➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “All right well it’s nice to see FTR maybe entering this feud with Death Riders but does it really make sense for them to defend AEW? They’re one of the teams that should be upset at AEW for booking them into the ground.”

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Slightly interesting to see these guys break up. Action & Lio were never actually IN Top Flight so I don’t know if it’s really a break up. They all hang out. I think these guys can do with breaking up tho. Nothings come from them being together.”
