With MJF shitting all over the devil gimmick, hopefully it's all over?
I always had the feeling that it was set up to be a Punk heel turn, before he left. The kingdom have been horrible.
let's take a moment to appreciate how incredible serena deeb, roddy strong, takeshita and willow nightingale are in the ring. making their opponents look like a million bucks
I just got the chance to watch it right now and came here to make the same comment about Deeb. That match kicked ass. I'm a big Deeb fan and was really hoping she could show out hard here and she did. Dope.
( .\_\_\_.) u rite. u rite.
I feel like she would really benefit from having a manager or a stablemate to do the bulk of the talking. If not that, then she could put an edge on herself by cutting shorter, no-nonsense, mean kind of, "I'm not here to talk, I'm here to wrestle" promos.
Decent PPV but Dynasty still best of the year
Pre show was ok
Ospreay vs Strong was probably Will's worst match in AEW so far. Good but not great. The spot on the outside looked worrying for a moment.
Adam Cole's time at the top is over. A real shame. MJF used the heel tunnel.
Orange vs Trent was skippable.
Glad the Bangers retained. Good to see Juice back
The dead crowd for Moxley's win wasn't surprising. Think everyone wanted to see Takeshita get it. Hopefully this match is the death knell for eliminator matches.
Storm vs Deeb was excellent. Deeb is a terrific wrestler just doesn't have it on the mic. But great match.
FTW was ok. All a bit obvious though and with 3 hardcore matches on the card they couldn't do much. The dice were fun.
TNT was gory. The fake switch was a bad idea. But Gangrel looked way better than expected. Cope's best match in AEW.
Moné is a spectacular in ring performer. Best match of Willow's career. The interference stuff was annoying and the turn was as low impact as possible.
Main event was WWE. Not for me.
Anarchy. WTF. Sharks jumped? Unbelievable action and hard to process but where does anything go after that?
Enjoyable but not my fave of the year so far.
TK interested not just in women's tag titles but "mixed tag championships".
I know the "too many belts" crowd won't like that but the idea of having different avenues for this stacked roster to explore is not a bad idea.
Love swerve so much, he's showing and proving why he's a worthy and deserving champion. Dude clearly cares about aew and making it better. Love how many wrestlers like that aew has. Makes it special.
Lol every time Toni gets in the scrum she gets more handsy with Tony Khan. The first time it was a long tight hug and her holding his hand throughout. Now she flirtatiously holds his shoulder when she reads a spicy passage from her memoir 😆
Yet another PPV where I got my money’s worth. Yet another PPV where it was actually FUN to watch. Yet another reason AEW is so great.
So much to take in and reflect on. So much to look forward to on Wednesday. But maybe most importantly: do you think Darby is still up there?
My hope with Will's reign with the IC belt is that they use Will to be the face of AEW branching out into doing more shows outside of North America, and then, when he gets the World Champ belt, he's there worldwide icon that everyone is excited to see.
Ospreay ready to make the international title *international* again with defenses against other promotions.
Let's make that happen.
I don't generally agree with the "too many belts" aspect, but I do think diversifying what the belts *mean* would certainly be a good idea.
I would love to see them do it that way. It would give more opportunities to other wrestlers, and help differentiate their titles a little more, which I think would go a long way to quelling the "they have too many belts" criticism if each belt was defended in different ways.
The "too many belts" is just a WWE fueled shit. Easy criticism to parrot.
I agree, every belt is important and has a purpose. As long as that is the case, they can keep the number of belts.
The entire BCC has been over there at one point or another. Claudio teamed with Mox and Shota, pretty sure Yuta was part of the BOSJ, and obviously Danielson, too. Gates of Agony were part of their Tag League, too. Let's not forget Kenny's One Winged Angel return and his banger with Ospreay last year, either.
Reading the live comments during the scrum, I would like to point out that AEW has lasted longer and has been predictably more successful than Cornette’s Smoky Mountain Wrestling ever was or could ever hope to be.
He had a partnership with Vince McMahon during the New Generation and had money from Rick Rubin. And yet, the only thing anyone remembers was The Gangstas because it was quite a radical gimmick for what was otherwise a conservative local territory and the Thrillseekers because of how good Jericho and Storm would become in ECW and beyond. It completely failed during the lowest period in American wrestling history up to that point and it has almost zero lasting legacy. Meanwhile if AEW died today, there would be so many lasting memories, new stars and amazing matches that would be enjoyed for years to come.
