Final Thoughts

What I’m excited for: Kenta on Dynamite. AEW and NJPW working together is something fans have been begging for since AEW was first announced. Kenta showing up sparked another intense round of fantasy booking for me and I can’t wait to see where they go from here.

What I’m Confused About: Tony Schiavone is interviewing Sting…again? How many times has Sting come down to the ring for one of these only to be interrupted by Team Taz? Last week’s warehouse vignette was fun and more effective. Need to see more of that.

What I’m dreading: Actually…nothing. I think this is a really strong card. If I have to pick something ,I’d say Leyla Hirsch vs. Thunder Rosa – not because I think it’ll be bad, though. I was really intrigued by Hirsch’s appearance on Dynamite a couple of weeks ago and wanted her to go deep in this tournament. I just don’t see her going over Thunder Rosa in the first round.
