    I feel the smarter fans and AEW loyalists/diehards will be more in the boo crowd. It'll be the more casual watchers in the yay crowd.

    I think Punk will be more of a tweener, leaning either way where it warrants.

    I hope that mixed-tag match is the end of Jericho vs. Cole. I don’t think it will be, but I can hope.

    i would say if they want to save MJFs title reign then that’s next Cole. But that probably has to wait until after the njpw crossover sadly

    Great work by both guys, being Yuta in that situation probably isn’t easy.

    I’ve been impressed with Bandido every time I’ve seen him.

    The way AEW is bringing in all the lucha guys, it's giving me a little bit of a vibe like the mid/late '90s WCW cruiserweight rush that Rey Mysterio Jr. helped usher in -- not necessarily a bad thing.

    I'm a little torn here. Knight deserves the push and could put together some killer promos (especially if he wins the briefcase), but Montez and Ricochet in a high-intensity ladder match together is a wild thought.

    A little lost in translation and dialect...

    Talking about Rhea Ripley, Wade Barrett said he "can't get enough of mammy."

    Ouch.

    And there we go. We're back to 2 separate top belts in WWE.

    Damn, I was hoping Solo was going to spike Reigns.

    Either way, helluva segment.

    And Solo spikes his own big brother. Guessing we get Roman/Solo vs. Usos at MITB, then Roman/Jimmy in the big show at SummerSlam, but there's going to be some epic drama coming up. And Jey still seems kinda conflicted -- does he turn on Jimmy?

    AEW has four championship matches on Rampage … and none of them are AEW belts.

    Strange.

    Some more Bloodline fantasy booking I can see: they bring in Rikishi in hopes of uniting his three sons, Rikishi gets hot on Roman, and Solo spikes his old man -- presuming Rikishi can still take a little bit of a bump.
