"It's been a long 20 rookie years"

All members of Undisputed had good matches tonight. The match with FTR was tag team wrestling at it's best. Don't know about the ending of Cole vs Garcia, but everything up to that was awesome.

Bandito and Hobbs works somehow.

We’re gonna get triple threat match with Cole pinning Moriarty is my guess.

Then again, they also seem to be trying to establish Undisputed as a trios team...which the division really needs established groups.

Could also be that they don't want Cole to eat a pin. I can't imagine Moriarty winning the match though.

I feel like AEW isn't doing much with the Trios belts. The Deathriders almost never defend them. Hopefully Undisputed and The Opps can inject some life into the division.

Elimination Chamber was really good. Enjoyed it a lot. Been a minute since I felt like a WWE ppv was worth commenting on, but that was really good. My only complaint is that man, there were a lot of bad camera angles. Those angles caught a lot of bad whiffs. They still do the zoom in and out real quick thing too. That's so 90's, they need to get past that. And I still wish they wouldn't change cameras so fast.

Otherwise, great show. That is right up there with Hogan turning on WCW to join Hall & Nash to form the NWO.

They've set up some great match ups for WM. If they do it right, it should be a really good two nights.

WWE is pushing for Cena to win the belt for 17th time, in reality there was no other route than flipping Cena to heel status, couldn't afford to turn Cody heel to much heat on Cody rite now. Plus only Babyface on Smackdown worth interest ? L.A. Knight maybe...

It definitely has its moments and could be better but I also don’t think it is near as bad as some make it out to be.

Hangman arc over the last year or so has been beautifully done.

Currently, Swerve v Richocet has been great.

Toni Storm has been a masterclass.

The Death Riders started off rough but they’ve corrected the issues there.

I will say, I enjoy the wrestling aspect first.

Sometimes I think they need to improve their writers. The storytelling is really out of left field sometimes. Although the actually Wrestling vs I'm going tell you what I'm going do like WWE does is way better.

At it's best AEW has a superior in ring product and long term stories that are compelling. It's been trending back that way recently. Things were a mess for a bit. The combination of injuries, the Punk fiasco, having one to many weekly shows and some "hot shot" booking in the lead up to getting a new WB deal were all wrenches in the works.

AEW is still a relatively new promotion and goimg through some growing pains. It seems like they have their momentum back now though. The move to smaller arenas, going to 2 weekly shows and Kenny's return have things clicking again.

But at the end of the day AEW and WWE have different styles. They are going to speak to some folks and not others sometimes.

Great PPV. Don't ask me why, but I feel like this whole Moxley storyline ends with Copeland. Then Christian finally beating Copeland for the title Don't ask me to explain it all but all the threads tie in my head lol

AEW does it again. Awesome.

Well,I didn't see Iyo beating Rhea for the women's championship tonight. IYO/Bianca at WrestleMania now.

Maybe Rhea is hurt? Or maybe they are angling to make it a 3-way match at Mania?

The reactions to Cena's turn were great. Lord forgive me, but I laughed at the little kid crying. I probably shouldn't have, but I did.

I wonder how many matches each night of Mania will have? Between the Rumble and the Chamber, they already have quite a few matches set. Cody/Cena, Gunther/Jey, Flair/Stratton, Iyo/Bianca/possibly Rhea, Punk/Rollins, Orton/KO, and probably Priest/Drew. That's 7. That leaves several big names still unaccounted for. Chief among them, Roman Reigns. There's also Bron Breaker, Jacob Fatu, Logan Paul, AJ Styles, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, and probably more I'm forgetting. And then you have tag teams. WWE has dropped the ball on their tag team scene as of late, IMO, but you would think we'd see at least one of the two brands tag titles defended. Plus they need to push their two new women's lower card championships. Loys of names, probably not enough space on the card. It'll be interesting to see who makes it and who gets left out.

Probably a U.S.Title match between L.A. Knight and Shinska ( ever how you spell it)

I read a rumor that Balor's Demon King might make a comeback for a matchup against Bron. And last night's Raw mentioned something about AJ and Logan Paul. I'm sure we'll see more matches added. Just don't think they should bloat the card so much that they limit the time to have great matches.