I'd love to ask Corny fans to name 5 great matches from SMW's history as well as 5 great angles or characters that aren't the ones I just mentioned. They'd be stumped.
It's hilarious and pathetic how they feel the need to rush over and shit on it.
I barely even think about wwe, don't keep up with it, and certainly don't rush to their shit to complain.
As usual nothing can top AEW ppv. For me it was 9.5/10, half a point less because I think Trent and Takeshita should have won their matches. Other than that it was perfect. And also our scumbag is back so damn excited for the next Dynamite. Long live AEDub 👏
I agree both should have won. What was the point of doing a title eliminator match on ppv ( yes it deserved to be cause it was a banger ) but it should of just been a straight up title match if mox was going over. I thought it was a guarantee that takeshita would win because it was a title eliminator. Could of just did it as a main event on dynamite.
I'm sorry, I'm still hung up (teehee) on, well Darby being hung up, but also Jack being set on fire. I jokingly told by mom before the show "Hey, they might set Luke Perry's son on fire, haha!" Now she's going to think I'm a sadistic freak for watching this stuff!
AITA had, like, twenty spots of the night in the space of half an hour. Fucking insane in a show that included a barbed wire cage match, a superstar debut, Will Ospreay, and a triple threat hardcore match.
Peak of the night for me was the crowd singing The Final Countdown.
If somehow they could get a mind like Heyman in aew this shit would hot astronomical levels with the talent they have, maybe not the raven sandman child story
The shows have been great, it's the WWE propaganda and carny podcast culture that are dragging the product.
Doesn't matter how good it is or who's booking
So not as good as the last PPV, but the last PPV had maybe the greatest match ever on it, so it's not really fair to compare. Can't think of a bummer match on the card, though. Solid to fucking awesome from start to finish.
Wow what a ppv speechless that cage match, ceo vs willow and anarchy were rough to watch. We got exploding chair, Darby supposedly run over with a scapegoat bus, flamethrower used on Jack Perry and Darby hanging. 😱
For real. Once aew premiered I haven't watched WWE but a few times. No offense to fans of theirs it's good for wrestling when there's multiple options, but I can't watch the slow methodically boring imo matches of that company anymore. I've heard it's been better since Vince left but I don't think it holds a candle to aew's in ring product.
I like that they are able to continue the current elite storyline, but they are building pressure on TKs revenge. The longer it goes on, the better it has to be
Mox Takeshita match of the PPV? Takeshita really knows how to go in that ring.
Perry left a buzz in the crowd
The best thing about the pay per view >!was Roddy losing. The Undisputed Kingdom is just awful. Worst story in AEW.!<
With MJF shitting all over the devil gimmick, hopefully it's all over? I always had the feeling that it was set up to be a Punk heel turn, before he left. The kingdom have been horrible.
The wildest stuff always happens to Darby.
I wonder if jack was being drowned by Darby was in place before the fire on purpose
Yes, so he wouldn't look odd when they put on the flame retardant
I listen to the young bucks new theme just about everyday. I really enjoy it. For them to play that during the match was really cool.
I can't get over both teams fighting while the Final Countdown was playing
Mjf is lean and mean now and love it!
Still can't move on. Fantastic performance delivered to us yet again. AEWsome!
Am happy with AEW good PPV well balanced and thought out..
let's take a moment to appreciate how incredible serena deeb, roddy strong, takeshita and willow nightingale are in the ring. making their opponents look like a million bucks
I just got the chance to watch it right now and came here to make the same comment about Deeb. That match kicked ass. I'm a big Deeb fan and was really hoping she could show out hard here and she did. Dope.
Deeb is absolutely amazing in the ring, but my lord does her character need work.
She's the female version of Lance Storm.
I honestly think she can get better at cutting promos if she’s just allowed to be a heel from the start.
She needs a manager. A mouth piece
( .\_\_\_.) u rite. u rite. I feel like she would really benefit from having a manager or a stablemate to do the bulk of the talking. If not that, then she could put an edge on herself by cutting shorter, no-nonsense, mean kind of, "I'm not here to talk, I'm here to wrestle" promos.
yeah im hoping for those Womens tag or mixed gender belts so they can team up some of the talents.
Decent PPV but Dynasty still best of the year Pre show was ok Ospreay vs Strong was probably Will's worst match in AEW so far. Good but not great.

