Summer Slam has come and gone.. and BOY... did we have one hell of a time. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! Night 1: -Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed This kicking off was pretty good in my opinion. While I do think the match wasn't one to blow your mind... it was still pretty dang good overall. In the end, we did see Roman and Jey pick up the win. This isn't what I thought would happen, but it is understandable moving forward (esp after watching Monday Night Raw). -Judgment Day (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair -Women's Tag Titles This match was pretty solid over all. All women did wonderful together and I enjoyed it! I feel like this match had so much on it in the first place, and there were so many people getting their hopes up for a Liv pop up. Sadly, that did not happen. We however.. did see Alexa and Charlotte pick up the win to win the tag titles! I am so happy for both women and hope they do this story ri...
Last night was Winter Is Coming.. and it did not disappoint! This card was stacked from the start, and we've got a lot to unpack. We also have a huge week coming..leading into AEW World's End in TWO weeks! I have a feeling this one will be pretty damn good. Let's get into it!
- Pac and Jon Moxley vs. Orange Cassidy and Jay White
I loved this and for multiple reasons.. not only do these men work so well together.. but this was very entertaining from start to finish. This feud has been going on and has some history.. so that made it even better. The story line for this has been something else all together and I feel moving into World's End.. this might be heading towards the peak of it all. What I didn't expect was a disqualification, but in the end it does make sense. This is where Adam Page comes in to the story. Of course, we also have Christian Cage lingering with his promise of a title match in hand. With this match being done.. we are told in a promo that it will not be a simple one on one match for the world title, but a fatal four way. If I remember correctly, this does mean.. basically anything goes? Right... I have very excited for this match overall, because I feel something just might take place we aren't expecting. My theories will come later as this story develops after the match is fully set.
-Claudio Castagnoli vs. Will Ospreay
Um, where has this been my entire life? So much took place, and I loved every moment of it. I loved everyone's comments on Twitter about Will's hair.. I will also say, it's a good look for him. Regardless, this match was very good as these two worked wonderfully together. However, I didn't expect this ending. In a shocking turn of events, we saw Will Ospreay steal a win from Claudio.. which of course, pissed him off. This resulted in an after match attack.. It will for sure be interesting moving forward. And now we will see Darby vs Ospreay next week. This is a match that is very highly anticipated.
-Adam Cole vs. Kyle O'Reilly
I honestly didn't know how to feel about this match. I couldn't pick a winner in my head because I really felt it could have gone either way. Kyle winning would result in another injury from the group, building the tension with Adam and MJF.. OR Adam winning to result in him FINALLY getting his hands on MJF just one year after he revealed himself to be the devil. The ending was very interesting to me, but it was Adam Cole that got the pin. We will now see MJF vs Adam Cole at World's End for the Dynamite Diamond Ring. This could go multiple ways, but are we really going to see Adam win and finally defeat MJF.. or will there be a little help from someone for MJF? Only time will tell! This has to be a very exciting match or me going into World's End.
-Ricochet vs. Brody King
This might not be popular, but I wasn't all in for this match. Don't get me wrong.. I do love Brody and I enjoy Ricochet.. this just didn't hit. It's very apparent that Ricochet is going heel.. and they did a good job with turning him over. But will he join MVP? After a very good bout.. it was Richochet that took home the win. Hmm..
-Mariah May vs. Mina Shirakawa
Going into this match, I didn't set the bar high. OH BABY... I was WRONG. This match was amazing for multiple reasons. These two ladies went completely over the bar I set, and Mina... please make her a regular on AEW. I loved these two together, and it isn't shocking they work well together seeing they have been partners previously. After the two went to war, it was Mariah May that took home the win to retain her title.
After the match.. we hear a all too noticeable theme music. It was TONI STORM.. making her return, and not as Timeless Toni.. but ROCKER TONI! HELL YEAH! You can see the raw emotion on her face as the crowd went INSANE! This is going to be one hell of a feud and I am ready for it! I smell a title change at Grand Slam my friends.
Overall: 8.1/10
========================================================
UP NEXT: Friday Night Smackdown
-How will MCMG respond to losing their titles?
-Will Tiffy tease another cash in?
-Will there be anymore information on who attacked Jade?
*Saturday Night we also have Saturday Night Main Event... and we are being told there WILL be at least ONE title change. But the question is... WHO? Liv Morgan? Gunther? or Cody Rhodes? Hmm..
We are also TWO weeks away from World's End, and the card is starting to take shape. Let's freakin GO!
until next time
