I had a great time with this show.
Going in the only match I didn't want to see was the FTW championship 3 way. It was fine for what it was, but didn't need to be on pay per view.

I also have no idea what the point of an 'injured' Mox vs Takeshita was. I assumed it was to allow Konoske to get the win ans protect Moxley. Instead we got an 18 minute sell job with the wrong winner IMO.

Aside from that, the rest of the show was class.
Surprised to see people speaking negatively of the Copeland vs Black match. I loved every second of it. Maybe you need to be a House Of Black mark to fully invest.

Swerve and Christian had a ripper, and I even went and watched it for a second time.
It's a shame this didn't get the main event billing, because it could have easily been in that slot on its own. Understandable why it wasn't though.
I wanted Christian as the first challenger to Swerve before he'd even won the title, so this was my fantasy booking come to life.

The main event was bonkers entertainment. Darby Allin continues to raise the bar. If he didn't get his nose shattered again on that upside down superkick then I have no idea how they faked the impact.

Again, not that it matters because it's just one blokes opinion, but I'd love to know the justification for Storm vs Deeb being the 'second worst' march of the night and how the bizarre booking of Takeshita and Mox somehow equalled the same rating as the fantastic Swerve/Christian match.