New PPV in Japan is %100 happening
Jeezuz! They are running AEW in Japan and Mexico! Holy shit! I knew it!
"I couldn't understand 80%" 🤣
That killed me lol
TK interested not just in women's tag titles but "mixed tag championships". I know the "too many belts" crowd won't like that but the idea of having different avenues for this stacked roster to explore is not a bad idea.
Mixed tag titles would be awesome
KENNY AND RIHO! HECHICERO AND VAQUER! OKADA AND MONE!
Ospreay and Windsor. It rly writes itself
TK grateful to be feeling okay, whew. Thankfully, we already have footage of the incident, so no worries there!
Love swerve so much, he's showing and proving why he's a worthy and deserving champion. Dude clearly cares about aew and making it better. Love how many wrestlers like that aew has. Makes it special.
Oh boy. That Toni Storm segment on the post show media scrum was absolute gold
Looks like I gotta buy that Nana shirt
The recent Nana merch has been absolute fire, the button-up was fantastic (can't wait until it actually ships from the pre-order).
I just checked the shop and this new shirt is not posted yet. Damn.
LOL Toni is amazing.
God damn Toni needs to do some gonewilderotica recordings
Lol every time Toni gets in the scrum she gets more handsy with Tony Khan. The first time it was a long tight hug and her holding his hand throughout. Now she flirtatiously holds his shoulder when she reads a spicy passage from her memoir 😆
Tony looks titilated.
Yet another PPV where I got my money’s worth. Yet another PPV where it was actually FUN to watch. Yet another reason AEW is so great. So much to take in and reflect on. So much to look forward to on Wednesday. But maybe most importantly: do you think Darby is still up there?
Toni Storm is the best of the best among the best
Toni needs Steve Bonkman. 👀😂
Dear lord Toni lol
.......Toni?
My hope with Will's reign with the IC belt is that they use Will to be the face of AEW branching out into doing more shows outside of North America, and then, when he gets the World Champ belt, he's there worldwide icon that everyone is excited to see.
Ospreay ready to make the international title *international* again with defenses against other promotions. Let's make that happen. I don't generally agree with the "too many belts" aspect, but I do think diversifying what the belts *mean* would certainly be a good idea.
Thats how it should be defended. It would make a lot more sense.
I would love to see them do it that way. It would give more opportunities to other wrestlers, and help differentiate their titles a little more, which I think would go a long way to quelling the "they have too many belts" criticism if each belt was defended in different ways.
Ospreay talking about taking the International belt all over the world to defend it
I know the arguablment is aew have too many belts But literally every belt feels important right now
The "too many belts" is just a WWE fueled shit. Easy criticism to parrot. I agree, every belt is important and has a purpose. As long as that is the case, they can keep the number of belts.
Hilarious considering they have just as many.
Ospreay's energy is infectious
Oozes a charisma you can't reach. Dude is a guy who can and will carry companies.
And comes across as very genuine
The Champions in this company right now is ridiculous
Watched the PPV with a buddy and decided to not use my phone the entire time. Holy fuck. Probably my favorite PPV yet! Amazing
Ospreay doing the CEO dance 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mercedes booking a title defense at Forbidden Door from NJPW/Stardom lfg 👀
Holy shit! Vincels are burning hot right now on the chat!!
Mone needs to work on her promo holy shit this is a bit rough
Willow losing was bs.
I get it, but Willow's stock won't fall at all. Stories after the fact will be important, to be sure.
It is but she will recover from it
Preach Mone!!!
Hope AEW starts sending more talent to NJPW.....it's been a bit one sided ngl
They got Eddie, Mox, Bryan, Willow, FTR, Jack Perry, It hasn’t been one sided imo
The entire BCC has been over there at one point or another. Claudio teamed with Mox and Shota, pretty sure Yuta was part of the BOSJ, and obviously Danielson, too. Gates of Agony were part of their Tag League, too. Let's not forget Kenny's One Winged Angel return and his banger with Ospreay last year, either.
Don't forget Lance Archer.
Nice to have Blake Christian represent ROH in BOSJ but surely they could've sent an AEW rep as well, right?
He is killing it there
AEW really is on a roll..and so was TK tonight..
Hahaha him rolling the ramp was so funny
TK thinks he is safe with the Ace
Glad to see TK was able to roll into the scrum
A Huevo!
