➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Thought AR Fox has a pretty good match on ROH this past Thursday. So I popped a bit when he came out. Decent matchup. But Ricochet’s promos leave a bit to be desired. Maybe he should just let his in-ring work do the talking."

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Interesting little twist that Orange Cassidy doesn’t want to join the good fight. It is a lot of effort. But you’d think he’d be all in for AEW, being an original and superstar on the show. But I kinda like it."

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I have been giving hella 👎s to anything involving Harley Cameron. For this review it was just a match, no promo. So it wasn’t awful and the right person went over. So I don’t have much to say about it. I do think it’s time AEW moved on from Harley Cameron, though. They gave it a good try. 👏 "

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Funny that Jake is never out there with these guys, after all the fanfare of him managing the faction. But at least they’re featuring these guys. I like the group. LFI vs Outrunners or FTR would both be interesting.”

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I’m a little irked that they sent Atlantis Jr out there to job at this time. Just watched ROH and he seems to want another TV Title shot against Brian Cage. Got a solid victory. Looked like it was headed in that direction. And then they send him to lose to Fletcher. It’s not a terrible person to lose to. And Atlantis can still be going for gold, but I think they could have picked from so many other wrestlers to go out there and do the job."

⭐️Kayhan: “This was uneventful. Just a victory for these guys to keep it fresh in our minds that they’re still powerful, I guess would be the only justification I see for this booking."

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Another terrible backstage Harley Cameron segment. So now they got plans for her to work with Thunder Rosa. I’m telling you, for some reason Harley Cameron gets the most consistent air time. She’s on every freaking show!"

=====

11) Sami Guevara Talks Upcoming Match With Shelton Benjamin On Dynamite

ONE SEGMENT (0:50)

-Video Package: Sami Guevara

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Interesting that they pick Sami to face Shelton Benjamin next. Supposedly Sami is one of AEW’s ‘pillars’ but he hasn’t been featured in AEW lately. These two seem like they can have a good match. But with the size difference and the fact that Shelton and MVP are new, it seems Shelton’s gonna go over. So I just find this interesting because it seems for whatever reason, any big plans for Sami on this show got pushed to the wayside."
