⭐️Kayhan: Very strange time to have challengers step up to Cody. He’s kinda busy rn. but ok. i guess it’s good to show orton and mcintyre are still serious about chasing after the title. but they’re both occupied so neither of them are happening rn.

⭐️Kayhan: the slam onto the car looked great!… and as far drew not being in a title match at mania, this is is still better than being in aew. it’s a coherant feud. just keep doing solid professional work and keep the respect from the fans going. i’m sure good things will come for mcintyre. he is too good!!
⭐️Vlad: This was great with Drew just wanting to get drunk but Priest attacking him. Of course it's pretty ridiculous for him to be standing outside the door Drew happened to be leaving it but I'm letting that slide. Drew: Glass in my eye!!!
⭐️Robert: Was that real glass? Either way, CM Punk passing by and laughing felt like a not so subtle jab at AEW lol
