Any predictions on who House of Black are facing?

A pretty skippable show. The one match I'm kinda interested in is the match where half the participants haven't been announced.

Orange defending his title consistently in singles matches for like 100 weeks straight, only to possibly lose it in a "we don't know what to do so let's have a casino themed battle royale" match is...lame.

I must have missed a memo somewhere because I thought Hayter was defending against Saraya? Saraya really hasn't done much at all has she?

AEW PPVs always look weak as hell on paper, then knock it out of the park.

The Orange match is awesome. I love this angle of Orange defending nonstop but each match making him more and more beat up. He keeps winning, but we are seeing less and less cocky Orange with each win and he simply is struggling to hold on. It is a great gimmick. And now putting himself in there with 17 opponent and two allies is just crazy.

And no Toni was the one she was fighting. Saraya can wrestle still but seems also cool just being the girl outside supporting her friends.

AEW World Championship
Four-Way Match

MJF(c) vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Jack Perry vs. Darby Allin

Thoughts: I liked the idea of this match but I was ready for it six weeks ago. The angle with Sammy Guevara left a lot to be desired and it really feels like it was done to kill time and get more heat on MJF. I think it's a missed opportunity, because MJF buddying up with Sammy could have been played up to be more nefarious and it could have been a natural way to turn Sammy. Clearly they're trying to go down that route, but Sammy can't help himself and has to do something in order to be obnoxious. The build has actually put the match at a disadvantage, I think they'll win the fans back and it'll be a 'good' four-way in the same way there's a 'good' Netflix series everyone forgets about two weeks later.

Anarchy In The Arena Match
Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta) vs. The Elite (Adam Page, Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson)

Thoughts: This match will be better than last year so I'm sure fans will love it. I thought last year's match was impossible to get invested in right up until the finish. It was like World War 3, except instead of keeping up with three matches at the same time, it was five. Taking it down a notch will automatically make it better and there's more stars involved but I can see the same wacky mayhem playing out until the finish where they'll get a screwdriver involved.

AEW TNT Championship

Ladder Match

Wardlow(c) vs. Christian Cage (w/Luchasaurus)

Thoughts: More of a curiosity than anything else to see how Cage puts this match together and whether or not Wardlow can shine.

AEW Women's World Championship
Singles Match

Jamie Hayter(c) vs. Toni Storm

Thoughts: Has Jamie been cleared? I wouldn't be shocked if this is changed at the last minute. If they're going to make the Outcasts a thing, it's time to take the belt off of Jamie. You can always go back to her, but the division needs to grow.

AEW World Tag Team Championship
Tag Team Match (Special Referee: Mark Briscoe)

FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood)(c) vs. Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett

Thoughts: I didn't hate the build if only because they clearly wanted to work and feature Mark Briscoe and he's one of the best characters in all of rasslin. 100% wrestler right there @ness. Like a lot of Jarrett/Lethal matches, this will be a total palette clenser - I hope they can actually build some interesting tag teams up for FTR to wrestle.

AEW TBS Championship
Singles Match

Jade Cargill(c) vs. Taya Valkyrie

Thoughts: This feels like an excuse for Jade to wear a skimpy outfit and bring out a surprise return.

Unsanctioned Match (Special Enforcer: Sabu)
Chris Jericho vs. Adam Cole

Thoughts: So apparantly there was a story behind Sabu. According to Alvarez, Jericho spotted some guy on his cruise doing a Sabu cosplay, only to realise it was the man himself. So he invited him onto do one of his commentaries of an old match and Sabu was a good sport so he wanted to use him because Sabu has been having a rough go of it. Not the most exciting match on paper but if you look at it from an internal perspective it's a way to turn Adam Cole babyface and have a PPV quality match without getting his brain scrambled because Jericho knows how to protect his opponent.

AEW World Trios Championship
Open House Match

The House Of Black (Brody King, Buddy Matthews & Malakai Black) (w/Julia Hart)(c) vs. To Be Determined

Thoughts: Please be the team of Savio Vega, Paul White & Swoggle aka The Buzzkills.

