C.S.

Booooooooooo! Riott Squad should've won, but at least they were made to look strong. I guess this is sort of a Lifetime Achievement Award spot for Nattie and Tamina.

Even the ring announcer doesn't care about this match. Riott Squad better win.

Must be wetter than we realize.

Titus looks like he hates life right now.

Did not expect that. Was hoping for some Hurt Business fuckery with Shelton and Cedric helping Lashley win and the breakup being revealed as a ruse.

Off-topic: I'm really happy so many of you got your first or second vaccine.

I wonder if it's the crowd that's quieter than expected because of the smaller number of people there or the stadium setting itself obscuring the noise.

Titus looked like he had no idea WTF Hulk Hogan was talking about half the time.

Michael Cole and Samoa Joe in raincoats will be a meme for years to come.

Maskless fans in the front row. Jesus...

Not to mention, no social distancing whatsoever.

So much for Drew and Lashley getting that opening pop.

Sonny is money - I definitely wouldn't cut him. Mostly grossly underutilized talent in AEW. I'd also keep Daniels in an on-air, in-ring role. Ivelise seems good, but I guess the dreaded "backstage heat" has derailed her here too like it has everywhere else.

Is there any reason this match couldn't have taken half the time?

Why are they wearing wrestling gear for an "unsanctioned" match? At least it started off intensely with brawling like a true blood feud.

Hercules had a character, personality, charisma and magnetism - all attributes missing in Kross.

No title changes yet tonight, so I assume Finn Balor drops it to Karrion Kross. Please explain to me what everyone else sees in Kross that I'm missing.

Yaaaaaaaaaaawn! at Johnny Developmental winning. Should've gone to Bronson Reed.

I cannot abide by these inaccurate lies. NXT would've won the ratings war and AEW would've been put out of business if Mauro had stayed. MAMMA MIA!

The only thing he *can't miss* will be the catering spread. Yeah, he's great, but don't fool yourself - he won't be used any better than any other luchador or Mexican wrestler has been in a decade.

The right guy won.

Where they've been running shows this whole time, so he could've easily dropped it at any point. Thanks. Corrected! So hard to keep track of all these abusive assholes and their abuse. Fuck them all. They can bag groceries at Winn-Dixie instead of being a famous pro wrestler or famous anything.

For everyone who wanted the Warrior Award to end, you may get your wish after this airs.

I expect a slight uptick for both, but probably not as much as either company anticipates.

Only WWE would give a known sex pest physical abuser a record title reign (Jordan Devlin).
