AEW - All Elite Wrestling (*Spoilers for Latest Show*)

I'd have to assume it's inevitable assuming relations stay good (which with Rocky Romero they hopefully will). We know likes of Danielson wants to do a G1 some day and Moxley wants Tanahashi, and both of them are guys NJPW want. Would seem fair for NJPW to return the favour with maybe Ibushi and Omega having a run in AEW or Okada doing a match with Best Friends/Chaos against Elite or something.

Great match indeed.

Punk and MJF on the mic is so much fun.

Well there it is Cody got the title to promote a TBS show.

Lots of injuries after show that Rey Finex with a broken arm

Rampage spoiler injury.

That Ray fenix injury was horrific, I wonder did that result in the roll up finish? Seems an awful way for lucha bros to lose the titles in that way.. Also jungle express theme tune is possibly the best thing I've ever heard

Jade Cargill with a slopy finisher to win the title, although I don't get the Ruby soho hype but surely someone legit should have taken that belt . She's the aew version of nia jax,but I guess she's got that look they want

Just rewatched the table spot after seeing the comments here. Ow! When watching it originally I thought as well he got the table badly.

That finisher from Jade looked bad but I'm not sure if it's better or worse than it could've been since it looked like she was trying to do it from the top rope. May have given Ruby more time to make it look better.

Why was Wardlow's match made official considering his opponent clearly wasn't for to compete and the ref didn't check him?

They really need to sort out their lighting problem. How many times do they go out during the shows? When it was showing everyone in their seats after the tag match I just assumed the lights going out during the match was Black going to his seat.

Realised after I posted that the lights going out was Black getting some revenge on the Lucha Bros for earlier

Deeb vs. Shida 4 next week I could watch these two wrestlers going at it every week.

Best of 9.

Some great on that show and some horrible.

Obviously crap for Fenix but that Jade Vs Soho match was worse than seeing that injury. It was so bad. Jade is obviously green as hell but Ruby also sucked badly in that match, and looked like she refused to go to the top rope on that finisher making it look even worse. Jericho's promo was also awful and very juvenile. Oh my, he's got a square head, feck off with that.

..

Must say I'm hugely disappointed with the Lucha Brothers tag team title run!Such a great team they are!

And disgusted they lost it Jurrasic Express.No way should they be near the tag titles!

And Christian seriously needs to get away from them and turn heel!Watching him being a glorified cheerleader for them pisses me right off!

I'm fine with JE getting a run and they set up the story well, with all the tag teams coming out rubbing their hands as they all fancy their chances now.

I don't know why people would think they don't deserve a shot but I guess it's because people weirdly hate Luchasauras.

What a difference a week makes after a poor show for New Years...

Page / Bryan was superb. As someone who still had doubts about Page that is how you put someone over and make him look like a real star.

Punk / MJF carried on nicely.

Jericho not for me with the dumbass humour. Becoming a caricature.

Wardlow carry on being Wardlow. Actually looking forward to Wardlow vs Miro down the road.

Jade is a funny one. She's so green it's tough for anyone to drag her through a match but she absolutely looks like a million bucks. She has potential crossover appeal she's so striking looking so I can see why they are keen to keep her momentum building but they need to keep her training hard and working with veterans. Booker T could be her ideal coach if they could get him, she almost has a female version of his physique with the long, powerful legs.

Black Pillman was grand until the botch. They recovered it well with the instant punishment and could work it into the storyline.

Tag match was fantastic like all Lucha Bros matches until they had to wrap it up in a hurry which was a shame. I saw a semi spoiler re Fenix's injury and was worried it might have been high flying botch related, of all the ways to suffer an injury being choke slammed through a table by a 6' 5" dinosaur is a fair enough one.

Easy to see why they went with the JE win. After Christian hyping them up they basically had to or they would quickly become one of wrestling's many, many nearly men. The theme of the week for me was "we stick by our guys". Page, MJF and Jungle Boy all came out of it looking great and Jade gets crowned as a champion. They were trying to put Pillman Jr over too with the second to last slot on a big card.

For a debut on a new channel it was excellent. If you look at it from the perspective of the target audience - brand new viewers and lapsed WWE fans - in nearly every match / scene you got a big name star and a homegrown AEW star or at least someone you might recognise from the other side and an AEW prospect. It's a very smart approach to building viewer numbers. Especially when (spoiler alert) the competition are just going to put on the same matches they do every other week in opposition because that is all they ever do.
