We get a video on Mone complaining about Riho. I couldn't hear most of it though as the audio was bad. I think she said something to the effect of her never getting her TBS Title.

Bill says the people love Eddie because he looks like he does. He says they hate him because he looks like he does. He says Eddie worships all of their Japanese wrestling legends. Bill says he doesn't give a d@mn about Japanese wrestling, Eddie or the fans. Bill challenges him for All Out next week. Bill says Eddie won't have the balls to show up because he is a typical loud mouth fraud.

Max Caster comes in and pushes Bowens as he passes through. Bowens pounds on him then throws him into the rail. Bowens throws him in the ring then Max lariats him. 

Bowens sends him into the buckles and foot stomps him there. Jerry Lynn comes in. Bowens teases hitting him but doesn't. Lynn asks what is wrong with them and asks if they lost their minds. He says he was in Tony's office when Tony brought them in. He says Tony told them he saw something in them as a team. He says they fought their way to the top and became tag champs. He said they both thought they could have a great singles run but Max hasn't won one match and Bowens is spinning his wheels doing nothing, floundering in the midcard.

Bowens exits the ring. Lynn asks if he can't take the heat. Lee Johnson and Blake Christian come out. Blake says it makes him sick to see Lynn play therapist. He asks if he will become Daddy @ss #2.

We get a quick promo from both teams in the Josh Alexander/Hechicero vs Top Flight match. The Bang Bang Gang then does a promo on The Young Bucks.

AEW Unified title - Kazuchika Okada vs Michael Oku

It's unknown how Oku got this shot. He has only wrestled in AEW one other time on a PPV pre-show. We see them talking to each other. Okada gets mad that he thinks he needs Don Callis' help to win. Okada says he's the best tournament wrestler alive.

Oku hits another superkick. Oku comes off the top and is dropkicked. Oku cradles him then backslides him. Oku misses a corner move. Okada tombstones him and rainmakers him for the win.

Thoughts: It was a random one and Okada won. I was surprised it didn't go longer than it did and wasn't more of a long drawn out match. I thought it was about average. No one should really lose in their TV debut, but Oku sure did which continues an AEW tradition.

Thoughts: It was an alright main. Kyle's knee was worked over some and DG eventually tapped him out with a move targeting it. DG thankfully won in his first match since turning heel.

Matt Menard asks for an explanation from DG after and yells. DG ignores him. 

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of a better show than usual and the show was alright. Takeshita/Bowens was average but I liked the Bowens/Max segment later in the show. The women's 5v5 tag was fine but it needed more time as there were a lot of people involved. I liked the FTR match. Okada/Oku was shorter and didn't do a lot more either guy. The main was fine as well. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall and thought The Acclaimed segment was the best thing on the show.
