Have fun!

That is a lot of matches.

Even though AEW is beginning to lose it's buzz, I think this will be like Forbidden Door and fans will love the show. There's plenty of variety and while I don't think any of the builds have been crash hot I don't see any bad matches on the card.

I'm very curious to see what the reception to Punk/Moxley will be. My expectation is that Punk wins through hellish means and we get Punk/FTR ruling the roost with The Elite, Dark Order and BCC in pursuit. I can see some fans complaining because it wasn't the cleanest way of getting there, but I think AEW can really sink their teeth into these programs and give the fans some really memorable angles.

Busted Open is at AEW fan fest and oddly even in Chicago it sounds like the fans there are 60/40 wanting Moxley to win. So the plan to shift more support Punk way doesn't sound like it worked.

One interview that stood out was Ruby Soho where she explained why she is the way she is and her goals. She went from why is she on this card to they should have had her in the four way and she should win it.

And people were so sure that no one would boo Punk in Chicago.

I'm rooting for Dark Order & Hangman Page! let's do this!

I really hope The Acclaimed win and Swerve and Lee can finally break up and go singles again.

Also Dark Order should absolutely win the trios titles but I’m betting they put the titles on The Elite because reasons.

Wonder if all the UE was health how different this final would be.

If The Acclaimed wins the titles tonight, it would be a nice change of pace from TK booking EVERYTHING long-term.

Some notes from Tony Khan’s interview today:

-Forbidden Door II is for sure happening next year
-some AEW stars will be at Wrestle Kingdom but he isn’t sure who or how many because the show is on a Wednesday and will impact Dynamite.

No time for Sammy and Tay to change. AAA Mixed titles are first up.

I just noticed that those mixed tag titles look better than the actual AAA Tag Team titles.

Ruby on the pre-show, Liv defending the women's title on the main show. Ugh.

Ortiz's gear looks trashy.

Of course it's Rick Knox's call to have double pinfall attempts in this tag match. :lol:

Looks like the 3rd long long member of KAIENTAI. :rofl: 

Come on Jagged, you can take down Hook!!!

Yeah rip his eye out!!! Come on!!!

Get him Daddy Magic, fuck him up!!! Give him the old Sweet Taste of Professionalism.

Fuckin EverRise getting thrown by a giant orange :rofl:

Didn't MJF vow to give Punk his biggest loss ever...

This main card is riddled with so much ex WWE talent. Think there's like 1 match that has no one from WWE.

I love Big Magic & The Cool Hand talking trash. Where's the MAN? WHAT DO YOU GOT NOW, SHOOTER!

Kip's new theme is nice.

I see two.  Starks and Hobbs, and the Trios final.

Doubt we'll get into Gunther/Sheamus levels.  But there'll still be some good discolored meat when this is over.

I am going to use all the lesson I learned since that day. Aka button mash the chop button.

Man Ruby Soho may have a busted up nose and landed bad on her neck, really all for nothing in a pre-show match.

So careless by Sammy, cmon man. 

+1 for people who will never work with Sammy again.

I really hope someone gives him a paycheck soon and it makes TV.  And there a handful of people who will do it for Ruby.
