I was looking through the card and I think it looks a lot better on paper than the build showed us. The one match that rubs me a bit wrong is Cole and Joe because it is a direct transfer from WWE match and that's just a bit odd. More odd than Mox and Jericho back at Revolution a few years ago, because their characters were totally different. Plus I don't have any memory of a Dean Ambrose/Jericho match in WWE.

Aside from that Tony's booked a lot of AEW originals against former WWE stars. It will be interesting to see who ends up with the rub in those situations because you have to justify spending big money on these WWE releases, you can't have them job so much and from my memory the recent signings have all taken losses. Obviously you don't want to put the AEW guys in a spot where they look to be on a lower level than WWE's rejects.

There is a very large AEW original presence on the PPV and that's a good thing. For me it's just that there are a lot of solid AEW originals that just don't cut it for me and they keep them around for the future, like Scorpio Sky who signed a 5 year deal. I can't watch that guy for 5 years are you kidding me?

I wish AEW had a roster cap at 60 ppl men and women and anyone else was on a per appearance or structured deal for the "length of a program".
