LUKE: The best ones will be read out on the WrestleTalk Podcast.

Comments

Jeremiah Culver

Tazz commentary tonight was truly generational.

Victor Oceguera

Give Adam Corona the lifetime subscription already 😭

James Markin

wasnt the greatest PPV/PLE of the year and possibly AEW's weakest one this year. But the thing is for AEW that's still a 8/ 10 show. And that ending segment was a chef's kiss. Got me now wondering how Mox factors into ALL IN. He's got to be either Will or Kenny's first fued after london.

Wheels

I that’s a full Kenny heel turn I think they did the first angle with the Death Riders so Will is now completely alone going into All In. When the elite posed at the end of the show even the young bucks looked like they were down to help Kenny no matter what

Jerrod Hazelwood

Was it the weakest AEW PPV of the year so far? Yes. Was it a good show? Yes.

Amomantra94

Long comment incoming! Very good show again, another one that, on paper, didn’t have a huge amount of surprises. But they still managed to give us a few shock results. Super happy for Maya World winning the TBS Championship on her birthday! And even if Willow Nightingale is a transitional champion, she’s the first ever women’s grand slam champ! Fully deserved accolade for all she’s done in AEW. Jericho match massively over delivered for me too! Bucks vs Death Riders was excellent and a main event that convinced me Kevin Knight is a future star! And the post match with Ospreay refusing to do the plastic bag thing was so cathartic. Attending All In is going to be fantastic, and it’s my first show since the first All In

Vectron44

Main event angle felt a bit too cute. Will not pulling the trigger saying there was nothing at stake during the Buck's contest but an hour later willing to think about murdering Kenny weeks before All In because suddenly he was torn by Mox's peck on his cheek? Also, for a main event that was supposed to be Kevin Knight's coming out party they made sure they moved on quick...

Graff

Before we go giving lifetime subscriptions we gotta ask the real question did Kenny actually turn heel? Now if I was almost suffocated by my opponent and his mates I would justifiably be mad. Granted Will did stop them in the end he was still going along with them for months. Until Kenny has a revolving chair twirling his mustache while petting his cat he ain't no baddy to me. Thus Oli is still right #Oli>Corona

FelKat

Surprised at no debuts or returns.

Don

A perfectly cromulent ppv. For me, the best match was Fletcher/Bandido with the ladder match coming in a close 2nd. Some thoughts about the show: I think it's cool seeing Beast Mortos and Fletcher wearing gear that I'm assuming is inspired by their partners. Mortos was definitely glammed up for his ppv return. The midcard is stacked. I can see Fletcher, Bandido, and Speedball challenge for the World title with Nick Wayne going for a midcard title sometime within a year. If AEW can keep these guys, the future looks bright since most of them are younger than 35. Lots of overbooked matches on the card with the TBS match being the most egregious. Ciampa/Jericho should've ended with the tacked Judas Effect. Excited for All In. Looks like the Death Riders are going full heel. Just because Kenny hit Ospreay with the One-Winged Angel doesn't mean he's turning, imo. Looked to me that he was more upset that Ospreay was thinking about using the bag on him. I also think FTR will use their Championship Rematch Clause to get into the Tag Team Title match since they haven't appeared after they lost to C&C. Also sad that Thekla isn't in a match for Wembley at this point as I don't believe she had a feud besides with Stardom at Forbidden Door. Maybe she takes on Kairi Sane as their representative to avenge SLK? Personally sad Andrade changed his music as I was hoping for a live playing at GS: Mexico. I think Mick Foley chose his interactions and lived out the dreams of many people tonight. Decent show that suffered from a quick build and changing of a main event. I give it a B-

Marlo Ramirez

Was a great show, but feel like some not great booking choices were made. My biggest gripe is with Thekla losing the title. Having a long reigning champ going into your biggest show adds stakes to the match. Instead Willow will have yet another short reign that adds nothing to that title match. Also can we be done with the LameMaker. He tries to portray some badass, yet makes stupid faces and makes out with some local team mascot plushie.... yeah soooo cool......

Jack Burgess

Attended this live but couldn’t get there until mid way through the Andrade vs Davis match. The guys next to me told me I didn’t miss much, and all spoke about how tired they were and how they wanted the main event to be done in 10 minutes so they could all go home. Felt a similar energy in the rest of the crowd in that they were ready for the show to be done. I loved what I saw though, Thekla is a STAR!

