All In

This was safe and stayed quicker. Without risking MJF or Cole much for their main event this was still a lot of fun. The crowd was super into the spots at the end and it worked great with the story they have.
3.5 / 5
This was pretty much just a brawl mostly. It was fine as Hook isn’t ready for a long match and having him win back his dads belt is a moment to cheer. Perry losing though isn’t helping his much.
2.5 / 5
These two know how to put on a good match and this opening got the crowd really going. It wasn’t there best match though but even then they still put on a solid match. No one expected Punk to lose either though.
3 / 5
Ibushi still has some rust on him but this was better looking for him. This was 20 minutes of all action pretty much. Everyone got their big moments in and this sets up Omega / Takeshita at All Out likely.
4 / 5
FTR winning shocked me a little but I think its the better outcome. This was really good with the teams exchanging finishers and getting their close calls in. A showcase of two of the best tag teams in the world going at it.
4 / 5
At times hard to follow but a lot of fun as a 20 minute brawl. They went everywhere, did endless spots, and there was a lot of carnage and blood. Pretty much everything you’d expect here and hopefully it sets up some more matches here.
4 / 5
This was short and Saraya getting the win was expected given her family and home being there. This likely leads to Outcasts breaking up too. Baker was sort of just there and Shida gets a short title reign.
2.5 / 5
A lot of fun and you knew what was gonna happen. Sting isn’t losing a match really especially with Darby. So from there it was just two teams having fun with big spots and the crowd was super behind it.
4 / 5
Ospreay getting the win here was right as he’s one of the best in the world and likely signing with AEW soon. Jericho held his own well but him winning wouldn’t have made any sense.
3 / 5
It didn’t overstay its welcome and gave Acclaimed / Gunn a big win here.
3 / 5
A great match with an even better story. Strong trying to get Cole to turn on MJF and him not doing it worked great. The close calls and what could happen from here had the crowd completely all in for this.
4.5 / 5
