As the real opener, that worked. Turning The Bucks and Omega heel after they’ve spent a year building people below them up works but not sure how it leads to the Bucks/FTR match 

That 10 second interaction made me really want a Darby vs Rey Fenix match.

I am not a fan of Casino Battle Royales usually but this has been a really good one so far

Hearing an actual crowd pop huge for Darby shows just how well they’ve done with him

I was just noticing how hot everyone looked, according to weather.com the "feels like" temp in Jacksonville is 95. Lotta sweaty guys out there. Sucks for Matt Sydal.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sydal with a Shockmaster-level debut

I feel terrible laughing because I love Sydal but holy shit, that was hilarious

If there's one thing AEW needed, it was another small flippy dude.

Tbf, they're loaded up on hosses too.

If he wasn't already, Sydal is surely a one shot deal.

That was a pretty decent battle royale, Matt Sydal's Shockmastering notwithstanding.

Man I would have marked so hard for Eddie winning. But fair enough on pushing Archer and Eddie deserves more than a one-time push where he loses to Mox in a Dynamite main event. As far as Casino royales go, that was pretty good. 

Kingston leading his guys after Moxley is far more interesting than Archer but Archer has done nothing since the Cody match so why not give Moxley another monster to slay 

That table spot did not look fun at all.

Agreed but I am consoling myself thinking Archer will be a one and done deal for TV like Hager while Eddie will be pushed a lot more than that eventually. 

Matt is dead wtf is going on 

Jesus Christ, if I was wrestling on this card, I wouldn’t leave my feet

Now that Hardy is sticking around, they should use the massive concussion to explain why he’s suddenly another personality on Wednesday

They should have called an audible and have Sammy win. I get that Matt's career was on the line, but the last 5 minutes of the match absolutely did not need to happen

His next gimmick should be in a hospital.  That was just awful and I know it is "the show must go on" but that was stupid to continue after that

 

Matt's career should be done anyway. The guy can't even run properly.

This was clearly Matt insisting he go on and Tony Khan making a mistake by listening to him. 

This match will get overshadowed cuz of what happened in the previous match, but Shida and Rosa are putting on a fucking show

That's a blunder that will probably haunt AEW for a while.

Or it will be completely ignored by Meltzer tomorrow

By the way as good as this match is,  PAY ATTENTION JR.    Nobody cares about your damn sauce in this match. 

Shida-Rosa legit saved the show imo. That Matt Hardy thing had taken me completely out of it. 

Sabian is a complete dork but hahahahaha at that Twitch dig

Shida with another great match, and kudos to AEW by positioning Thunder Rosa as an actual threat and not a fake champ from a second rate group like most promotions would do.
