⭐️Kayhan: “There was a really weird spot in this match where the Acclaimed tried to pin each other. The commentators were confused and no one knew the actual rules. I would think that since only one of them was legal, that that was really stupid… other than that, I’m only giving any thumbs up at all for Private Party’s charismatic ringwalk entrance. I forgot how fun they can be. They should try to get them show some personality more often. We’ve only gotten the serious Private Party recently.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I wont give a 👎 because at least it had me on the edge of my seat questioning who was going to win. But I’m disappointed they didn’t just put the belt on Orange Cassidy already. We all know it’s gonna happen. I just wanted them get it over with already so we can move on. But no, this is gonna drag out even further.😩 More long term storytelling.🤦♂️”

⭐️Kayhan: “I’ll give credit for the well worked match and the heel MJF Afterbirth. But I am not feeling anything for O’Reilly and the drama with the old Undisputed Era. Wish they could move on from that already. Those were the glory days, bro. But they’re over!”

⭐️Kayhan: “I was really hoping Kamille’s broken arm was a swerve and she would come out and help Mercedes. But, no! Mercedes just beat Statlander clean! Omg. I’m only commenting on the booking. But having the bad guy beat they babyface you’re supposedly building the future around, it doesn’t make sense to me.”

⭐️Kayhan: “Well i gotta say I’m pretty surprised by the result. To me it felt like a bad time for Ospreay to take a clean loss. The guy still hasn’t become champion yet. I get that be wanted to help elevate his friend, but I don’t think they set this up well enough to give Fletcher a chance to really become a star off a win like this… but I will say that the tombstone off the apron onto the steel steps might be the craziest move I’ve ever seen in wresting. At least if Ospreay was going to lose, he lost taking a move like that!”

⭐️Kayhan: “oh man.😆 I thought this seemed like a terrible idea for a PPV segment but man did I love it in the end! The initial attack on Mina looked sloppy but Mina saved it with the absolutely crazed facial expressions and the bloody mouth. I think I’ll never forget this one!… and btw, I think these two will have a banger.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I didn’t like how Jack Perry tried to act all tough, letting Garcia hit him and then lose like that! He can say he let Garcia win so I don’t really see this as a strong way to put someone over. But I will say it was a solid intense match and I liked it up until the finish.”

⭐️Kayhan: “Again I’ll give them credit for trying something here. But hard to take Darby Allin seriously after all the clean losses he’s been taking lately. He tries to run over the Death Riders but totally misses. So that was kinda stupid. I’ll give this some credit for the chaotic feel of it and the Death Riders feeling the need to steal a car to escape the danger was pretty amusing.”
