Thoughts: They stiffed each other here and each took some hard bumps. The crowd wasn't that into it because neither girl is that over here and I thought it went longer than it needed to. I'd say it was average overall. Having Dani lose in her debut is stupid.

Blood and Guts is on 11/4.

Thoughts: The Bucks win...of course. Did they need to win? No, but the AEW Tag division is only allowed to focus on 2 teams and those are The Bucks and FTR. And The Bucks just happen to be EVP's, which I'm sure had no weight in this outcome. It was a long match with tons of dangerous spots here. I'm sure there were multiple injuries. I'm not trying to purposely undercut this, just everything you could really do in a ladder match has been done already and the bar for outdoing something like TLC II is so impossibly high that it's not even worth it. I just don't want to see people get hurt and take unnecessary risks on a match that probably don't stand the test of time.
We get a video on Wardlow, who has been out of action since March 2024.

Thoughts: I wasn't that into this one going in and I didn't think it was that good. I didn't like the story going into this and it's a long extension of the problems The BCC and now The Death Riders have run into. Some days they are faces, some days they are cold-blooded killers and that makes it hard for storyline building. Mox and Will should hate each other, but they treat each other as respect rivals and whatever you end up getting when they interact just seems to be a coin toss depending on the day. We had a bunch of random interference here which will surely lead to Blood and Guts too that didn't help this. I thought this was below average.
Mox takes Will's belt away from him after. Mox then puts the belt on him.
Overall thoughts: It was the usual very long AEW PPV. If you watched the pre-show, you were here for 5.5 hours. AEW hardcores might not mind but for people who aren't as into AEW, it's an endurance contest. I didn't like Idolo/Pac. Darby's tag match ended via due to a doctor's stoppage. Persphone/Luna didn't work. Okada/Ciampa was alright. The Women's tag match was something different and it was also alright. I thought the AEW Trios Title match was the match of the night. Willow/Thekla was average. The ladder match was your usual ladder match. Mox/Will was below average.
As always, AEW tries to put on a good PPV and give you your money's worth. There were a lot of people missing here (MJF, Omega, Takeshita, Gabe, Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate, The Demand, The Conglomeration and Mistico). There were rumors were that Ilja Dragunov might appear here, but it didn't happen. I thought it was a weaker show overall though. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as for how much I enjoyed it but I'd say effort wise, it was a 5 or 6 out of 10. It was just not a strong night in the ring and the hot stories weren't there. I thought it was below average. AEW's running more PPV's now and that means weaker PPV's as wrestlers have to work more so they take it easier and creative has to set up for more shows so you don't see all the best stuff all in one night.
