Hell baby
Wouldn’t even bother bringing in Lashley, just push the shit out of Shelton since he also has a great mouthpiece/manager. Something WWE couldn’t figure out for decades.

He fits AEW well with his great work rate. He looks massive compared to everybody too. Idk if Lashley will get the same response from the AEW crowd

Well done, imo. It’s a plug and play story they don’t have to invest time into building.

Those three are there to make some younger talent. In the process of doing that, they’ll need to go over from time to time.

Taven/Bennett will cost Cole his match against MJF. The cut to O'Reilly during Cole's TV time. Definitely teasing a new Era of AEW.

I also heard the 90 and 30 second warning at the end. The phone call led you to believe reinforcements were coming next week so the debut was a bit of a swerve.

A lot of promo segments. The episode felt like it was written by WWE. I get it, they're building towards a PPV, but four? matches in two hours is light on action.

I liked the announcers suggestion a few weeks ago that Mox's faction should be renamed the Death Riders.

One of the stronger Dynamites I remember though they used some PPV material to do it. The start with OC promo, Cole-Buddy, Mox faction brawl, and then Private Party match was pretty great, then it tailed off a bit but Swerve taking out Shelton and then MVP calling in the bigger boss was cool.

Mariah vs Anna Jay feud is straight out of like WWE in like 2010, and meanwhile the other women's belt requires you to go through the brick house to just sniff it.

I wasn't super sold on Hurt Business in AEW but that shot at the end of them standing together sold me on them.

I gotta think some younger people join them. I just don't know who.

Private Party/Young Bucks was amazing. I still am shocked about how good Private Party are.

Would be surprised if Powerhouse Hobbs doesn’t end up there

AEW World Champion Orange Cassidy has a nice ring to it.

Crowd went into business for itself there. Lots of love for Buddy.

Mark Davis sighting!
Yeah that was both cool and kinda weird. Matthews almost came across as a tweener for a bit. I enjoyed it though. Good segment front to back

Tag match was about 20 minutes and very fun. Cole v Matthews went pretty long and was also solid. Main event showcased Benjamin’s inability to ever look old and had a nice debut for Lashley.

Twas a really good show
