That's all great pro wrestling material, as far as I'm concerned. AEW could do with a hot midcard angle

Janela going after the woman who dumped him when he needed her the most and her new asshole boyfriend is a million times more interesting than whatever Janela has been doing since he got to AEW, to be fully honest.

The Jericho bits were fantastic but it was probably the first week that it really felt like he was carrying the show. Sky's little month or so push was really fun, however and the main event was a perfectly fine WCW Saturday Night Ric Flair title defence. What I will say is that there had to have been some timing issues with this show; the opening angle ended really flatly with the Roberts beatdown and SCU coming to the ring happening so quickly and with no impact and the MJF/DDP/Wardlow stuff just kind of took off and ended. Not giving MJF the after-match promo seems like a real mistake. The guy has plenty of heat already but I think he needs to speak every week to sustain it. Even the Dustin interview barely got started before they built the match for next week. It just seemed like they were rushing to get to the endings of the angles and everything sort of suffered because of it. Still though, the actual ring-work is becoming more diverse with each week with a better mix of short and long matches. It seems a long time ago that every match was stretched past breaking point and it's making the show far more easy to digest.

I, for one, can’t wait for the MJF promo and beat down on DDP.

A War Games ending on a TLC spot is so indicative of WWE. The eventual AEW War Games will end with MJF tapping out in a pool of his own blood and it'll be a million times better for it.

Did they just show and acknowledge Britt Baker?!

This is such a gigantic waste of Keith Lee. Not to mention Kevin Owens.

Strong is channeling Elimination Chamber Rey but even that’s not enough to transcend this. WWE plunder is the worse

Keith Lee should be in there throwing people from one ring to the next, smashing people into the cage and generally being a monster but the entire match is built around dives so he has to do that instead. Ridiculous.

“Holy bleep!” Wait a minute, this is a War Games decided by pinfall?! You wouldn’t get this from Cody’s War Games.

Yeah, man, we’re on the same page. If there were 3 more Roderick Strongs, Undisputed Era might be cool

Adam Cole going straight for the plunder, confirming himself as the new Edge. If he had anything about him, he’d have casually strolled to the ring. He’s a heel. His heels were winning!

He’s been fantastic here. You can tell he’s a student of War Games because whenever the face comes in, he’s the first one there to bump his ass off

Roderick as the Arn is pretty perfect tbf. He’s the best worker in that stable by a mile.

Say what you will about Cody, he knows enough to put a roof on the fucking cage. Undisputed ERA are like 4 e-fed wrestlers come to life.

Beth Phoenix reciting the awkward, wordy introductions has to be a rib at this point?

Well, I’m definitely going to pretend it was intentional now Theres a rapper in the audience so Mauro can make 15 tortured referenced because he’s so cool.

Seriously! Riddle is smoking him in every possible category

Riddle/Goldberg is money. And also a match that no human ever predicted 2 years ago.

Seriously! I thought the same thing. Riddle had to find a way out of the weakest chin lock in the world while still making Balor look good. The man is one of the best on Earth.

Why is Heel Finn Balor doing his babyface entrance?

Pete Dunne gets the illustrious position of challenging for the NXT title on the Survivor Series pre-show.

Pete Dunne is “literally fighting for his right to party” according to the Human reference machine, Mauro. He needs to take his face for a shit.

On my stream, Priest has just Razor Edge’d Pete Dunne on top of the table. What have I missed?

If anything, lifting references from a 70s sitcom actually enhances his desperate to be cool, midlife crisis gimmick