Marlo Ramirez

yeah not quite a real heel turn, but think we can extend the window if a full turn happens before All in.

Don

I agree. I think that's why they made a point about Kenny holding the remnants of the bag. He was more upset that Will thought about it more than anything

Reece Hatfield

Good god that Bandido v Fletcher match was incredible, a definite match of the year candidate. Middle of the card wasn't the best but overall still a good show. Not one of AEWs best PPVs but the bar is so high that's not actually a bad thing.

Don

Watching it, the energy seemed to die during the dogs match. The crowd tried to cheer for Jay White, but felt flat during that match and didn't pick up until Kenny

RMK0

Saw it live from the pre-show to the end and had a great time. Canadians all won their matches, we made Kevin Knight feel sad about Speedball and yammered french insults. No debuts or returns, sure, but the show was a blast top to bottom with every match getting the crowd to buy in even on results we all knew were set in stone. Plus, that ending angle had me and my group invested like nobodys business. Loads of fun, happy to finally have seen a live PPV.

Brandon

wasn't an awful or even bad PPV but after the long streak of greatness from AEW it was definitely disappointing. a lot of the matches went on too long, despite having so many title changes nothing really felt consequential, painmaker was there with a custom mirror doing hockey jokes for a third of what was meant to be a blood feud match that ended with a way too fast and hidden drill spot, Will leaving the death riders as a story started and ended over the course of this PPV so it felt out of nowhere, etc. using an MCU metaphor, its like going from infinity war to ant man and the wasp and captain marvel, not BAD movies and certainly better then what the competition is putting out but not exactly the must watch experiences we've had for the rest of phase 3. by the way, it seems Omega will be playing the heel in the match BUT I don't think he had a true heel turn. give Adam Carona whatever half of a lifetime subscription would be

Peter Brantuas

Good to very good show, builds to the next show very well and resets a few of the champions. Not the best AEW show, but still better than most other shows.

Gavin Leonard

I feel like we've lost the plot a little. Living in the Adam corona timeline is not worth it.

book__wyrm

It's interesting that despite being presented so heelishly, Mox was kind of vindicated twice in this show, with the tag match and the ending. Ospreay couldn't find that killer instinct, and paid for it. The framing here seems to be that Will softness isn't the path forwards, but also, that the DR way isn't for him either, at least if they want him to win babyface at Wembley. So where does he go from here, with both his mentors having broken ties with him in a single event? If only there was a face on the roster who Ospreay is on good terms with, who has learned to blend honor and brutality, who has no incentive to try and take the title for himself, and could help Ospreay find the balance and be both a pure hearted dude and also a flippin bad man, bruv

RowdyRoutyPiper

Dynamite will likely confirm if this was a full heel turn for Kenny. My hope is that this is Omegas lesson to Will 'Stop treating me like your favourite Wrestler and treat my like Kenny 'by god' Omega' as in the back of Kennys mind he knows he has to be 100% as All In is enemy terrirtory for him and he lost to Will when he had homefield advantage last time.

Dean Brereton

Nothing negative on this show, it's when you compare it to other AEW shows that you see the drop off. The two women's title changes suprised me, Bandido Fletcher was as expected along with Kenny Knight, the Ospreay and Kenny angle was great. Nice to see Andrade get a title in AEW. 7/10 show for me.

Harry Burke

For a "Roadblock End of the Line" PPV, I think this show was actually better than expected. We had some great matches and enough happened to progress storylines to make me think that (although not the generational blockbuster type show AEW have been putting on recently) it was actually pretty decent.

Misha Sumra

They were never going to have Will be a heel in London. As far as New Friendo goes - Swerve has the history with Will, and is every bit as dangerous as Mox, but I think you're implying Hangman, which would tie off the arc from last year's Owen.

Misha Sumra

Will doesn't need a Plastic Bag to find his Killer Instinct. He has the Tiger Driver '91 for that.