AEW International Championship
21 Man Blackjack Battle Royal

Orange Cassidy(c) vs. Dustin Rhodes vs. Trent Beretta vs. Chuck Taylor vs. The Blade vs. Brian Cage vs. Ari Daivari vs. Tony Nese vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Rey Fenix vs. Juice Robinson vs. Big Bill vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Keith Lee vs. Ricky Starks vs. Kip Sabian vs. Jay White vs. Bandido vs. Lee Moriarty vs. Komander vs. The Butcher

Thoughts: I'm with Emperor on this. So I'm meant to be invested in OC having this open challenge only for him to either lose or embarrass 20 other wrestlers? Anarchy in the Arena was booked backwards and so was this. This is a case of Tony Khan deciding he needed a Battle Royal on the show and just inserting OC instead of booking OC in a match fans may care about.

The Buy In
Six Man Tag Team Match

Ethan Page & The Gunns (Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn) vs. Hook & The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy)

Thoughts: I'm going to forget this match ever existed a month from now.

AEW World Championship
Four-Way Match

MJF(c) vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Jack Perry vs. Darby Allin

Everyone besides Jack has gone a lot over the start of AEW to now. But still don't think any of the other three are quite there yet.

Anarchy In The Arena Match

Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta) vs. The Elite (Adam Page, Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson)

The Elite have been stomped for month by the BCC so guessing they win.

AEW TNT Championship
Ladder Match

Wardlow(c) vs. Christian Cage (w/Luchasaurus)

He was going to be the next Goldberg now feel he is the next Ryback. He was white hot for a while then bad booking has made me not care. Both Joe or Hobbs should have been champion longer.

AEW Women's World Championship
Singles Match
Jamie Hayter(c) vs. Toni Storm

This feel likes the period in WWE were all the women were in trios and had some version of the same match for weeks. The women's section of dynamite is the Outcast match.

AEW World Tag Team Championship
Tag Team Match (Special Referee: Mark Briscoe)

FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood)(c) vs. Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett

Either Mark turns heel or does some mistake and sides with the heels.

AEW TBS Championship
Singles Match

Jade Cargill(c) vs. Taya Valkyrie

It has been time to end this streak.

Unsanctioned Match (Special Enforcer: Sabu)

Chris Jericho vs. Adam Cole

Jericho because he needs a win to stay creditable. He may allow Adam Cole to have an out.

AEW World Trios Championship
Open House Match
The House Of Black (Brody King, Buddy Matthews & Malakai Black) (w/Julia Hart)(c) vs. To Be Determined
TBD have been looking good lately winning some key matches but are they that familiar with each other. So I guess House of Black.
AEW International Championship
21 Man Blackjack Battle Royal
Orange Cassidy(c) vs. Dustin Rhodes vs. Trent Beretta vs. Chuck Taylor vs. The Blade vs. Brian Cage vs. Ari Daivari vs. Tony Nese vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Rey Fenix vs. Juice Robinson vs. Big Bill vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Keith Lee vs. Ricky Starks vs. Kip Sabian vs. Jay White vs. Bandido vs. Lee Moriarty vs. Komander vs. The Butcher

I kind wouldn't mind if they gave it to RUSH. That match he buried Jack was really fun.

Have they explained what a Blackjack Battle Royale is and how it differs from a normal one?

Okay, that makes sense but is slightly underwhelming

I'm actually surprised OC held on. What a run he's been on.

Weird to see the Unsanctioned Match not take place at either the start, or end of the show.

I'm expecting a Sabu swerve because (1) why would he care about Adam Cole and (2) both he and Jericho are ECW alums

Just in time for SAAAAABUUUUU!

I wonder if a fan ran into the ring area or something when the match started. Right as Sabu went into the ring Taz started to say something and got cut off, then JR yelled "HEY STUPID!" and they all went quiet for like 30 seconds. It was weird.

Missed it, stream is quite buggy tonight

Jericho is a real one for doing a suplex from to apron to floor in his 50s.

wrestlingnetwork.in seems to be working good so far. I find it's generally better than the other streams even though it appears to use the same or similar hosts.

I checked twitter for info but everyone is posting Succession spoilers so I had to close that.

Now I'm having streaming issues as well

Jericho took that Panama Sunrise like a drunk walrus.

Did he take it or did Cole bodyslam himself? Not quite sure

LOL if special guest attraction Sabu isn't involved in the finish in any way

Thank you Tony for booking Sabu & JJ back to back

That makes more sense, I thought Sabu just missed his chair shot so they cut away
