It isn't a huge surprise that I haven't been doing AEW blogs recently.. and to be honest I didn't want to do this one. But.. I made the choice to go ahead and get my feelings out there about it. I will say..it was better than last week. However I still have my problems with the overall outcome. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it.
-Kenny Omega vs. Brian Cage (w/ Lance Archer)
I don't exactly know the story behind this match.. or if this one was just a happy return match. Regardless, I thought this match was pretty good overall. Both men work wonderful together! In the end it was Kenny that got the win. However that didn't stop the beat down afterwards. This led Ospreay to come help, but both men were over taken by The Don Callis family. Could we be seeing a tag team or trios in the mix sooner than later within this group?
-Swerve Strickland/Ricochet
As much as I don't want to say it.. I am actually enjoying this feud. While I wasn't too sure or thrilled about it at first.. having Ricochet in this situation works! We've never been able to see Richochet like this, and to be honest.. it's fun and interesting. Ricochet did come to the ring but was over come with "booing".. this was until Nana came out to hit Richochet with a chair. Swerve followed and the two took it out of the ring and into the crowd. I have a feeling this overall feud will be pretty intense.
-The Hurt Syndicate vs. Private Party and Mark Briscoe
Nope. I didn't like this at all. First of all.. Private Party went through IT to get these titles and for them to have to defend this like this and within this story line is insane in the worst way. The match itself wasn't too good. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it just didn't click. But in the end, it was Hurt Syndicate got the win. PLEASE for the love of God don't take the titles off Private Party this soon. AT LEAST push it to Revolution in March.
-MJF/Jeff Jarrett Promo
I won't say much about this, but omg. I honestly don't know how to feel about this one.. it was intense for one. The two went back and forth with the insults.. crossing the line that is for sure. It wasn't until MJF made comments about Owen Hart.. that Jeff snapped. The two went at it until they were broken up. Overall... yikes.
-Christian Cage (w/ The Patriarchy) vs. Hook (w/ Katsuyori Shibata)
I've been waiting for this match and to be honest... I really enjoyed it. It wasn't just a simple match and it was one that took Hook to his limit. I do feel both Christian and Hook work very well together, and hope we can see it again sooner than later. However things took a turn when The Patriarchy got involved resulting in a DQ.. and the beat down started. The shock of the night was when Joe returned to help out his friends to end the segment! The group is back together!
-Women's Casino Gauntlet for Women's World Championship Opportunity
In this we saw:
- Kris Statlander
- Jamie Hayter
- Megan Bayne (FINALLY)
- Julia Hart
- Willow Nightingale
- Toni Storm
- Harley Cameron
I really liked this! And did anyone catch the AMAZING chemistry that Kris and Megan had in the ring.. please give me 20. Overall, this was really fun and interesting to say the least. But in the end.. it was Toni Storm that got the win! Hmmm and against Mariah May... this story line might be a good one after all.
- AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Powerhouse Hobbs
I enjoyed it for the most part but something was just missing. I will say.. Hobbs did amazing and the match was intense. It took some time but Mox was able to get the win.. but not by pinning. I feel that is a bit important to point out. There was a after match beat down.. and FTR and Cope came to make the save. However.. it was a little late for that.
Overall: 7.8/10
=================================================
I love AEW and have since the start. I just wish there was a little MORE into the story lines. I am still holding on to it getting better...
UP NEXT: WWE Friday Night Smackdown
-Will we see The Wyatt Sicks FINALLY?
-Bayley vs Tiffy
-Will anyone else be transferred from Raw/Smackdown?