Vic Cutting

Overall a great show in ring, I love the way ospreays character is handled. Also knight was great in the main event

Joofy Juice

This is my first time leaving a comment since I got the Patreon been watching since 2018 when I was 17 I’m now 25 and still love washing you guys I love catching up on all the Patreon stuff I’ve missed over the years . Loved this PPV. I’m so happy Kenny turned heal and I really loved the bandido vs fletcher match probably my personal match of the night

Pollo

U can tell Mercedes was trying to hide her smile for Willow Should b grate match

Real One's Georgie Tuffs

I enjoyed this show as always with an AEW ppv. I think anyone comparing this ppv with others need to have a look at the line up and should have been realistic with their expectations. I class myself as a Sicko but I do think these shows are getting a bit long. Will never happen but i think these b level ppv need to be 3 hours long. AEW and WWE have same problem which is their so determined to put on a event they do a show which just doesn't need to be there with matches that don't need to be on ppv. Would love both companies to just do 4-6 ppv a year And bring back that special feeling to every ppv.

Andrew M.

I love that speedball won

Jamaal Ellison

Was the one who needed redemption Will Ospreay?

Nathan

CORONA IS KING

Shae

Will turning on the deathriders just for omega to turn on him was a corona masterclass. Willow & Thekla was amazing However Kenny vs knight was my match of the night

RetroRasslinFan

5/10 for me personally Negatives: don't think will and mox should of lost if u want the bucks to win to get a title match just book them against someone else instead of jobbing your top babyface and one of your top heels, the chain match was dreadful and can't we give 3-5 extra minutes to the marquee matches and give some 9-13 minutes i don't understand why every match had to go 16+ minutes Positives: enjoyed the Fletcher bandido match a lot, the tag team title match i thought was good and the main event and its post match left a lot for them to develop on their way to all in.

Sam Sullivan

Honestly one of the weakest AEW PPVs I've seen unfortunately. All 3 tag matches kinda sucked, the ending segment infuriated me, and for the first time since getting into AEW I agree with Oli: this was simply too long. Still overall fine but disappointed compared to what I've come to expect from AEW

Mike C

Dont know. Didnt watch. Waiting for reviews. First ppv of aew i was not buying since they debuted

Lando

The biggest problem I have with AEW, is it raised my expectations for an AEW ppv. Meaning a perfectly good ppv felt underwhelming at times peppered in with great matches here and there. Saying that, if my only criticism is, it wasn't a 10/10 and that's only because that's what I'm so used to. Then it's a me problem. So To answer Russel Crowes long standing question...was I entertained? The answer was yes. Yes I was.

Brent

I would rank Redemption at the bottom for AEW PPVs this year but it doesn't mean it was a bad show though. I didn't expect Maya to win the TBS title but I will give credit that AEW isn't going to let the hype around Maya to die and is willing to see what she can do with the TBS title. Personally I still wanted her to win the ROH Women's title from Athena but having her winning the TBS title while Athena still hasn't won a single AEW title is an angle to go with. If Maya was in WWE, HHH would be telling her "You got all the time in the world to be champion but you aren't ready yet."

Hok

AEW is the adhd wrestling promotion. In 30 seconds we got 2 450s, a Mexican destroyer, super kick, bte trigger and a hidden blade.

jake

Do I think it was better or even as good as the last pay-per-view, no. But do I think it was worth my money, yes.

Johnny Stemple

This was easily the least anticipated ppv of the year but it still hit for me. And while I didn't care for the Jericho or cage and cope match. Shida vs maya world, Kyle Fletcher vs Bandido, and Omega vs knight really knocked it out of the park. Kevin knight feels like he gets better Everytime he's on screen and this was yet another standout performance, btw the knees knight took off the UFO splash looked brutal

Mohammed Albanai

Good to great matches overall, but the show still felt like a detour. On the road to all in this was a stop for ice cream and I like Ice cream as much as the next guy, but I'd rather just get to all in. Also I'm mad thekla lost and the match orders felt off. Overall 7.5/10 PPV

Harney5150

Decent PPV, I always feel like AEW never have "B level" ppv's but this was certainly their most B level scale ppv possibly in company history, but still a very good ppv. I do however come out of this feeling, what the hell do the death riders do now? I feel like over the last few weeks the death riders have slowly fallen back into that pre All In Texas phase for me where they are just generic heels helping other heels on the roster and they almost never win matches unless Moxley is involved. All members of the Death Riders have lost to Cope and Cage in recent weeks and I feel that in recent months Garcia and Yuta have kinda gone backwards and dont feel like real threats to anyone. Moxley also I feel has slowed down a little on the character side because a few weeks back we saw a man that was violent but had a internal code and respect that would leave matters in the ring, now I feel hes has also sinked back into a more generic heel type character which for me was exposed more last night bringing back the plastic bag which started the whole death riders to begin with. Also, I hope last night wasnt an Omega heel turn, for me it feels a little forced doing it this quickly after he just had his "Redemption" with MJF and I feel that you could just have a face vs face Wembley main event that is just a feel good moment and showcasing the 2 best wrestlers in the world.