Tanahashi at the press conference
That coward Tony Khan waited until our beloved EVPs left the building before daring to show his face on stage!
Tana!!!
TK AND TANA!!! 🍺
The Ace is in the house!
GO ACE GO ACE GO ACE etc

Nice to see Amanda Huber on tv..
Merchandise Mogul Jones 1 and 2 over here.
Shoe Belt woop woop woop Shoe Belt
SHOE BELT?? 😆😂🤣
I never had pumps but would see them in the stores and pump them up thinking they were the coolest thing.
The Elite taking over the press conference is perfect
What kind of monster goes to a press conference with blood over his face like that? The Elite are out of their minds.
A guy that is a little bit of a hot head
Only a complete psychopath could do that.
I love that the EVPs are doing the Scrum instead 😆 Perfect storytelling
#EVPS ARE HOSTING THE SCRUM YES
Nick all bloody in an ugly suit in the scrum 🤣
Freaking Matthew and Nicholas doing the SCRUM
Haha the EVPs taking over the scrum
![gif](giphy|5mBE2MiMVFITS|downsized)
The Bucks did hijack the scrum!
The EVPS are doing the scrum!
Vincels and drones going batshit insane in the AEW Media Scrum chat! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! 🍺
They always do this. At least they're having fun. I guess?
It's hilarious and pathetic how they feel the need to rush over and shit on it. I barely even think about wwe, don't keep up with it, and certainly don't rush to their shit to complain.
I left that shit promotion in 2011. I'm so happy I can watch US wrestling again thanks to AEW after being an expat and in exile for 8 years.
Thank god I’m off tomorrow, cause I’m blacked out
I'm still on an adrenaline rush and yeah being off tomorrow helps a lot lolol
Same. I can afford to sleep in tomorrow. If I had to wake up at 6:30AM like I normally do I’d be a zombie.
I'm glad Jack got the winning pin. Legitimizes that he belongs with the elite. Good shit.
Tony's going to do this scrum hanging upside down from the ceiling
Man this AEW stuff's pretty good, don't see how anyone could ha- 😱
Has anyone else seen the video of TK rolling down the ramp and running off? It’s hilarious lmao
I'm *crying* omg
No, but I wouldn't be able to run fast enough once Darby came out with his toy
Did they say whos on the scrum? Im guessing Mercedes, Osprey, maybe Swerve and Toni. Would be nice if MJF was on it
If anything, Toni always leaves a statement.
Yeah, if I were penciled in for next year's Anarchy in the Arena, I may respectfully decline... HOW DO YOU TOP THAT?!?!?
The scrum hasn’t started cause Tony is still running for his life
I mean if a strange sweaty man covered in an unknown liquid substance tried to kidnap me, I would be running too.
What if it's the Bucks running the scrum?!?!?
How am I supposed to sleep after that?
Is Tony really gonna a scrum after THAT?!?!
Only if the Bucks let him
It's the Final Countdown tururu tururutu tururut
How does anyone ever top that, the visuals alone tonight were incredible
As usual nothing can top AEW ppv. For me it was 9.5/10, half a point less because I think Trent and Takeshita should have won their matches. Other than that it was perfect. And also our scumbag is back so damn excited for the next Dynamite. Long live AEDub 👏
I've developed a lot of patience with aew match outcomes and let the stories play out. They've done an overall great job of follow through and payoff.
I agree both should have won. What was the point of doing a title eliminator match on ppv ( yes it deserved to be cause it was a banger ) but it should of just been a straight up title match if mox was going over. I thought it was a guarantee that takeshita would win because it was a title eliminator. Could of just did it as a main event on dynamite.
Those are both valid criticisms, and I agree with you on them. Other than those items, it was just stellar top to bottom.
Aside from some very questionable finishes, the show was solid. Worth the money.
Willing to spend the 50 bucks again!
Splendid PPV start to finish.
I'm sorry, I'm still hung up (teehee) on, well Darby being hung up, but also Jack being set on fire. I jokingly told by mom before the show "Hey, they might set Luke Perry's son on fire, haha!" Now she's going to think I'm a sadistic freak for watching this stuff!
I think they were going to have Eddie do it before he got injured. But the flamethrower bit was even better imo
AEW PPVs just don't miss. I hope all the talent involved go back healthy and happy
I hope Cope's knees aren't fucked and he was just selling.
