I can't get over Cody's performance walking to the ring and embracing his family last night. Add in all of his promos over the last few weeks as well. Had everyone believing he was getting the moment and fooled us all. Pretty impressive.

I might've gone a full 5 with a different result. But a tremendous match nonetheless.

Love you, brother, even if I disagree!

Let it play out yadda yadda yadda. I'm as big a fan of Roman, this run and his entire career as just about anyone short of Kawada here. He's one of the greatest to ever do it, headlined more manias than most and remains criminally underrated by the masses. And he should've dropped the strap tonight.

So apparently Shad Khan purchased WWE. My god.

Vince about to pull a TK and have Cody lay down in front of his family *and* Brodie Lee's kid?

I didn't see any people with insight comment on it, but what gave me pause about any potential Saudi deal is it would seem like most media companies wouldn't want to commit 9 figures to broadcast a Saudi enterprise. Perhaps MBS wouldn't care and perhaps I'm dead wrong. But that always seemed like a huge roadblock especially with sale negotiations taking place parallel to those for media rights.

Of course they pull this stunt right after I tell the wife the show will definitely end by midnight. Thanks, Vince.

That was on hell of an awesome and definitive finish to a great match.

Not sure I'd go there as the Sasha HIAC along with some other Becky and Sasha matches were pretty great, but they are literally and figuratively killing themselves and each other to make this awesome and it is working.

*Insert obnoxious comment about how its been fused with everything removed from her face over the years*

That was probably the 2nd best match of the night thus far behind the 4 way tag but I wouldn't argue with anyone who had it as tops to this point. So great.

I'd rather watch Max wrestle but would take any and every Dom promo over MJF.

We're at the point where I'm not sure if Dom is awesome or awful but the heat is off the charts and its super fun.

Dom's entrance was amazing but somehow papi may have topped him.

That four way tag was so great that if its not the best match tonight we are getting one hell of a show. The very best possible WWExDragongate crossover.

Dropping this here as I don't believe there's a dedicated ROH thread, but Athena has been absolutely crushing it as a heel. Promos, presence, work, just phenomenal performances in every setting. Her matches with Willow Nightingale and Emi Sakura were outstanding and the squashes have been incredibly effective as well. One of the best heels going today.

They've already announced that Cena/Theory is opening night 1.

Take care of yourself and the rest will take care of itself.

They really seemed to leave him with zero openings to come out looking strong so I'm indeed extra curious to see what's planned because presumably this isn't just on the table to benefit Cena. Apparently the Vince pic above is a fake.

John Cena is very good at what he does. Very, very good.

Amen. I never thought there were two sides to assaulting a child but here we are. Meanwhile anyone storms the ring and that person is likely (and rightfully) being arrested with the only question being what kind of extracurriculars they're subjected to on the way out of the building. If MJF were a professional athlete it'd probably cost him 7 figures once all suspensions were said and done, and if he were in a less lucrative field like acting or something else with an audience he's probably out of a job. The kid's a joke.

I don't think it should take away from the match. But it should have consequences for MJF and AEW as a business.

If he actually assaulted a child he should be fired and the company should face ungodly scrutiny for failing to do so. None of this will happen in no small part because its wrestling but I don't understand any attempt to excuse that.