Joseph Machado

A solid show held back by some wildly overproduced matches. While AEW's storytelling continues to be top tier, its midcard pacing is a struggle. Bang Bang Gang vs. The Dogs had no business being on a thick 9-match card with two title changes. My feedback for this show is the same I had for alot of matches on it: somtimes less is more. The finale is a great step towards All In and, while not a full blown heel turn, I'm curious if Kenny's paranoia will play a role in the weeks to come.

Ryan Symons

Redemption was a solid 8/10 PPV carried by some truly incredible in ring work The Positives: -The ladder match was the spot fest I was expecting, and very fun to have speedball win in front of the home town. -Bucks v. Deathriders was really solid and I felt told a good story with Will not being willing to go that extra step when facing people he considers to be his friends. -Bandido and Fletcher stole the show for me what a great match, future world champions for sure. -I think the TBS title match was everything it needed to be especially with Maya getting the win. Hopefully this gives that belt a bit of direction but given its history I’ll remain skeptical. -Andrade v. Davis was another banger because of course it was look who’s in the ring. I wonder if they’re gonna do a belt collector gimmick for Andrade where he takes all of the Don Callis Family’s belts. Andrade pointed at a fans TNT belt on his way out and it seemed like he may have said “this one is next”. Could do that match against Knight at Grand Slam and then Andrade v. Fletcher at Wembley. -Willow v. Thekla was great, I will always enjoy watching the AEW homegrowns win their first world title. I wish the finish was a bit more definitive, the backslide pin while surprising felt a bit anticlimactic especially after commentary pointed out that Willow didn’t sit out for the gut wrench powerbomb like she normally does which felt like a hint towards what the finish was going to be. -Incredible main event even if the winner was obvious from the start but again of course it was, it was a Kenny match. The negatives/nitpicks -While the match was fun I feel like you shouldn’t do this double chain stipulation if you’re not gonna blow off the feud. Especially with AEWs history of people attached to their opponents via a chain matches. Instead it feels like we’re headed to a 5v5 for Wembley with all of the bang bang gang v the dogs and probably some of the deathriders -While I enjoy Cope & Cage as a tag team their title reign is starting to get a little stale for me, the match was decent enough but hopefully the Bucks take the belts in London and we go straight into Bucks v. New Day for All Out in Chicago. -Not gonna lie all the fun hardcore spots almost made me forget that the Painmaker is a bad gimmick and then I remembered that Jericho was wasting Ciampa’s time with it and I got angry again. Please put Ciampa back in one of the title pictures you have so many you could be using him in.

Lawson Douvier

Kyle Fletcher is seriously making the case that he is the best wrestler on an insanely stacked roster. And he is definitely better than Billy Gunn. Sorry Billy Gunn.

Blake

Hey Luke and oli, I’ve been a big fan of wrestletalk since 2016, finally joined the Patreon! Watched the show with some friends and we thought it was overall good, but felt some matches dragged on especially compared to some recent shows. However, to all of our surprise our match of the night was the PAINMAKER and ciampa! That son of a bitch has done it again! Guess we all need some plunder every now and again😂

KidCutty

Yeeeaaahhhh I think yall at Wrestletalk are about to find out how many "die-hard" AEW fans you have in the Patreon 😂 tbh this wasnt it...It wasnt bad but it was missable. Will lost some Aura tonight to man which is a shame. AGAIN, it had some good matches, but not 5hrs worth of them unfortunately

Mr. Grimes

Is it just me or have there been too many title changes right before All In? Both the world titles, the TBS title, the International title and the National title have all changed hands since Double or Nothing. It's really making me uninvested in the title matches coming up because the stakes feel lesser, thoughts? PS: I'm sure Oli had to remind Luke to do the post. So proud of you Oli!

Richard Glasby

Worked myself into a shoot thinking kairi was gonna cost thekla the title to defend the honour of stardom

Dev King

Man not only was Mox right… but someones gotta pick up the phone, because CHUMP MARK ,ADAM CORONA CALLED IT, give the man his lifetime membergship

Toiresa

Adam Corona was hit in the head with Apollo's dodgeball istg