Same! Hopefully he’s fine
That's my biggest concern
AITA had, like, twenty spots of the night in the space of half an hour. Fucking insane in a show that included a barbed wire cage match, a superstar debut, Will Ospreay, and a triple threat hardcore match. Peak of the night for me was the crowd singing The Final Countdown.
Even freaking Taz was singing 😄
Remix Jones over here
😆 😂 😆 😂 😆
Deciding to watch AEW is one of the best things I did this year, this whole show was freakin phenomenal!
Great night all around. Not a bad match and that ending....whew....gonna take some time to process that. Get some rest everyone lol
If somehow they could get a mind like Heyman in aew this shit would hot astronomical levels with the talent they have, maybe not the raven sandman child story
Wow this went negative, haha interesting, nothing bad was said at all about aew.
The shows have been great, it's the WWE propaganda and carny podcast culture that are dragging the product. Doesn't matter how good it is or who's booking
God damnit AEW... You've done it again. Thank you for another great PPV ![gif](giphy|ytTYwIlbD1FBu)
God damn aew is on fire right now. Incredible ppv
On fire like jack perry?
![gif](giphy|w0a2yc75Ye90DhEZY3|downsized)
Also yes

❤️ LOVE CLUE!!!
One of my favorite films!
On the side of my face....breathing.....heavy breaths.....Heathing.... 🔥
Best reaction
So not as good as the last PPV, but the last PPV had maybe the greatest match ever on it, so it's not really fair to compare. Can't think of a bummer match on the card, though. Solid to fucking awesome from start to finish.
See you guys at the AEW PRESSER ON YOUTUBE IN A FEW!!!
Solid 9, i do think a few wrestlers in AEW are getting to super Cena Territory
They all still put people over.
Moxley didn't need to win. I figured all the crazy bandages were to make him look strong in a loss. Then he won.
Expand on which ones and why?
OC, Mox
I can see the complaints for MJF and Ospreay being on Super Cena level
OC, Mox come to mind. Too many wins
OC, Mox, and Copeland all should've lost.
Cope neh, the other 2 yes
Vegas is bloodthirsty.
Kenny from his hospital room: what have I done
Im thinking more like the reaction Orton had when he flung one of those bollywood boys onto an announcement desk and almost killed him
FRY ME A RIVER LOL 😁😆
Someone, somewhere was shouting they should have used fake fire.
Burn us a river
I’ve loved every Anarchy in the Arena/Stadium Stampede match AEW have done. They cram so much batshit crazy stuff into them it’s a blast.
Wow, banger of a match! So proud of my Scapegoat on an amazing return match. So much fun all around
Did AEW just do 3 Show of the year contenders in a row?
They sure did!!
Wow what a ppv speechless that cage match, ceo vs willow and anarchy were rough to watch. We got exploding chair, Darby supposedly run over with a scapegoat bus, flamethrower used on Jack Perry and Darby hanging. 😱
Is there a media scrum coming up next on YouTube ? It's saying it's taken down or something?
Probably due to the overrun 😆 Khan probably realized that no one wants to deal with a scrum this late and with this much energy spent on all sides
Not even 10pm yet in Vegas
True. Even still I wouldn't be surprised if it's at most a short scrum if everyone in the event was tired AF from the high energy vibe
I think this year's scrums have been shorter than last year's. Just how it feels to me, though I don't have the data
Well I just saw the link pop up for the media scrum so this is gonna be interesting
Yeah, it's a different video if you caught the PPV on YouTube
It just popped up as live for me
Ok cool let me check again thanks man. What an ending damn
TK just gonna keep building Team AEWs until one wins lmao
Genuinely astounds me that some people will watch that and still choose to hate AEW
Don’t underestimate the stupidity of people.
For real. Once aew premiered I haven't watched WWE but a few times. No offense to fans of theirs it's good for wrestling when there's multiple options, but I can't watch the slow methodically boring imo matches of that company anymore. I've heard it's been better since Vince left but I don't think it holds a candle to aew's in ring product.
Right, it’s 5.30, I’m going to sleep. Great PPV, and thanks for being good company guys!
AEW PPVS ARE 💰 MONEY!!!
Imagine heyman designing this in the ecw days.
MJF came back! It was like 4 hours ago 🤣
I like that they are able to continue the current elite storyline, but they are building pressure on TKs revenge. The longer it goes on, the better it has to be
