad AEW seem to have learned that not every match has to be a 45 minute marathon with wrestlers kicking out of every finishing sequence possible.
Omega vs Page was excellent, match of the night for me too and I agree when hes booked like this there are few better than Kenny Omega when it comes to in ring work.
Cassidy vs Silver was ok, I felt like it didnt really deserve to be part of such a strong card and I would have preferred it to be on the buy in or left out all together so this show could have been a little shorter.
Cody vs Darby was decent but I still find Cody's ring work very formulaic compared to many on the AEW roster. I like Darby as TNT champion too and a feud with Cage and Starks should be good.
Shida vs Rose was ok, as I've often said the AEW womens division is something I'm not interested in at the moment so I found it hard to care about this match.
The Young Bucks vs FTR was a brilliant piece of storytelling and this showed that having one long match on a card loaded with near falls and big spots is fine, but one is enough so AEW got it right here. Like Heel I'm not a Bucks fan I dont like their flippy spot monkey style and I really think they should work as heels as their personalities are just so annoying, this feud would have made much more sense with the Bucks as heels and FTR as faces. Great match though and YB winning made sense as having half of the Elite members forbidden from challenging for titles would be too much.
I loved the Elite Deletion match, Hardy and Sammy shooting each other with fireworks from trenches and all the other crazy goings on and the cameos from Gangrel, Shane Helms and the Hardy family was all great fun. Really enjoyed this great piece of cinematic work.
I thought the MJF vs Jericho match was slow and sluggish pretty poor match, but thankfully it was short and the right person won, this is far more about the story than the wrestling anyway I wasnt expecting a classic match.
The main event was a wild and crazy brawl, Moxley does his best work in this environment. Looking forward to Mox vs Omega in the near future as I would argue that their previous match was the best singles match Moxley has ever had that I've seen anyway.
Really decent show, recommend.
