All ELITE opening!

Bucks are in charge now!!!

The Bucks are gonna choose Jack Perry as the next challenger, aren't they?

Only took 14 minutes before someone mentioned the Jets getting bounced last night. :lol:

House playing Edge's old game.

Would have loved for Buddy to roll out of the ring and someone else jump Edge from behind.

Wha'd I miss so far, anything good?

-Tony Khan kicked off the show from Jacksonville, still wearing a neckbrace. Said he wasn't cleared to travel.
-Feed cut out and we got a shot of the Bucks in the production truck. They said their contracts have founders clauses that mean Tony can't fire them for what they did. Also said that when Tony can't be at a show, the EVPs are in charge.
-They then ran the "new" Dynamite opening that was all clips of The Bucks, Okada & Jack Perry, including him saying "Cry me a river" at All In.
-Swerve came out and said what the Elite did last week was bitch work, then the EVPs showed up on the screen and said he was fined for swearing.
-Also said his opponent for DON is a former Champion, a Canadian, and someone that hasn't been around for a while.
-Heavily alluded to it being Kenny Omega, but Christian's music hit and he came out.
-Christian attacked Swerve without saying anything, then ranted about their past and how he's gonna be his daughter's new father, blah blah.
-Then Killswitch ripped out one of his dreadlocks. The crowd chanted "EAT IT! EAT IT!"

-Now Cope vs Buddy. Malakai seems to be hinting that HOB is holding the Cope Open hostage and we will likely see Cope face Brody and Malakai at future shows.

If I get to see Copeland vs Brody next week in Edmonton I'm gonna squeal. I haven't seen Edge live since Summerslam in Toronto like 20 years ago.

I feel like I missed part of the story. Did Cope ever say he wasn't going to go to that dark place?

'cuz if he didn't then he could brain Matthews and not be a hypocrite or corrupted or whatever

Not necessarily but it is out of character for him to go for the Conchairto after winning a match. He has only used it in his feud with Christian and doesn't seem to go there unless he's been pushed to the brink. His whole "Cope Open" thing is just about defending the TNT title against the best AEW has to offer, be a fighting champ, etc etc. We'll probably get more answers next week.

I also need to add that it's a huge missed opportunity for them to now just call it the Copen. 

Pretty sure the House is gonna turn Edge so he can start working his way through the faces of AEW.  Edge seems to want to face everyone he can before he retires.

OMG!!! Worker Ant is celebrating tonight!!!

Trent's such a prick.

OMG Orange turning heel?

Ah man... Chuck Taylor calling it a career.

Alright folks, take a knee under the learning tree!!!

That's the sort of thing that could be legit or a work and I'd absolutely believe it either way

Without audio issues this week, Jericho is using Spotlight.

So weird to see Shibata in a hardcore match. Swear he looks better each week this run.  And just unreal he had this gimmick in him with the phone shit and a more laid back attitude in the ring, well for Shibata.

And damn, Jericho getting torn up in there.

Fuck he is turning purple...

i am sports entertained

OMG that looked brutal.

Shibata giving Jericho his best match in a while here.
